    How about everyone grow up, and start over. If it happens again, boot meet arse. End of story. No reason to drag this out.

    The real enemy here was the lies wrapped in lies, and that crap got shut down hard. Be happy people communally worked in many locations to expose a crook and made a complete ass out of every rebuttal at every turn until there was nowhere left to run with the name and funding pulled out from under them.

    All this talk about Mike Kennedy but you know, I had the pleasure of being shoved out of the way by him at California Extreme 2009. Not bragging, just saying.
    I had the pleasure of using the same bathroom stall in a McDonalds immediately after him one time in 2011. We said "sup" to each other.

    EBook just means it's in a format for reading on an ebook, like the Nook or Kindle.
    In the past, that meant all of these:

    These days, it pretty much means PDF, EPUB and CBR, all of which most readers can deal with easily.

    This. Nobody respond to anything they say, and they'll eventually give up and stop.

    What a debacle. I met Socal Mike at CAX 2009 and he seemed OK to me. That was back when gamegavel was just chase the chuck wagon IIRC. I wouldn't have expected a circus like this at the time, but one can never tell I guess.

    I do. Barring some insane new news where they try to revive this yet again, everything has been said on the subject, and it's devolved quickly.

    I don't really get why half of the topics that people ask to be locked are, honestly. Why not just not participate if things have gotten stale?

    Besides, I'm sure there's going to be relevant ripples and drama for weeks to come worth commenting on here.

    I'm more of the move it to Classic Discussions. I don't think the weird stuff coming from some folks is likely to follow it there. I doubt Flamdini has looked at any other thread on the site.

    Agreed. Leave it open for possible discussion down the road. This topic is a useful resource and shouldn't be locked so quickly.

    Actually more than what went into the real prototype. It's a bit sad when you think about it.

    That was pretty funny.

    This is the funniest thing I've read on these forums in years. I think I've got some decomposing Meseta around here somewhere for you...
