the thing is he has a bunch of games he "said" he made but i found out that he just got them off the net. but everyone thinks he's a really good programer
a couple other people know hes a fake but haven't really told any one the thing is should I expose him or just let it be? |

I used to put my own name on stuff a bunch o years ago, and people would ask me if I made them, and I'd say, "no."
As long as he isn't releasing em on the net, he's really fine. |

Morgan Ultralisk Posted: 13 Dec 2004 13:20 GMT Total Posts: 321 | Chances are he's not really winning over anyone important, so eeh! And what arethe chances that you meet someone who's program you use? He might aswell say its his, becsue it'll never happen. I could put my name on Phoenix and pass it out, becasue I know I will never meet PAD...I can see how some people might be mad, but seriously come one...its a calculator progrma ;-) |
freddiespagheti Dragoon Posted: 13 Dec 2004 14:27 GMT Total Posts: 63 | yeah i guess ill let it go but even if the chances are extremely small i declare i am nbot responsible for not stopping him before its too late |

gunman167 Marine Posted: 13 Dec 2004 21:01 GMT Total Posts: 24 | not blackmail, just chuck the guy's calc off a very tall building, then if that doesn't work, throw him off too. |
TI Freak Probe Posted: 14 Dec 2004 08:45 GMT Total Posts: Edit | LOL. One of those has got too...
Someone had taken my Age of Darkness game, Renamed it Golden Sun, and posted it at ticalc.org. He didn't change the name of any of the game files, put in the prog description that I stole it from him (though mine had been on ticalc.org for over a year) and just randomly did stuff like that.
Since this guy isn't doing it yet, then I would say leave him be, though you should tell him that some people are protective, so he should be carefull...

Morgan Ultralisk Posted: 14 Dec 2004 09:34 GMT Total Posts: 321 | If I still had the power to I would verify what you said and delete the file inqiestion, but I don't. If you send an email to filearchive@ticalc.org with a link to your original program and the jacked version by the other guy I am sure they will take care of it, at least they should. |
TI Freak Probe Posted: 14 Dec 2004 10:16 GMT Total Posts: Edit | It already has been. This happened a few months ago. And surprisingly, Joey was the one who handled it... |
freddiespagheti Dragoon Posted: 14 Dec 2004 12:41 GMT Total Posts: 63 | well i just found out he got his calculator taken away by his parents because he didnt need it for school yet and he was almost always playing on it so i dont think it matters anymore
oh and blackmailing is EVIL
