    Why?

  • I'd be careful of George Bum, he's not as nice as you may think...

  • Good post ranma_simon ! I've bought 2 copies of each of the three titles released so far and they were delivered very quickly and the quality is great. I've now pre-ordered a copy of the limited version of "The Dark". I wasn't even a great fan of the game personally but I think supporting George in this endeavour is a good thing and I'm a sucker for a limited product !

    I'm not sure what the people above are referring to but George is a funny and courteous guy and is doing a great thing for the speccy community here. I know he has his detractors and has had some disagreements with people online but I think that says perhaps more about the mindset of some members of the community than it does about George, in all honesty. I've known him on youtube for 3 years or so and I met him in person earlier this year (I also live in Spain, although some distance from George) and him and his dad are a really good laugh, tbh. For someone who is disabled he has a really good outlook on the world and is trying to do his best and I think it's a bit unreasonable that people on here are looking to immediately rubbish and put down the efforts of others for no reason other than wanting to see them fail. That's a bit sad, really.
  • I've seen how he treats people who disagree with him and it's not nice.

  • Do two wrongs make a right ? It seems you disagree with how George is and you are choosing to belittle and rubbish his efforts online, no ? I would say that trying to derail an endeavour that is only a plus for the community is not very 'nice', either. Try to be positive, there's no need to be like this about someone else doing a good thing :-) It's easy to criticise and spread bad rumours online, had hoped that this sort of thing didn't go on in the speccy scene :-(
  • Please point out where I have belittled or rubbished his efforts and i will gladly apologise...
    I wanna tell you a story 'bout a woman I know...
  • Well, posting defamatory comments here. "he's not as nice as you may think" on a post that's about a business venture the man is involved in is, in this situation, effectively belittling and basically casts his efforts in a bad light. It's not a positive comment, anyway, and is needless. You're throwing shade on someone who is trying to do something good for the community for no real reason. Have you ever personally spoken to George or are you basing this opinion on community hearsay or the one side of something you've been privy to ? I just think these offhand character assassinations are not required here, sir, simple as that. The games are great, no complaints with the service and George is a very reasonable man. Also, it's a bit rich to cast stones when the chap isn't even here to defend himself, surely we're all a little more adult than that ?

    If people have nothing good to say about something, it's good to just say nothing at all. Spreading negativity is not a good thing to do and if you don't like how someone is doing something just move on until you find something you do like :-) I fail to see how putting out great games is a negative and surely anyone who is doing so shouldn't be shot down just for trying to do something constructive ? My 2p's worth, anyway ;-)

    Let's just be thankful there are great boxed titles coming out !
  • I base my opinion on George on what I've seen online of him, in both my capacity as admin and member on a number of different sites. I have seen personal messages from George to certain people which range from fairly crude to downright disgusting.
    He is not a member of this forum because he was quite vile.

    And yet again. YOU MR GEORGE BUM are banned.

    I don't know about personal messages and I don't know about the controversy related to that guy in this forum, BUT this is about releasing Spectrum games in a physical format, which is a nice thing for the Speccy community, so that's something to encourage and appreciate.

    I surely don't like to read about how "vile" a person is in reference to personal messages. Let's just say that WoS moderation considered those messages inappropriate and banned him, and that's it. I don't think that publicly attacking a person that cannot defend himself in the same public forum, in such a personal way, is fair.

    "Vile"? "Downright disgusting"? Moderation should be more aseptic.
    Let's not belittle WOS making it a place for smearing people and consequently devalue good Speccy initiatives.

    This is my opinion about what I'm reading here, and I won't return on the matter.

    Let's just play Spectrum games.

  • I disagree, people should know the type of person they're dealing with. We get slaughtered if we withhold information yet get slaughtered when we're open and transparent, we can't win!!

    There was no attack on him as such just a comment on how he treated people who disagreed with him. The terms "vile" and "downright disgusting" were in direct reference to messages he sent to other members of this forum (and other forums) and not a generalisation of his character.

    I have absolutely no problem with his venture into selling Spectrum games, good luck to him but he does need to work on his social skills if he wants to succeed.

    Would you be taking the same attitude if a member had posted that George had been sending inappropriate messages to people rather than a mod posting it? I think not.

  • In all the time the forums have been up - in all forms, we have banned a total of 33 people. Most of these are spammers that got through our checks. Looking at the ID's and activity, I can see 5 people that were proper members. So, despite the rumours that we swing the ban hammer to quickly, that's roughly 1 every 3 years.

    So, we don't take banning people lightly, and to permanently ban someone is serious to us.

I don't think that publicly attacking a person that cannot defend himself in the same public forum, in such a personal way, is fair.

    He was here to defend himself - the person we just banned was him - he re-applies with different id's 5 or 6 times a day and slipped through this time. The messages he has sent, and the videos he advertises on his site with commentaries about other WoS members are disgusting, and the people of this forum deserve to know this.

  • Lee Fogarty is spreading lies and disinformation about me on the world of spectrum forums. Don't listen to him, he is a lying manbaby and is the sort of person who keeps the spectrum community in the doldrums. He is a miserable liar and a manchild who chooses to be offended at everything in the world that doesn't fit into his childish, ring-fenced view of how things should be. Also this "Karingal" character, too, whoever he is, is a subhuman sneak who has probably spent his life hiding behind his puritan mothers skirt tails ! They banned a loyal bummer yesterday (before claiming it was me) and have gone on to say I try to rejoin that forum 4-5 times a day !?!? I think I have better things to do with my time and, as usual, this is another fantastical concoction. If they can prove that I have tried to join 4-5 times a day I will, seriously, put up a youtube video of me eating my own hand !
    I would also love to see these "vile" private messages that I have sent (I have never sent any such thing)
    I am quite angry about the lies these people are spreading ! It is for this reason I started my own site and my own gaming label as I don't think the ZX Spectrum community is well served by being helmed by these bitter, social justice warrior twats.
    I am looking into starting my own forum. The ZX Spectrum deserves better than this !

    Let's just play Spectrum games.

    When I've started the thread...never thought to create a case like these!!!

    Well I'm on Sinclair Stuff since 1983...in particular with the SPeccy where I've spent 10 days of my ilfe (1983 to 1993) searching and finding all kind of titles for him.

    Now that the Vintage market is going and much better every day I love that someone like George, or whatever guy in the world, can publish on cassette tapes some new titles for the Speccy.

    I've supported all the Spanish guys, Matranet, Monument, Retroworks and I will support Bum Label because for me is a good cause.

    We have talked about RWAP (Rich Mellor) recently on a Spanish forum about his work on publish QL stuff and the rights for do it but I was never banned for it because we are just talking :-)

    Really sad to read about all that things about people that are doing something or less special for Sinclair brand.

  • Well you all should know about him and me I mean I did make a video about it.



    I am wondering if he has any legal rights to producing these games at all and if not does the developers know about this.

    If its all OK for him to do this then I can only say good luck to him as he is pushing new games onto cassette for a good price.

    As for his video's, well they are not for me as I find them very childish and its like a little kid constantly saying teh word "bum" over and over. Its funny at first but when its milked like a dairy cow it becomes the same old thing. I am sure he says something about mine as I know he dont like them either.

    The main people you should watch out for is George but his "bummers" as they will hound you in any way they can if you do anything to George like ban him from your forum and group. If they were any kind of fan of his they would respect him to leave those people alone, but it dont happen sadly.
  • You wouldn't get banned for defending George, we've just seen a different side which he doesn't show publically.

    You're wasting time

    So, despite the rumours that we swing the ban hammer to quickly, that's roughly 1 every 3 years.

    Or more exactly, 2/5 this year
  • edited June 2016
    Only 2 in one year is still extremely low, I've seen forums where they're banning people on almost a weekly basis.
    It shows WoS to be far more tolerant than people would imagine.

    Well I really hope so but I'm defending no one: simply told that who produce something concrete have my respect.

    I don't want to enter in other people problems and details, just saying that I hope the Spectrum community will be more "united" because we all need it.

    Best regards.

    As I said earlier I've no problem with him producing physical Spectrum games, in fact good luck to him and hope he succeeds, it's good for the Spectrum community. It's just the other side of him which is unnecessary.

    Yo Morcar! theres is a strange lapse between the chat messages, anyway he shouldn't have taken so much offence because of the lung comment and say in public hey see what this guy told me about my lungs. I don't think you mocked his lungs, it was just a sort of parting comment, nit nice though mentioning his balls and lungs in the same sentence. Anyway what's that about bullying people on internet, George?
    About ranma_simon, man you've been asking people for their ql software in order to sell it and there has been a strange anonymous copyright denounce to the forum host because of some download links with ql software. Your intentions and rwap's are not clear to me. Yo ask for material with promises of sharing the stuff and then intimidate the same users making claims about having distribution rights which are very doubtful imo. Meh

    Well you know that QL have a lot of MIA's and so the project is for preserve.

    Rich, and others not only him, have the rights for make it public a day.

    Some author have also lost his programs too because are not preserved, so we are trying to find all possible things and the publish all that is possible.

    Our Italian preservation program is totally different from the Rich one: we are preserving all in original format, like TZX for the Speccy, so on MDV and IMG formats (original dumps with original protections too) and we are trying to make it available a day not only for Q-emuLator but also for the Real QL on MD too.

    So all the contributers have his stuff dumped and restored because, you know, Md's are not so reliable after 30 years (and not so bad too) and we help all that wants back his stuff to have a backup too for free.

    In 2 years we have preserved more than 500 titles and we are working 2/3 hours per day on it: in the near future will be a complete list and all the free stuff downloadable.

    Naturally most of this original stuff was mine: I've more than 150 original boxes and more that 500 original md's buyed everywhere.

    So I'm the first one that...put his stuff and let it available for future use.

    The problem on QL scene is that the people who work on his programs is also producing some new stuff or simply have the rights, and so we need to ask for publish all his stuff naturally.

    Rich have done a differente process: He found all in cracked format (or cracked after) for use it on emulators and after produce some Disk Compilations for let people play on the Real QL the stuff that can't be found because was on MD's and so with sponges problems.

    And he have the rights to do it.

    My intentions is simply to preserve: the anonymous denounce was not done from Rich and naturally not from me (I've not the rights) but seem that many other QL "righters" have seen some of his programs online illegally.

    I was signed on that forum and in other Spanish too and I've simply tried to explain that If someone have the rights can ask to remove all links in sites were the programs are hosted.

    The same that was done in the past for the Sam Coupe from Quazar and then before the RARE guys on WOS, nothing strange or new.
