Neo Geo should stay, it was rare but important then and it's rare but important now. Yeah it's unusual but it's a legitimate console with some great games and sold a decent, if not great amount.
Because there is some rotten apples in the section it shouldn't disappear. I have Neo Geo consoles AES and MVS and I prefer talk here than go to the NG forums and you know which I'm talking about.
To be honest, I'm gathering information with a former SNK worker and he heard the name of the man about 2 years ago, he said to me that people at SNK never knew him. I'm not 100% sure that he's the person he claims to be so I won't point fingers yet but as we know we have a member here that lives nearby Playmore today. Let's hope we can clear this up.
Unfortunately I see this happening on a lot of the forums I frequent, it's not just here. Some of my favourite sites, like you said, were my homepage, one's I frequented hourly etc.., are now just pissing rings for immature childish morons. I have really started to notice it in the last year and a half. What is it? I don't know, but I don't like it either.
You and I may see through his shit, but I'm not sure if the rest of Assembler does or not and that's what makes me uneasy. Going way back to 2003 there's this thread on him on the Neo Geo Forums Googling his name might bring up other things too. http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showt...-Dakis-Story-%96-The-Definitive-Retrospective http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showt...-NGF-get-raided-by-the-police-a-few-years-ago Apprenlty from what I've heard his whole scheme was to Buy up every US copy of certian neo geo games Destory the inserts and make his own, then resell them. I'm not sure if he converted carts into AES or MVS I haven't gathered that much. I used to frequent the Neo Geo Forums myself and I haven't heard anything decent said about the man, and let me also state that in my experience most of the Neo Geo Community are assholes like childish 12 year old assholes north of 30 for for Dion to take the crown of king Neo Geo douche, that's really saying something. The Neo Geo Community is 99.9% the reason I am not an MVS owner.
That's funny considering you were nominated as one of The most hated members of the N-G forums EVER! I'd take anything you hear over there with a pinch of salt. I'm glad our neck of the woods isn't as bad, which is another good reason not to see our barely used Neo Geo subforum go.
I took a look at GoH's threads on N-G.com out of morbid curiosity, and while they were really bad, the responses were so fucking unfunny the only place where you'll see unfunny people trying as desperately to be funny is a Family Guy writers' meeting. teh ghey
Ugh, not this shit again. Let's look at the facts: SNK was a large, multi-national corporation with many departments. Your guy could have been a programmer. Why would he deal with Dion - a buyer? SNK Playmore is NOT SNK. It's a different company. People leave companies. I believe Dion only ever claimed to deal with SNK in Japan. Was your contact there? No? Well - that's why they haven't heard of him. Dion has/had artwork and prototype from SNK. FACT. He's shown us pictures. How did he get that, if not from SNK? Not wanting to say your source is full of shit, but... well... look at the whole thing with Tonk's reputable SNK source. Ha! You mean you're following the other sheep. See? Quoting NG.com as gospel. Pathetic. Lol, suure! Yup, and then they decided you were a complete arsehole, too. OK guys, why are you dragging this thread off topic YET AGAIN?! The reason the Neo Geo thread has gone to shit is because of people like you BRINGING DION UP IN EVERY FUCKING THREAD! It has been said countless times, by myself, by mods and by Kevin. STOP TALKING ABOUT THE GUY TO TAKE THREADS OFF TOPIC! And veggav, it was you derailing the AE3 topic with your countless questions about Dion. You were told to go and post in the NGF thread and ONLY the NGF thread if you had something to say about Dion. Veggav, I have nothing against you - but YOU made this thread, and the subject was should we take the section offline. Why would you derail your own thread by bringing up Dion? Let's keep this on topic. My vote would have been no, it should not be closed - had you decided to actually post a poll, which you're quite entitled to do, rather than make snide digs at Kevin and the way he runs the forum. And yes, it's HIS forum, his choice!
I'll redo my post, here are the court papers, found it: http://web.archive.org/web/20051125131625/http://www.snkplaymore.jp/information/img/ngf.pdf http://web.archive.org/web/20051125131625/http://www.snkplaymore.jp/information/img/tro.pdf And here's the agreement with SNK Playmore (which Dion posts all the time): http://web.archive.org/web/20050208171535/http://www.snkplaymore.jp/information/en_press15.html So: 1. Irritating Maze is not on the list, that version he's selling is counterfeit 2. The agreement only authorized redoing the inserts. Games marked as arcade only should keep arcade only. He's not authorized to do what he claims to be. To me that's a scam, that guy is dangerous and he keep posting threads that exist elsewhere here. Like the KOF2000 verification, that's only advertising to sell his products. He's only using this forum to gather more money. The Aero Fighter 3 thread got closed before I did 2 posts of questions in a 10+ page thread. But as I said it's not only about Dion, it's because the attacks this forum is getting lately and the amount of fight that happens in the section. And as we can see it happens all the time people talk about NeoGeo just look above. I'll add that all I did was throwing an idea to improve the relationship of the users on this forum. It seems that a few people agree with me, some people don't and some other users don't know what I'm talking about. So that's it, leave it as it is, I just expressed my concern.
And again I am letting you know that is not the case at all. He is spamming us over his failed App that we banned him for many time months ago. His current spaz is because he's got a deeper hatred for NeoGeo.com. Even if we didn't' have a NG forum he would have been here spamming us with the same crap.
Look up Bemanisuperstar.... You will be horrified and that's what I used to be before I undertook anxiety treatment. But I digress.
Dion mentioned numerous times that some titles are left of the list out of error. Seriously man, read the fucking threads, I'm impartial to the guy but I understand what he says.
Dude, as you are obviously too stubborn to listen to anyone, or the meaning of what Kev (and others) said to you has been lost in translation, I'll spell it out for you. ASSEMbler asked you not to post about Dion ANYWHERE except for the NGF thread. It is ASSEMbler's forum. Respect his wishes and do as he says. You blatantly ignored what ASSEMbler said, and what I said, and continue to talk about Dion in this thread. This thread is NOT the NGF thread. This is: http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/showthread.php?31774-NGF-history-and-snk-buyout-details As you seem incapable of following these instructions, here it is put as simply as I can: DO NOT POST ABOUT DION ANYWHERE ON THIS FORUM EXCEPT THE NGF THREAD LINKED ABOVE. I appreciate your native language is not English, and I admire you for participating on an English forum. I'd not do as well on a Portuguese forum! I completely understand that a language barrier may exist that makes things difficult to understand, but I hope this is clear enough for you.
You know what? I deleted my reply. I won't post what I think about the man and he using this forum for scam. To me it's just too much hypocrisy you go over Yakumo and Assembler for the Yahoo Auction drama and let the guy play around here. You want it, just let it roll. Be happy but I would like to request his selling deleted from MY THREAD of Irritating Maze. It's not fair he selling his copies of games under the FREE ROM THAT I RELEASED. Did my foreign english sound right for you?
Your English is not 100% perfect, but it is understandable with zero problems. It's very good English - I know English people with worse English! lol. Good job I'm not seeing Dion EVER listing a sale on this board - specifically not in your Irritating Maze thread. I'm sorry - Dion never has used this forum for scamming people. He's stated that he no longer sells. The only thing he linked to in your thread was his site's PRICE GUIDE. That's not a sale thread, it's a guide to what they think the games are WORTH!
This means: "PM because I can sell another copy that I can build in matter of an hour". This is in the thread YOU quoted. So I'm replying to what YOU are saying. Can't explain it without showing you the problem.
