"You've been told, time and time again why you were banned, yet you continue to believe you're being persecuted because of your server, which is your continuing lie. You were banned because of how you reacted to your server being taken off, and your subsequent actions after that. I'm not going to rehash it any more.
Time to grow up edgar. Show me you can do that. Show me you can post and not whine. Show me you can help anyone who bothers to come in here for answers. Snide remarks on how many or how few are moot. Until you step up and do that, don't bother coming here.
'nuff said."
I'm well aware I wasn't banned because of my megaserver and never said 'I was banned because of my megaserver'.
Now then, you say I was banned because of how I reacted to my server being taken off. That's not true Taz.
I was reacting to being banned. Remember? Someone accused me of crashing them.
Then I went months and months with no means of contacting Ambrosia about why I was banned because I didn't know about these boards. When I finally learned of these boards I came here and acted like a jackass.
I reacted the way I did because I had been unjustly (Atomic and Missile Man admitted they had done the crashing) banned and for months had no means of straightening the situation out.
Yes, I could have chosen to not act like a jackass when I came here. But the fact is, I went through months of silence (albeit involuntarily) and nothing was resolved then either.
Now you say you want me to show I can grow up. Do you remember what happened the first time I came to these boards? I apologized for acting like a complete ass to Andrew and the rest of the board. I admitted my wrong, I accepted responsibility for my mistake.
Yet when it came to Andrew banning me wrongly and leaving me in the dark for months, I received no apology in return. Yet you defend him and attack me.

If I'm going to answer someone's question on this board, I'm not going to do it just so I can prove to you I'm mature. I can help new guys, but if I can't do it in the realm of Avara, it's rather pointless. I helped teach new players how to play, ask people who visited my server when it was up.
But the fact is, if this guy has never seen a server up on the tracker before, there's a possibility he's still got it set on Appletalk (Which is the default) and hasn't set it to TCP/IP. And when he says to me me "Ok, set up a server so I can check if I see it" what am I supposed to say? I can't help a guy with a question about the tracker if I'm banned from it.
I'm good for Avara, I'm not a jackass to everyone on Avara. I don't come to these boards when I play Avara, I only come when I'm kept away from it.
I feel I'm acting a good deal more civil now than I was in the past. In my first post I said it was as cold as Cowboy's Ice Daggers. I don't really consider that a threatening tone. I'm not going around calling people idiots or morons. Perhaps my "sence" line was inappropriate, I'm sorry Vader. I'm trying to use logic now, I'm trying to present facts and being deemed a liar.
I've made 4 posts in this thread. A summary in reverse order:
1.Vader claimed a server without a present host is prone to crashings.
I responded and argued any public server is prone to crashings.
2. Dies Irae asked what the purpose of the MegaServer was
I responded and explained it let people know Avara was still being played - EVWeb for example
3. You, Taz, claimed I was lying about my MegaServer being destroyed
I responded and defined what a MegaServer was and how me being banned effectively destroyed it.
4. EVWeb asked when people were around
I responded and told him that there was still a small community and unfortunately some people choose to make only private servers. You asked me to answer people's questions, I was the first to respond to his post.
I put your AIM Screen name on my buddy list a long time ago but you've never been on. If you want to talk about this away from the board, fine. My screen name is TheEyebrow. I wouldn't mind getting on good terms with you. You were always very civil to me in the beginning of this whole ordeal and I respect you for that.
But I don't really know what you want from me. If you want me off the boards, it should be clear to you that telling me to grow up isn't going to work. The only thing that's kept me off the boards so far is unbanning me from Avara. If you truly do want me to answer questions on this board, I don't mind. I'm one of the only regular players left nowadays, I should be able to answer most anything.
So I don't know what you want. But there's one thing I want and that's to be unbanned. Since Andrew doesn't respond to my e-mails and doesn't sign on often himself, I figure there's only one way to get his attention and that's to come here and start my antics again. If you can think of a better way, go ahead tell me. I don't want to piss off people on this board, I just want to be unbanned.
And, not to be petty, but it only seems logical to me that quotation marks would still be considered a proper way of quoting remarks.

-Kisses to Andrew
Welch!-
I believe a number of the old players outright avoided your server.
