OMH: Never knew about this <snipped> character.

I just remember the Pink Panther, his weird threads, how he would just go straight on the attack, and what a lil kid he is.

And then the fun and games a bunch of us had afterwards with our little sigs - oh funny days!

Hehe, oh yeah i almost forgot about him. Wonder what he is doing now... I wonder if he even still goes to Neowin under a different name? :shiftyninja:

Who remembers <snipped> and his fetish for younger girls (ie: underage) and his posts about his 'girlfriends' parents warning him to stay away.

Wow, I'm impressed. You don't even know this person, there's no way you even know the whole story, and you're kicking a banned person while they're down with no way to defend themselves. Good job assuming you know what his situation was. I don't know him either, but that's crossing a line. I don't care that this is your site and you're the admin, and this member is a banned one not here any more, that's not the point. What you said about him is so unacceptable and unprofessional as an administrator. This is not an example you should be setting for your other members.

Wow, so:

1) Defending someone who you don't know

2) Questioning someone over something they claim to know about and you claim not to know about

3) Telling Neobond how to run his site!

I am not a kiss-up here (far from it), but if you don't like how the owner of the site does something, um, well, not really much you can do is there!

I kinda think your reply fits nicely into this thread! LOL:

Noob members who attack respected members over things they clearly have no knowledge over!

Oh, so just because he's staff he has every right to bend/break his own rules and people MUST respect him? I believe respect is earned and not given. I wouldn't care if he was God or Jesus or the president themselves. I may be out of line, but he was too. No, I don't know the story with the member he brings up, but neither does he. He doesn't know him either and that doesn't make it right for him to play guessing games.

Dooooh, yes. This little corner of cyberspace is his. None of us have to be here, and we can leave any time we please.

Im not to sure what your problem is, but let it drop.

No ****.

Not really a problem, per se, just find it funny he'd do a thing like that when he doesn't even know the person (yea, yea, I don't either). Oh well. I guess that's what makes the internet fun, isn't it? Hiding behind anonymity, eh?

Sorry for hijacking the topic and ranting in it. D'oh, indeed.

Well from what he said, those accusations are an accepted fact on Neowin. I doubt he'd say it unless he knew that other members would remember and back up those claims. I doubt you'd have a clue. He obviously does because he was there when whatever threads/PMs happened.

So umm, I can't see any rules broken by his post, can anyone else?

Oh, and I wouldn't expect you to respect or be respected by anyone here yet, but for long standing members it's a bit different.

Back on topic....some of the mods here are funny/weird/sad but I can't think of much else.

If this issue causes you sleepless nights i suggest you PM' him. Im sure he will be happy to fill you in on what ever the reasoning behind any actions he has had on the subject.

Apart from the fact that staff actions are not to be questioned on the boards, not because its a dictatorship, but because if every one that had a problem with a staff action or choice the site would become less of a news and tec site and more of a whingers forum, so you are always entitled to question any issue and or action, but by pm only..

Hope you understand.

How can you claim Neobond doesn't know all about <snipped>? You have no basis for making that claim! I am not claiming he does, but he shows a knowledge of him, that I have no reason to question.

And do we have to do as Neobond says? Not, not in the least - we are free to leave HIS site at any time we please.

On topic: Persephone is weird. And she smells of gerbils! But I love her all the same ;)

No, that's just it. There is no fact or truth in it. It's all assumptions unless the aforementioned member was able to confirm or deny the allegations. Staff members aren't always right in everything either. Let's just move along now.

Dude, I have been here longer than I look. I don't need the manual quoted to me. Thanks. And I all ready said it doesn't bother me at all. Humors me, actually. Let's not make this topic the one to be funny/weird/sad, ha ha.

On a site this big, do you think Steven would take the time to personally get to know any members? Just because he'd say whatever he said about him doesn't mean it's true. He just shows an assumption about him.

Drop it, let it go.

arent you assuming that neobond doesnt know this guy personally? didnt you assume that neobond doesnt know any of these statements as a fact? im not saying your wrong but im just pointing out the fact that you made this statement on assumptions of your own mate... for all you know these two could be next door neighbours and from what ive heard anyway, i dont think this guy was very secretive about what neobond said about him in the first place!

i couldnt help but get my say in on this matter... please dont shoot me :(

LOL, you're okay, dude. From my research, the one guy lives in the USA, and Neobond lives in the UK? Across countries. Most likely that they don't know each other. Aye, maybe not secretive, but what if he was looking for advice on something, and someone wanted to be an arse and turn it around into something it isn't. I'm done with this now.

Anyway...

Who's this Pink Panther guy and what did he do? Was he like Scoobie? :shiftyninja:

Speaking of <snipped>.... This thread https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=278150 is hilarious! He comes back and is all apologetic and such... And the thread is celebrating his 1000th post... But he's banned with only 1000 posts! Which I read being banned because of that thread! :laugh: Edited by Fred Derf

I love you for asking that. You just opened a can of worms that makes me giggle whenever I hear it!

OK, so he was a 14 year old kid, who made psosts like this:

1) I stayed off school today to masturbate over web pr0n. Am I weird? Do I do it too much?

2) I like {insert band}, but now my mate is into them - I liked them first, and he is just pretending, I hate him

He'd make comments like "If your parents ever saw you naked, you'd be in such trouble.", "I am the most mature person anyone has ever met. My teacher says so"...

When I said accepted as fact, I mean as in that member alluded to such behaviour on this forum. But yeah arguing on the internet, can't be bothered.

Pink Panther - now he loved arguing on the internet lol. He behaved like he had an autistic spectrum disorder - I don't mean that in a flame bait/take the **** out of the handicapped way either.

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.
