Be Excellent To Each Other

I followed a link from another forum to his infamous Tomb Raider review, and thought "ah, it's the angry man from Digitiser... oh he's still quite angry, isn't he?". Bookmarked his site. Then a few weeks later edited the bookmark to point at the forum, rather than the front page, as that was where I always went straight to.

He and Mali used to play Space Pirate together.

No, I finished it.

But it's now 15 years and 3 months since I joined up there. A significant chunk of my life, that.

Mop told me about the forum as a way to meet people to play Halo with.

Mop told me about the forum as I’d just got married and he thought I looked too happy about life.

Mali brought me here, met on a EVE board.

Mop pays me to post.

Doccy g mentioned beex on usenet, I think. Someone from here did anyway.

I would gladly pay you to stop

Not sure how I found his site.. perhaps either fruit machine emulation or just speccy nostalgia.

Me or The Rev, I expect.

That’s where I saw it mentioned too.
Not sure who or which group though.

Probably ugvm? The only other place I would have mentioned it was alt.digi, but that was already years dead before beex came along. I have a vague feeling I may have mentioned beex there but you would have been unlikely to see it.

Yep, I mostly lurked there but that’ll be the place.
It could also have been Niaz (gospvg) who mentioned it.

Ap2 or occasionally lurking on newsgroups or some other internet search re Amiga Power

Didn’t WoS result from the collapse of digiworld.tv?

I can't parse the fact the Beex and Usenet were both visited Internet destinations at the same time.

Ugvm had comfortably more posts than beex for a fair period of time while they ran in parallel, I shifted over when it started to die off.

Not been back to ugvm in years!

I enjoyed both, and still look at WoS once or twice a year to see if there is any new content (sometimes the occasional article appears).

Boom

Anyone wanna put in for a Kickstarter to get him £100 worth of Sports Mixture?

For some reason we're talking about that over here.

Because this is the thread where we are nice about him, if you want to take the piss you need to do it elsewhere

Stu has posted his latest crowdfunding campaign

Goal of 50k - launched about 5 hours ago and he's at 37k already

And goal reached (50.5k in about 10 hours)

Is he Scotland's Nigel Farage?

who could have predicted

I mean, I'm confused why anyone would think he wouldn't. I certainly would in his place

Easy money for him isn't it?

It's still mind blowing.

“Pay costs” is so vague. His or Kezza’s or both? You’ve got to possess some kind of special arrogance to commence an expensive litigation without the means to pay your costs and/or an adverse costs order.

As he points out at the start of this campaign, he swore last year that that would be the last one. He claims he’s doing another now because of Brexit but he wouldn’t have known Brexit was going to be delayed when he started the proceedings against Dugdale.

Remember when everyone got him a Wii using a pyramid scheme? Yeah, he’s been doing this forever.

How different might this world be if all you fucking fuckheads had've just paid your 2 pounds a month.

I thought the justification was pretty transparent, and a good one.
