We are a force that is crippled, as lovers of fiction we are disrespected. We are not loved in any manor at all. The people who wields the sword, laughs at us. They think we are a joke, because they can use the sword against us, because we lack the knowledge of the sword. They even use the pen and pass laws, we keep supporting them.
Every single vote or capitalism is a means of control. They do not us to work together my fellow users. They want us to be happy people who leads empty lives. They hire us and then fire us, when ready. They make a joke out of our wants and needs.

This forum is turning into a David Lynch movie.

I think It has already.

Haha! He's lost it! I dunno what to believe with this guy, but he definitely jumped the shark with the whole "Woe is me, the Feds raided my home, took my PC - but all my porn was for reference material, I swear!" stuff... He was mildly amusing/entertaining and seemingly harmless at first, but the shtick's gotten old/tired.

Yippy! I ignored my first member today!
Maybe I need a SIL like FrozenNinnyTears.

If I parse this post down to its basic elements...I have a hard time disagreeing with much of it. I wouldn't have worded it that way though, of course.

Actually, I took a Tai Chi Sword class for two years, so I'll be OK. The rest of y'all are f*cked.

Translated to truthfully convey what he really meant:
MAMBLA is a force that is crippled, as lovers of kiddie porn we are disrespected. We are not loved in any manor at all. The people who protect the children, laughs at us. They know we are a joke, because they can use the law against us, because we lack the control of the castraited. They even use the pen and pass moar laws, we keep in hiding.
Every single child tucked away safe from us is a means of control. They do not want us to work together my fellow kid touchers. They want us to be sad pedos who lead empty lives. They hire us to mop school floors and then fire us when we approach teh children, when ready to show them our special love. They make a joke out of our wants and needs. Our needs are artistic. The child porn I had on mah hard drives was artistic, for artistic needs. Pwease give it back, pwease... :cry:

As funny as some of this clowns antics are, honestly I don't pay attention to half his post, but that one thread he started in FS basically all but admitting he's a pedophile, before deleting his post, well... lets just say "I'm too hot and too tired to continue" trying to make out this guys shit anymore. He's a joke for sure, but hes not funny at all anymore.

too true prof

I think he was shocked some of us were actually enjoying his antics, so he went to that next level to make sure he stayed hated by everyone.

I don't look at Fighting Street, so I'm glad you mentioned this.

Yes. I think he is at least partially motivated by generating "shock value" in his posts.
-
Is he really just trying to be funny or generate shock value? Because honestly his posts read like he's suffering from schizophrenia and he's off his meds.

I had been giving him the benefit-of-doubt, but this certainly puts things into perspective.
(1) His antics may not be a ruse. He is unbalanced.
(2) His antics are a ruse, and he has built a career of trolling.
(3) I wasted a few moments of my life reading a few sentence fragments he wrote.
-
I don't really see what the big deal is. His posts don't have any impact on my life other than that I enjoy reading them. If he were to somehow prey upon members here, that would be another issue, but nobody takes him seriously.
EDIT: hmmm..I just read Professorson's post in FS and he makes some good points. I didn't really know what Regalsin confessed in his OP, but it sounds like time for him to move along.

wow............just wow

Regal is starting to become the guy from Red Letter Media, only there's a chance that this isn't all just an act...

I don't read fighting street, and frankly I'm way to busy to go tracking down the dudes internet history, so unless someone makes it a bit easier for the casual researcher like myself to under stand his supposed pedophile tendencies, I guess I'm just never going to know. Thats really not an accusation I can just believe on site.
As for this Wiki, honestly, I have been wondering for some time if something like this didn't already exist given how crazy the guy is, but I question some of this stuff. Many people, just on this forum alone, for example, simply CAN'T HANDLE the not-quite-straightforward way the guy talks. They actually get angry at what seems to be mild wackiness, frankly, I can't relate. I assume that on other forums, you know, the ones where topics are constantly being moved and locked and people get banned every day, the people are going to be way less tolerant.
I do vaguely remember some semi-racist stuff coming out of him a some point, but this Wiki describes him as both anti-semitic and "anti-zionist". Well, there is a huge difference between those two things. Anti-semitism is bullshit, anti-Zionism, depending on how far you take it of course, is a pretty mainstream. Most of the world basically falls into that camp, statistically speaking. Only Israel themselves and the more conservative Americans are without criticism of Israel. So, again, the burden of proof falls upon the accuser in this case. If he's talking about firing up the Jew furnaces again then f*ck him all to hell, but I'd be the first to call Ariel Sharon a genocidal piece of terrorist shit, because exactly what he is/was, and worse.
-
The important thing here was that he admitted to taking part in and being busted for illegal acts, which evidently amounted to child porn and I guess other seemingly strange things, before deciding to delete the post content. I could care less if his average harmless everyday post is unreadable. He wasn't a real concern until the pedobear shit. Considering what else had been said about him prior on that other site about him being a pedo, I am inclined to believe that part about him if nothing else.

wierd.

It's not that I would be surprised if he was a pedophile. That would shock me not even slightly. From what I can see pedorats make up about %40 of the population, all they need is just that little spark to put them in action. In fact, if he does have a sex offendor's record, I'm SURE he's not the only one here that does. The creaps are just about everywhere. I do take issue with assumptions though. I've been "busted for illegal acts" and I'd done some "other weird stuff" too, but WTF does that even mean?
For one thing, I have a hard time even imagining this guy saying something like "the cops took my kiddie porn" and anyone actually being able to understand WTF he was even saying! And are we talking about actual kiddie porn or H doujin wank stuff? I ask this not because I'm defending Pokemon Chicks With Dicks and Friends (that stuff is nasty) but if that's the stuff he's into I have zero doubt in my mind that other people here dig that shit as well. Comiket does draw 100,000 people anually, after all.
Labeling someone a child predator is a big deal, that's all I'm saying. I'm not going to just go with someone else's 4th hand account, especially considering how people tend to dog pile on this guy.
-
I highly doubt a pedophile would pop into a public forum spouting his mantra to anyone that will listen. I also doubt a so called eccentric brilliant artist would refer to his work as "child porn". At best he's desperate for attention, at worst he's everything he says he is. Whatever he is, only a disturbed person would find this funny or appropriate. Zeta, you have me divided severely here. On one hand I agree with you that jumping to assumptions based only one whats written without proof is not good. At the same time, what he's saying is naturally gonna cause controversy and make people question his sanity at least. You also have your prejudice's based on a few of your comments and handling of recent members. You sandbagged storino for a far less offense and now your telling people to give this guy the benefit of the doubt. very sketchy if you ask me.

Well, he did. Whether or not it's true is another story.

Nobody was calling Storio a pedophile.
-
Btw, does no one have a copy of RegalSyn's supposed admission of guilt?
-
maybe not, but regal has all but admitted to such behavior regardless if he's lying or not. Remember, no one came out and said that about regal, he started this himself. Why does it surprise you that people would be turned off by this kind of behavior? As far as assumptions go saying that 40% of the population are pedo's with any ounce of proof is really going deep on the wackyiness don't you think?

Again, what did he say? I am NOT defending the guy, I don't know enough about the situation to do that. I'm just saying that you really can't play around with those sorts of labels (unless it's funny). And Michael Helgeson pretty much thinks everyone is a criminal so his conjecture isnt relevant at all without evidence.
So, seriously, what did the guy say?
As for my %40 estimation, that was an exaggeration but if you've ever spent any time at all with abused kids, or with lawyers, cops, judges, or just really paid attention to the local crime section in the news paper you would be revolted by the amount of sexual abuse that goes on. If you live in a town of at least 50,000 people go hang out in the district court house and listen to the sorts of cases that go through there every day. If you can go a month without seeing a guy that raped his own kid I'd be very surprised. The catholic church alone has racked up litterally TENS OF THOUSANDS of abuse cases in just the last 30-40 years, and those are the "holy" guys! Raping children is, statistically speaking, a rather mainstream pursuit. I'm sure more people have raped kids than have, say, gone skydiving, or swam with whales, no question.

Quote of the day! Unfortunately, it's probably true.
-
He said the cops stormed the place and took his kiddie porn, harddrives, "pornographic" art, etc, that he kept on downloading to no end because he was young and naive and couldn't help himself and whatever else. Are you so f*cking dense that you are going to ignore the fact we have already said what he said? How many members here do you need to confirm the same thing before you finally get it? 5, 10, 20? Can we quote it word for word? No. I cant do time travel to appease the great Zetas demand of proof because he was so damn late to the show. The joke deleted his post, which was huge I might add, before anyone could quote it. If you missed it, too bad for you. Tha-tha-tha That's All, Folks!
-
Yeah Zeta. His post was really out there, and defending his right to masturbate to all these images he downloaded, included child porn. It was sickening. :( I am kinda glad the sicko deleted it actually.
-
I was raised on Troma and gangsta rap. I am not offended by anything.
...and RegalSin's post offended me. Trust me, no one is over-exaggerating. I fear him remaining on this site will result in some probe of the whole PCE universe. Get that guy outta here.
-
So, seriously, what did the guy say?
I didn't screen cap it, so this is purely from memory. For whatever that's worth. Regal indicated that his residence had been raided by some branch of law enforcement. He explained that he had downloaded pictures of girls that were underage, but he was also underage at the time. He continued to vaguely explain that he kept "downloading". I don't think he specified what. He explained that the pictures he had were for reference for his artwork.
That's how I remember it. I don't know if that seems tame or not, but I will say that the last place I'd want to find myself is the wrong side of a child porn investigation. I wouldn't f*ck around with that at all. I'd ban Regal outright for that post.
-
Thanks Sadler for actually attempting to say more than "just trust me". Details are still a bit vague though (since its RegalSyn we are talking about that's probably not going to change) but at least it's something.
Logically though the next question would be: if he's so bad, and he already has a history with the cops, then...it seems like they'd just keep at him. I mean, they raided the guys house and then just got bored and gave up?
I though RegalSyn was at least as old as me, btw, but a lot crazier and probably Filipino. Are we now under the impression that he was at least underage at some point in the history of usenet?
-
Zeta, I have not walked a mile in your shoes, and i'm betting you have seen things that would stand my hair up on end. Because of that I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. I agree we can't just throw labels around all willy nilly. I do however have problems with your tendency to overstate things when your trying to make a point. I also don't think it was fair of you to blast storino while seemingly defending this guy. If i'm missing the point your trying to make i'm sorry, its not on purpose. I just don't see how you can blatantly overlook his statements and act as if its not as bad as it sounds. I don't know if your playing the devils advocate or not. Sometimes i get the feeling if we put a green mountain dew can in front of your face, you would try to convince us its blue, all the while acting shocked that we don't see why.

No, you basically summed him up nicely. Thats been Zeta for years now. And yeah, he had his nose way way too far up Storinos ass, if for no other reason then just because he did not know where else to stick it it seemed like.
-
I also don't think it was fair of you to blast storino while seemingly defending this guy.
I wouldn't say Zeta's questions qualify as "defending" Regalsin, he's just slowing things down and opening up discussion. A lot of us missed the OP. Accusations were fast and the details were vague. Thanks Professorson and Sadler for recalling as much as possible. Zeta's right that we should take the author of that wiki with a grain of salt, as anyone who dares criticize Israeli policy tends to be immediately labeled an anti-semite and smeared to the best of the defender's ability.
Regardless, the verdict seems to be that RS watches or watched child porn and that's pretty f*cked up.
-
You did not read what i have said. I understand that he is not directly defending him, but he's putting alot of effort into defending the point. He made no effort at all with storino who's guilty of considerably less. If you missed the original post, then go back and read it so you can make a more qualified statement. i'm not trying to be rude but the guy came in here saying they were raiding his house and taking his child porn and he wanted it back. After all there are two threads he made on this matter, not just this one. No one rendered verdict on him, nor have i written him off. However, i find it hard to understand that you and Zeta don't get the gravity of his actions. Its not everyday that someone makes the statements he has made, let alone in a public forum with people he does not know. Surely the situation is so absurd that you have to question how true it may be. None the less, your mental faculties have to be completely hosed to behave in the way he is behaving. If he wanted attention why child porn. why not something far less offensive. I'm gonna agree to disagree with your standpoint. But as Paul said, i'm attacking the point, not the person. I hope you understand the difference.

he claimed he downloaded it when he was 11
is 27 now
had it on his PC because his current PC died forcing him to use his old PC.
some of the porn he didnt know the source of as the machine was found on the side of the road, but he had installed a bunch of drives to get it running

Cause we all know kiddie porn was ALL OVER the net 16 years ago, in all its 256 color glory. The way regal reads off anyway, he doesn't strike me as having been a 11 year old genius who mastered the nets and filled his hard drives full of illegal booty, considering he cant even formulate one coherent paragraph. If he got busted for having the stuff, I mean really got busted, then odds are he just spouted off here the exact same spin he told the cops, that he had the stuff for years, from before when he was a minor, hoping that will justify it. He probably also told the cops that he forgot it was all there still. Who knows, we weren't there. At any rate it now reads off like damage control from a deranged pedo.
Any new activity he probably blamed on hackers leeching off his wifi, just tossing his hands up in the air and claiming it wasn't him. That seems to be the excuse these days for anyone getting busted doing something online."oh thats not me, it was my ip, but someone leeched off my totally unsecure wifi". :roll: Odds are, if he really was collecting kiddie porn, hes been doing it more likely for, or within, the past 8-10 years if anything. And according to him, its not like he stopped. They came to his home because he was tracked doing something or another illegal he said. Joke or not, he came here and basically said he was busted for being a pedobear and crap. At any rate, he is clearly getting what he wants, attention. 3-4 page long threads all about him. Its like Dave, but less intriguing or funny.
-
Herc - I was saying that Regalsin's watching of child porn was f*cked up, not that our consensus on Regalsin was f*cked up. That last line was meant to be a pretty simple statement we all could agree on.
It should have read:
Regardless, the verdict seems to be that RS watches or watched child porn and that (the watching of child porn) is pretty f*cked up.
Anyway, the new information from Steve is interesting.
-
I think I agree with the point Prof is trying to make in his last post.
Regal has a little animated smiley in his sig eating popcorn. Whether he did what he says or not, I'm guessing he's sitting back and watching this forum go bananas about it, laughing all the while. Let's not drag this out. Either ban him (you'd get my vote) or drop it.

I was giving Storio shit for being an attention vampire wanker noob, which he absolutely f*cking is and and he proceeded to prove it by erasing his old posts and starting all sorts of new threads with vapid subjects. So in short, 1) he absolutely is what I accuse him of, and 2) what I accuse him of is really not all that significant. He probably doesn't even have to live in a group home anymore or have a cork on his fork. He might even have a job! I heard they were hiring down at the book recycling place.
What you are saying about RS 1) isn't just a minor personality flaw, its stuff that is internationally illegal and lands people in prison for decades and 2) is or isn't happening somewhere off this forum (thank God) so we have no written record of it, no proof, no understanding, no details.
Now can you see the difference between these situations? I seriously f*cking hope so. If I'm misunderstanding poor Storio then, really, how bad is that? But if RS isn't a practicing pedophile then its not very good to say that he is. Even if he had some run-in with the law, he's obviously not in prison currently so IMO he shouldn't be branded a criminal for life (even if he is insane for life).
And again, I guess I have to say this, I'm not defending the guy, I'm just wondering WTF scarred your guys' souls so deeply because I wasn't lucky/unlucky enough to read it before it was deleted. I guess I win this one! Victory in ignorance!
Which reminds me, not a day goes by that I don't hate post-facto post editing more than I did the day before. That bullshit is really the only thing that connects Storio and RS; they are both pussies who won't stand by what they say.
-
At any rate, he is clearly getting what he wants, attention. 3-4 page long threads all about him. Its like Dave, but less intriguing or funny.
Exactly. He's nothing but an attention whore troll, intentionally using piss poor writing sprinkled with sexist, racist, and now pedophiliac bs to get a rise out of people. It's a real mystery why he's tolerated and why so many people think he's "great".
-
I always thought his writing was intentional. No one in their right mind would write like that. Even someone that writes and speaks in another language, doesn't write stuff that bad in English. It's just now everybody pretty much knows. I'm just surprised some are tolerating it. [-(
-
Zeta, what you said this time made more sense to me. I don't know if you were having trouble getting it across, or if we were just to scarred as you put it. Either way I understand your point alot better. I still don't agree with all of it, but I do get it now.
For all i know the jokes on us. We have all argued so much over things regal has said and thier is no proof of any of it. He's probably sitting back sipping congac laughing his ass off for all i know. Its just hard for me to understand why someone would say such crazy stuff, and other seemingly not be all that bothered by it.
-
What I think is funny is that people want him banned for just claiming (on Fighting Street no less) to have downloaded kiddie pr0n, yet they didn't give a f*ck about the prior racist/sexist/off topic bullshit - a.k.a. stuff that's actually against the rules.
-
Well sometimes I can't understand a damn thing Regal says to even know it's racist/sexist or something else.
-
For all i know the jokes on us.
Yea, come troll a 90s video game console forum claiming to be a pedo, spout all kinda weird shit b4 then.. and seems he's done stuff like this before on a lot of other forums.
Yea...jokes on us.
-
Guys, Regal is practically a world famous troll. Everything he writes is just to get people riled up. Read any of his posts that he made on neo-geo.com, Sega-16.com ect. It's the same situation no matter what forum he's on.
The fact is, nothing good has ever come of this guy and whether he's actually insane/a pedophile is just more things to add to the pile.
If you don't want to ban RegalSin then you might as well let spambots make an account here.
-

I don't agree with this. The guy has dropped some real gems in the past.

Absolutely. Spambots are horrible. RegalSin has a chance of entertaining us every now and then.

As far as Regal's motives and psychology, I don't get the sense that this has been a charade or that he's sipping cognac, laughing at us.
1) No one in their right mind could invent his writing style. The guy clearly has special needs or trauma that impairs his ability to communicate.
2) If he were vying for attention or trying to get a rise out of people, he's sure not very good at it. He succeeded only in getting himself ignored and laughed at until the pedophilia post. Most of his posts exhibit a genuine (if bizarre) interest in politics, coding, and other issues larger than himself and getting attention.
3) If there's one thing an attention whore can never do, it's exercise restraint, and Regal's been pretty quiet since the whole fiasco. Real attention whores (Storino, Nintega, King of Games, Roy, etc) are never late to their own party. They appear like Beatlejuice the moment someone mentions their name and they never shut up. The thread explodes into twenty pages as they try to argue with us, edit their posts, pretend to be chipper and witty, and otherwise feed on their infamy. Regal on the other, seems to be feel regret - he immediately removed his post, he asked that everything he's written be deleted, he tried to write it off as performance art, and then he shut up. These are not the actions of an attention whore.
-
You make some very strong, very good points.
-
But that's his troll..talk crazy for a bit, then shut up. That's what he does.
Edit: he's an Internet loser that should b ignored.
-
Edit: he's an Internet loser that should b ignored.
Seriously, the only reason anyone wants to keep him around is because they like looking at a human car wreck!
The guy only posts in Google English and occasionally posts absence threads where he admits to collecting child porn (he's done the same thing in other forums), making a majority of the users here uncomfortable. Why is that not a good reason to ban him?
-
1) No one in their right mind could invent his writing style. The guy clearly has special needs or trauma that impairs his ability to communicate.
Care to explain the handful of posts written in more or less perfect English? Either he has a grasp of the English language or he doesn't.
2) If he were vying for attention or trying to get a rise out of people, he's sure not very good at it.
I don't know about that - it's just that he's good at garnering attention without being hated as much (you won't hear people describing Storino/Ninny/etc. as great), and you don't have to be the absolute best example (worst example?) of a troll to be considered a troll.
3) If there's one thing an attention whore can never do, it's exercise restraint, and Regal's been pretty quiet since the whole fiasco. Real attention whores (Storino, Nintega, King of Games, Roy, etc) are never late to their own party. They appear like Beatlejuice the moment someone mentions their name and they never shut up. The thread explodes into twenty pages as they try to argue with us, edit their posts, pretend to be chipper and witty, and otherwise feed on their infamy. Regal on the other, seems to be feel regret - he immediately removed his post, he asked that everything he's written be deleted, he tried to write it off as performance art, and then he shut up. These are not the actions of an attention whore.
Taking a more passive role does not negate the attention whoring. It's actually rather shrewd, as not responding to others comments will piss some people off for being ignored and lessens the chance of him getting worked up and saying something so far over the line that he gets banned.

Gogan hit the nail on the head. It seems that there are some that are just amused by his behavior regardless of its content. Does he deserve a "pass" just because he is regal being regal?
-
^^bingo
Which is why you jus ignore him. Much like he ignores everyone else
-
Care to explain the handful of posts written in more or less perfect English? Either he has a grasp of the English language or he doesn't.

Some of his shorter posts are well constructed, but, off the top of my head, I can't recall any successful attempts to clearly communicate complex or abstract ideas.
I'm open to the possibly that I'm wrong, but I don't believe Regal is a calculating mastermind who's been biding his time and pulling our strings for the last several months. I'm guessing he's probably had a shitty life, is somewhat feeble-minded, and spends too much time alone at the computer. He's misanthropic, but not lost to cynicism and still has an accurate moral compass on some issues (like globalization). He's a touch racist (like many people), but isn't socialized enough to disguise it. And, of course, his sexuality is confused and f*cked up, probably from something in his past, and he should see a shrink before he turns into a predator. Regardless, this is just what my gut tells me based on scant evidence and I'm not trying to make excuses for his actions. I may be wrong; he may be a total monster through and through and y'all have enough evidence to be entitled to that judgement.
So what are we going to do? If people want to ban him, go ahead and email Keranu. I could go either way. If pressed for a vote, I say this is his first and only strike before being thrown out. My reasoning is that he immediately removed the post, he seemed to express regret, and he's never gotten in a flame war or seriously insulted members before (which is more than I can claim). At any rate, the integrity of our forums is intact for the time being and the justice system is on to him in the long. If Regal is really a menace to the world at large, they'll sort things out. If Regal screws up here again, we have the tools to fix it.

At the end of the day, I don't really care because I don't spend much time reading any of the OT forums, but it's pretty easy to make a strong case for banning this guy. Either he's a pedophile and admitted it here, in which case he should be banned and his IP address should be reported to his local authorities just to make sure that the site's ass is covered, or he is making pedophile "jokes" as his latest technique to troll the forums, in which case he should be banned. That being said, as someone who primarily just reads the forums while keeping posting to a mimimum, I really don't give a f*ck if he gets banned. I generally just gloss over his posts when reading a thread anyway.
Parenthetically, I've always thought of this place as "Neo-Geo.com lite." They famously had a long-time member there murder someone, so it would be only fitting if one of ours turned out to be a pedobear.

^Agreed.
I know this is a relatively nice place, and people are trying to be understanding, but...
Let's say he's a sicko pedophile who's also posted racist shit and talked about kiddie pr0n.
OR
Let's say he's just doing it for attention.
Wouldn't BOTH of these things warrant a ban? Has Regal ever posted ANYTHING of value in these forums? Hell, has he posted a single coherent thought?
Either way, the dude's on my ignore list. But I know if I came to these forums as a relative noob and saw that shit, I'd run for the hills. Off with his head!
-
Fighting street is unmoderated. that i know of you can pretty much say what you what. Whatever comments regal made in fighting street cannot be held against him that i'm aware of. I'm also not aware that he has said anything here in chit chat that violates the rules either. There is no proof of anything regal is saying as offensive as it may be. I respect, but clearly disagree with a couple members opinions on this discussion. I also strongly dislike regals behavior, but nowhere have i called for a ban, nor do i think he has done enough to get banned. He is however mentally disturbed. You simply cannot make such comments in a public forum and not expect some kind of backlash as most people find such subject matter unacceptable. As one member stated, firing off this crap in a 90's video game forum is either a cruel joke or a blatant cry for help.
-
Also can't really get on regal for being racist, especially in fighting street. Shit, I remember when Fighting Street started there was a racist jokes thread. :shock: At any rate, most here ignore him, and his shit has been deleted. I do feel he's going to probably scare some new members away, but the rest of us that have been here the past year or longer know how he is and just tend to ignore him. If mods feel he's hurting the pcefx community in any way they can ban him. *talks into mic* Hello...mods? *tap tap* Is this thing on? *crickets*
-
I wouldn't worry too much about him scaring off new members. In fact, I think we should keep him around if we can prove he can actually do that.
Seriously, who is the most notable new member since RegalSyn joined? %90 of all new members are either dumpers or braggarts. f*ck em.
-
No ban is necessary. He's just an idiot. Troll or not. He'll get bored and move along. He seems to WANT to get banned everywhere. And has been at it for years. I really don t give a crap either way as I hav zero respect for him
-

That bad, 'uh? I don't have much to compare this place too, but it's worlds better than the couple of D&D/Greyhawk boards I frequent... and my local music board... and the 3DOzero board. We have a few good writers, some comedians, some cynics, some gaming badasses, some programmers, engineers, modders, graphics designers, and, overall, lots of generous, trusting people. Nobody talks too much about their religion and even the couple of staunch conservatives do productive things. PCEFX is a fairly productive and harmonious corner of the internet, the troublemakers are the ebay transients and Racketboy boxcar willies.

Le word!

As far as Regal's motives and psychology, I don't get the sense that this has been a charade or that he's sipping cognac, laughing at us.
1) No one in their right mind could invent his writing style. The guy clearly has special needs or trauma that impairs his ability to communicate.
2) If he were vying for attention or trying to get a rise out of people, he's sure not very good at it. He succeeded only in getting himself ignored and laughed at until the pedophilia post. Most of his posts exhibit a genuine (if bizarre) interest in politics, coding, and other issues larger than himself and getting attention.
3) If there's one thing an attention whore can never do, it's exercise restraint, and Regal's been pretty quiet since the whole fiasco. Real attention whores (Storino, Nintega, King of Games, Roy, etc) are never late to their own party. They appear like Beatlejuice the moment someone mentions their name and they never shut up. The thread explodes into twenty pages as they try to argue with us, edit their posts, pretend to be chipper and witty, and otherwise feed on their infamy.

These are not the actions of an attention whore.
Yeah, all good points. I leaned towards thinking his story wasn't serious, thus a pretty pathetic and offensive stunt on his part, but I couldn't decide for sure and who knows - the guy is just that weird... There were contradictions/issues with his story, like "I had to put on a pants, while a man was standing in my room." which would indicate law enforcement broke into his home and caught him by surprise. To just break into a residence that you have a search warrant for on possible possession of child pornography doesn't sound right. And his later posts he says, "Everything I post on any website is a complete, joke, fictional opinion of my ID. I am a real artist with real works, I use everything as reference material." Kinda indicating that he was just outright f*cking with people, but then again, could've been just backtracking after realizing that he wasn't gonna get any sympathy from anybody... He crossed some lines either way, just stupid and senseless... and yeah, 9 pages counting both threads of us wasting our breaths trying to figure him out...
His posts don't have any impact on my life other than that I enjoy reading them.
Yeah, I've never seen anything like this bizarre writing style of his, hence I enjoyed it too... but eh, he lost my respect with this one and much worse if it wasn't just a stupid stunt! He needs to explain himself instead of ducking it the way that he is now.
BTW, I believe his delete request was for his entire account/everything; he was projecting paranoia that he's being monitored now, has to look over his shoulders, and is gonna have to say goodbye to all of us (who he loves) for what supposedly had just happened to him... That's kinda how I read it initially, but I dunno. Seems now he's just posting about games and other shit like it never happened. Which should tell us????

His sig says it all.

His sig says it all.
Precisely. To expound on that, here's a RegalSin quote from the interwebz:
What do you love about the internet?
What I love about the internet is the ability to go on a rampage threw forums making Engrish majors go insane. I have did probably like 20-20 or so forums probably reptitively. I have yet to touch girly forums, parental forums, and of course homosexaul+ forums.
I really love the idea of saying to a cripple person who only joy is to type away that I don't use my legs at all and crawl around on the floor and brought a Wheel Chair on purpose that I go up ramps with....only to beleive the real cripple has thrown down there messaging device.
No really I love the fact that while facts could still and is better found in websters that fact which is uninmportant to most like the MSX here is becoming well known by many.
That I am able to get my hands on everything to anything consdering that I live in a shopaholic capital of the world..no not Nevada. More important not pay a penny less or penny more literally while I might be killing off my local hobby shop arond the corner.
What is even better is that it is like living in another country but tied to a giant elastic band and more important gain so much info that you can brag about places. Back then ( which I reeeaallllyy mmisss) when somebody talked about places in the world you would care about it. However nowadays hearing about people who have gone to Russia is like "Oh okay did you pick up any furs?"
What is really funny is the internet crimes like somebody making a 11 year old ***, six year old boys getting e-mails of 40 year + women only to upload them and exchange them with other people, pshyco's who we would find in a bar being called childish names only to face life inprisionment or lower status
Haivng almost every single media format at the touch of your finger tips only to watch some smo wine about how they have the entire collection of ( some sci-fi action series ) and then tell them that you downloaded it and they are like scooby doh!
Seeing the most messed up thing you could ever imagine seeing to probably see a real life horror and laugh at it and say oh wow scary. Oh wow it is a fallen Angel it saying something about the Heavans and Earth.
Then what is really fun is what I just told you and you and it was all a lie and I am making this all up since I have just finished doing some work and instead of nailing my invisible wife I am here typing this for no apparent reason the fact it crossed my mind. Then hey maybe I am not making this up and it all was true since hey this is not even television it is the Internet.
I personally wish for the day when the internet goes back to 56k and we all start being the cave men we was. You knwo going to the libarary hanging around monos, bums, self-proclaimed gansters, and little children who was brought there thinking reading a book would help them get ahead only to find they got a big libarary fee.
Oh yess... I ruee a day when I could go to my local store and buy stuff without knowing. I could have gotten a better deal from somebody on a thread or some auction forum. That I could be a happy consumer and buy tapes and listen to them on my walkman. Heck I will even buy some bootlegs from happy the guy who sleeps with famil made prostitutes.
Still I miss and reather my life without or even outside the internet with every single woman I see outside trying to be miss Nasty pulling her body parts out like a man or even a man being
forced by another man and they are in a rainforest somewhere.
No really I miss life without the internet but that is what I love about it to exprience the lives of others so I don't start walking around in a flesh suit and more important while I sound insane and my typing is eradic I know that somewhere out there I know for a fact who is wayyyyyyy more insane then I could ever be. What is funny is that they will never catch me since I have the internet as my personal makeup kit.
The internet make real life looks like one of those OCP commecials from Robocop. I mean gosh almighty those day walkers are just hebe jeebbees with there langauge thinking by using a cigarrette or drinking beer along with drowning there sorrows in a pair of legs will get them anything. Just dropping like flies, dropping like flies, watching them drop like flies maka me laugh like a lorney

That's the longest Lou Reed song ever.

Hehe! Now see, bizarre nuggets like this are why I grew to enjoy reading his posts and why I couldn't support banning him unless his stupid stunt in FS was serious.
-
Knda feel bad for him. He must have a pretty suck life. That's a lot of wasted time/energy.
-

The inner machinations of this guys head is somethings else.
It's almost like he's trying to create some kind of urbane legend on the internet. Considering all the work that he's done at trying to get on the bad side of every crevice of the internet.
-
Vestcoat, i may disagree with you at times, but the way you summed up this place is spot on. You put it into words far better than i could have. I really like these forums, lots of good people to go around, even if we don't see eye to eye all the time.
-
Totally agree Herc.

My comment wasn't intended as a negative one, so I hope it wasn't perceived that way. I love coming here every day to read the current goings-on. Same goes for NG. Lots of fun drama, but also a tight-knit community.

Well, I was M.I.A. for the past day or so, but it looks like (hopefully) nothing radical was done (that is, no banning).
RegalSin, for all we know, is the cruel creation of 4chan.
But, probably not.
I don't think the folks at 4chan would show the restraint that RegalSin has shown.
The "RegalSin" here at our forums, for all we know, might be an impersonator who is nurturing the legacy of an infamous troll.
But I think we have to original, genuine RegalSin*.
And I think we should be flattered that he calls this place home.
Welcome home, RegalSin.
*If our Regal is an impostor, or a fictional persona perpetuated by a prankster, then this impostor/prankster is certainly putting a lot of effort and love into making us think otherwise. I am humbled. We all should be. Welcome home, comrade, whoever and whatever you may be.

"Flattered..." That's one way to put it... Hehe!
