Does timmy frequent this thread? :confused: Why are you so obsessed with ataricc? It's over. They did the right thing. Everyone's happier now.Quote:

He thinks that banning people he will get rid of us. He could not be more wrong.
He made a mistake and he will deal with the consequences of his own actions.
He is causing harm to the company, and when you hurt a company, company uses to react in a harsh manner.
"This situation was more than clarified (several times in fact with proper causation and correlation) and I'm not restating anything of the sort further." :bulb:
I have the feeling that when the company discovers what he is doing, some people may be banned, some others fired and the whole thing escalated internally inside the company.
My "Kathaksung crystal ball" tells me that.
I doubt it. He may lose moderator status if, for some reason, some random person (Phoxe?) decides to care. But I think it just as likely that the CC will be either completely closed down or just ignored so long as the new rules are adhered to. Atari doesn't care, and it has no reason to care.Quote:

I'm convinced that Atari didn't care. The new admin did, but his bosses didn't give a shit. If they actually cared, it wouldn't have taken them nearly a decade and, what, a dozen admins? to close the thing down.
It was curiously timed with their release of the Star Trek MMO however, while I wouldn't go so far as Atari not caring, I would say that Phoxe (and now Timmeh) are taking their directives far more literally and enforcing with more zeal than corporate would have cared, and are mainly doing so for personal reasons.Quote:

Timmy8675309 only knows rules, and not finesse. Honestly I think if he posted less or responded less, we would become bored and leave. He fuels the fire, repeatedly. No finesse.Quote:

Rules? What rules?Quote:

But if you see it from a different perspective, Atari is sacrificing itself, its profits and jobs, taking all Timmy's time, so Timmy does not annoy anyone else on planet Earth. Social responsibility?
And Timmy tells us "unite against Timmy", which helps our community.
True. To think Phoxe handled the moderation better than T2035 boggles the mind but it's true. Phoxe fucked off after a while and just when we had no one to rag against, untill the Stalwart Superhero Hero of Atari shows up, paints a big target on himself and goes: "Lets get along! *irritating smilies*".Quote:

And actually, any discussion which he is not steering/in direct control of is going to get derailed by us somehow, since going "off-topic" as he defines thread-drift is now apparently grounds for closure as well. Which is why, if/when an admin actually looks into what he's doing, he's probably going to get demodded. But I don't think that will happen anytime soon.Quote:

If Timmy is in charge of it, apparently. One notes he insists that almost any, if not all, of the topics discussed in this particular subforum would be welcomed and not in the least against the rules over there, but any of these discussions, if over there, would have been closed by him. Going off-topic, abusive behavior, spammy, too large, complaining. . .Quote:

Anything else is derailed off-topicness whichi is not acceptable.
AtariCC should be renamed as "support Timmy's forum"
It's content could be reduced to:
"Godzilla is better than Mechagodzilla, 0 is better than 1, tea is better than coffee, we love Timmy, the master of the universe, wow I like Godzilla!!".
But of course, since the master of the universe is He-Man, he could argue that HeMan is indecent because he looks sexually indecent, and you may get infraction points.
I seriously doubt anyone at Atari cares what happens in that forum so long as no one is posting controversial topics that might embarrass the company. As long as Phoxe/Timmy is stepping on that sort of thing, why would they care what he does? It isn't like our experience there is somehow going to affect Atari sales. If they came out with a really awesome 4x space game - like an awesome Moo4 -who even among us, those directly aggrieved, that is a fan of that genre and/or dynasty, wouldn't buy it?Quote:

Atari have no reason to demod Timmy. As far as they'll be concerned if anyone looks in for a simplistic look the forum is under attack by a bunch of troublemakers and Timmy is doing a good job trying to keep them in line. If anything Timmy will be congratulated.
Still, its utter garbage and his hypocrisy is what bothers me. Insults people then gets shocked when they reply, closes some topics then posts in ones nearly identical to it. There is no consistency at all, just what does Timmeh feel like. :rolleyes:
As for the timing of the Star Trek MMO and the changes - it's no coincidence. Phoxe was never even an Atari employee you see, he works for the company that publishes that game. Atari no doubt have given him admin powers to assist with the community for his game (as they do for all their sub-companies down the years) and he's gone too far. But no-one in Atari seems to care one-way or the other, the idea this came from Atari is bullshit though. It came from them.
I actually did buy some Atari games directly because of that forum being home to us for a number of years. Heard about games I wouldn't otherwise have, and purchased some I probably wouldn't otherwise have bought. That won't be happening any more.Quote:

Is English his first language?Quote:

So I understand the spirit behind Nessus words: Reciprocity.
Buying used copy has the effect of being legal, and still you boycott.
Certainly it sounds like a Derek Smart clone.Quote:

Perhaps in the short term. But not in the long term. Some day he will find a worthy Nemesis, and he will understand.Quote:

I also like how the gnashing of teeth continues on and on from the "Hanging on in quiet desperation" English types. It is of particular richness that they complain of the so-called "censorship" and yet discussions are underway in their new hole about "Can we ban so and so?" and "Do we really want Dragon Ball Z idiots here?" not to mention technical work being done to make their forum's ignore function more streamlined. Bonus for the harrassment and "demands of the shutting up" of AR81, probably because he is from one of those brown-people countries and we now all know what true racists they have over there. What a great community!
Now run away like usual and pretend you didn't see this post as well! Keep them heads stuck in the sand!
Well, I got a nice surprise gift in store for "The Core-Rotten Worlders" come April Fool's Day...

SMACKY is Talladega from years ago, weird guy with an obsession about Tarik Aziz (sp?).
Didn't realise it until recently (after I was demodded). He was banned as Talladega apparently but I don't know why, he was banned before either Dread or I became mods.
I just want to say that I'd be shaking in my undies over dipshit and his April Fool's Day plans, if only I were wearing undies.

It seems I am far older, I have spend double of the time I have had. Notice my account was reset in the big forum crash in 2000. I joined in 1999.
I bet the day when he will be demodded or Atari forum shuts down, he may feel there is no sense of life anymore.
To me, Timothy2035 is an internet addict with poor social skills.
It looks like he is playing a game called "let's be Hitler, let myself to prove I am a fascist lamer, a big loser".
And I thought I spent too much time online.
