Can't believe I'm the first one to think of it, but yeah, checked out Martin Nathell (4 Viewers)

You know, one has to consider how smart it is banning a staff member of several of Martin's sites for absolutely no reason. ;)

Goatse mirror aside the only thing you have to worry about is April the 1st where he will no doubt transform you into a Manchester United fanclub.

Oh. My. God!

I'm not worried at all about my acc, creating a new isn't that hard. But they doesn't seem to happy about this site.

Oh and I gave him my adress if he wants to come and kick my ass. :D

..you're doing him no favours, friend. He's already in many people's bad books here due to the fact he's not had the courtesy to show up and claim his 'prize'.
You throwing these idle threats around are not helping.
May I remind you, this sale is not yet finalised? ";)"

1. Don't come in here without identifying yourself in any way and start making threats towards the members of this forum.

2. You weren't banned for no reason. In your 2 posts in the forum, you barged in here telling us what "we" (sic) were planning to do with this website, and wrote an equally useless post about dwarf porn, and until Martin Nathell posts new rules for the forum contrary to the current ones which do not allow sexual content, the grounds for your banning will be legitimate.

3. If you intend to interact with the members of this forum, do so in a respectful manner, knowing that you're considered an outsider here, regardless of your status in any other website.

You guys really take things far too seriously, it's not healthy. Martin is a extremely busy person in real life and has a lot to tend to. Your site will be up and running still regardless of if Martin pops in to say hello which he will eventually do. Ignore the banter over and Emutalk because thats all it is, we like to poke fun at people. The "threats" were in fact attempts at light hearted humour which are just ruined when you have to explain that.

Anyway Martin is a extremely friendly, and in some cases too friendly person. So you have nothing to worry about regarding this site.

You have to understand; this site has been around for 5 years under the care of an owner who has put a considerable amount of time and money into it. Everyone was a bit nervous when it was revealed that the new owner was somebody who:

a) hadn't written a single post in the forum
b) only started following Juventus very recently.

As you can imagine, the whole community is a bit edgy at the moment, especially since Mr Nathell has yet to grace us with his presence. So you have to understand that despite the fact that nobody believed that Martin was planning to screw this site over, your unexpected appearance (whoever you are) along with the material in your posts was hardly the most appropriate thing in the situation.

In any case, I apologise if I acted too rashly in banning you; we've had a lot of incidents over the years of people creating accounts just to stir trouble and annoy everyone, and you have to admit that it wouldn't have been difficult to draw the conclusion that you were doing the same thing.

In that case I'm glad. If you knew anything about this place, you'd know that we take poking fun at people to extremes... to the extent, in fact, that people break down and leave the forums for indefinite periods of time :howler:

That's good to hear. If you happen to be in contact with him, could you politely ask him to get his ass down here just to relieve some tension!? :)

Couldn't hurt to tell us a bit about yourself either; how you found the site, what Martin has said about it, which sites you're a staff member of etc.

I understand you feel nervous about this, I believe it is just that we have known Martin for so long that we can't understand the tension at the moment. I'm a newsposter at the Emulation64 website, moderator at Emutalk and I worked on Stylefone when we were first uploading far too many ringtones and backgrounds. Aside from my flaming on Emutalk which people have probably noticed by now I'm actually a fairly nice person myself. ;)

As I mentioned on Emutalk, a good chance of catching Martin would be to hop into #emulation64 on Efnet as he ocassionally jumps in to check up on things. If I catch him I'll send him this way.

Thanks for the intro; I haven't had a chance to have a proper look at the Emu64 forums myself, but I'll make sure I poke around and see what kind of person Martin is, though if you assure me that he's a nice guy, I've no reason not to believe you (apart from the fact that your Juventus relationship is goatse, of course :D)

oh btw, in my defence, it's 3am here and I was just about to go to sleep, which probably contributed to your first account being banned.... oops! :angel:

nah, he's not gonna get himself banned over that :)

Bah, pessimism takes too much effort.. iI think Martin II will be a top bloke and we'll all get alone fine. Hopefully the visuals will get a bit of an overhaul, though we've all come to love the oldschool outdated design in this place :)

I'd love to help out in any way I can with making this place look a bit spiffier

dammit, I just read the thread over at emutalk, and I feel like a bit of a fool now for over-reacting to vampireuk's grand entrance :wallbang:

time to sleep :yawn:

Finally I see some of you have loosened those collar's! You must understand that I only ever intended to post on hear as I felt obliged to stand up for Marty whilst you guys were ripping into him. But now that's stopped, I thank you and wish you all the best for the future.

Oh, and on behalf of the idiots at ET.net: welcome to the network. ;)

Hope you dont really class that as ripping into him... pretty tame as it goes

Though the fact is it would have all been avoided if martin had the decency to show the members of juventuz a little bit of common courtesy by dropping in to introduce himself!

Not really too much to ask...
