Is that some sort of joke post or is someone really that bad at spelling?

Could be worse. Could create a sad alter ego and spend ages posting as that person thinking its funny

I follow my local Newspaper and Police force on Facebook and the amount of people who talk like that - and think it’s normal..
Btw that Atari book you and Greyfox are working on when will it be released..

Just to explain theres a Sister Forum called Retro Canteen which was basically an unmoderated forum created by banned members from here.Crusty Starfish wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 6:02 pmShinobi wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 7:13 amIt’s a running joke between myself and a few friendsCrusty Starfish wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2019 7:46 pm

I was speaking to Greyfox on Facebook and asked him if Vulture would be freelancing. Long story short he said Ross/Vulture wasn’t writing as he wanted more professional writers who play/own the original hardware no emulation allowed ..
I probably misread his post and he meant you where a backer I had a habit of mid reading things.

Right! Ok, I kinda get it! So just to confirm, I don't personally know Greyfox and I am not an ex member Vulture.
It is good though if Greyfox can remember me as a backer! Like I said, I'm no Atari fanboy but I do like well done research.

Sorry about that as I was proofreading/editing my post you replied. It’s hard writing a coherent message on the phone when I can only see 2 lines. I’m sending you a pmCrusty Starfish wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 7:49 pmRight! Ok, I kinda get it! So just to confirm, I don't personally know Greyfox and I am not an ex member Vulture.

Did I miss something about the "other" forum? I didn't know most of the stuff I've read here. I must've joined up late or something.

Re: Is the forum in decline?
This all happened a couple of years ago and to be honest, it really needs to be put behind us. I strongly suspect that many of the banned members (you know, the ones who haven't already registered new accounts) probably have no desire to come back, and there's not going to be any change in the "no religion, no politics" rule.

^Pretty much that.

That's what confuses me, I use that "other" forum all the time. Your description of it sounds pretty accurate, none of the previous stuff I'm reading sounds right though.DPrinny wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2019 2:46 pm^Pretty much that.

I understand that some members may hold different opinions about events that have taken place elsewhere, but please don't use this forum to continue external drama. We're quite capable of making our own.
