Alek from PSP Wiki: Dark AleX not leaving, DA forums shut down due to costs

Posted Aug 29, 2009 at 11:26AM EST by Mabie A.

Listed in: Homebrew Development, News Tags: Dark AleX, psp homebrews

A couple of days ago, the PSP homebrew community was in shock as we found news about the Dark-AleX.org forum closing down. What could be the meaning of this? Does this mean there's no more homebrew slices of heaven from Dark AleX himself? Not exactly.

The good news is that Alek has clarified the current situation they are in. Posting at the PSP Wiki News, we finally see the light, and thankfully, it's not totally goodbye after all.

Said the post:

This really isn't "Wiki News" but seeing as there is a traffic increase with the wiki, I figured it will fit here: The forums are closed down due to expenses. Dark-Alex isn't leaving the scene or forgetting about us. So please don't have the "mental image" that he's ditched us for good. The forums are only down, the rest of the network isn't. If you have any issues, feel free to contact the staff throughout the network.

Thanks to hender and dargx001 for the tip!

Hey thanks man. I'm just really worried bout my friend... he went in sometime early this morning... another friend of mine called and said "Devin!! Alex (a different one, not DA) is in the Hospital!". I was scared that he could have been in a coma or somethin... my other friend's name is Jack (The guy who called) ... and he said "He wouldn't stop throwing up...". I'm just scared he's cough up a lung... literally... I hope it's just a bad virus, that won't kill him...

# @P0op — Devin2229 2009-08-29 17:37

Dude, don't start... i really don't mean to be mean here, but that statement really pissed me off... how would you like it if your best friend went to the hospital??!

I'm so scared right now... apparently you don't know how this feel...

you're the one being mean right there... not me...

So, PLEASE don't say anything like that again... even though that may not sound bad when "you" type it, things can greatly affect others... And right now, i'm so freakin scared...

# for the love of god — CaptainObvious1 2009-08-29 18:06

this is not a goddamn soap opera. this is the internet.

take the captains advice here;

grow a pair or

seek out Oprah

then come back to the internet, where we can say whatever in blazes we feel like.

meh, nuff said.

# ya know what, man? — Devin2229 2009-08-29 18:17

your manners suck!

DO you even know how it feels to have a best friend go to the hospital, and be scared that he might die??!!

i freakin apologized... what i said was wrong, i gave my reason, you don't have to be such a doushebag about it!!!

oh yah and some people find it offensive when you say "goddamn" and stuff like that.. sooo...

just askin... please don't be a jerk about this, i've had a *****ty day, and i just don't know what to do right now... if you were in my position, you'd know what this feels like...

# you don't have to be such a doushebag about it!!! — CaptainObvious1 2009-08-29 18:30

WO-OOAAH!! HES RAGING ME GOOD

YOU KILLED MY SELF ESTEEM TO DEATH

# :( — Devin2229 2009-08-29 18:38

I'm not gonna argue anymore...

they never said the end of the world is now.

And... It's worthless to argue.. no one's gonna get anywhere, it's gonna go on, and on, and on, and on, and on...

Listen... i started by being a jerk, because of certain things... then I apologized... its really hard to do that, and i did it... especially at a time like this... then you came up, and started being a jerk... i don't understand this... i said i was sorry, this drags on and on... mature people, like, apex05 are forgiving. You should be too. and just because it's the internet doesn't make it okay to be a jerk, when i'm having a terribly rough day like this... it's not an excuse... that's never an excuse... it's like saying "oh, i killed this guy cuz i got angry... i couldn't help it, sorry..."... not an excuse...

If you aren't smart enough to realize this, i feel sorry for you...

# Idiots on the internet. — lolwut? 2009-08-29 18:42

You are one of them. Its pirates. People who pirate software are pirates. Not "Pirators". Pirates. If anything it'd be pirater, but thats just retarded. That and people who hack their psp's aren't just pirates. I hacked mine for the internet before 2.0 came around. I hacked mine for the alarm clock, and the ability to adhoc im. I hacked mine so it was a swiss army knife of tools that i could use at my disposal. Not every psp hacker pirates. In Fact, Dark AleX doesnt condone pirating. Many of the pirates already have their psp's hacked, so the only reason they'd update is if something new came out on the psp firmware like the psn store, or skype.

wow apex05...I'm not a guy who likes pickin fights, but... I really wanna punch you in the face right now O.o

Peace.

P.S. Sorry if that sounded harsh

# Devin2229 is a douche^^^ — xgamer91 2009-08-29 18:48

Who are you to tell people what they can and can't say or how they abbreviate words? It sounds like YOU are the one with no life and spends all of of you own time finding people to correct.

P.S. Sorry if that sounded harsh

(Sarcastically)

# yo... — danielakadanny 2009-08-29 18:48

don't get so mad...like he said this is the internet...people will or won't take you serious...anyways he is just doin that to piss you off I bet...its just humor so don't get all serious about it

Boo hoo hoo, your friend is in the hospital, go cry about it on myspace

my hero isnt retire i rote him a poem for nothing?

# Thanks daniel — Devin2229 2009-08-29 18:56

It's just, it feels really crappy...

i guess some people on the internet are just immature retards trying to be stupid to get attention...

my friend Jack just called too and said that the doctor said he has something called "botulism" err something like that... although i can't see Alex cuz i moved from Mass to VA... my parents won't drive me up there...

Hey, man, thanks for the info though... when i get really sad like this, my anger goes waaay up... i don't mean to start arguments... just wish people would either mind their own business or be a lot kinder...

Some ppl out there are just a**holes, ya know? preferably, people who have no friends... must be the way they act...

But thanks Dan :)

# @ Xgamer and others... — Devin2229 2009-08-29 19:01

dude... okay... i may be a douche at times, alright?

I'm sorry, sometimes, i can't take it anymore, and i lose my temper... i'm sorry to everybody...

this time i hope you'll except it... cuz everybody does or has things they're not proud of... mines, when i get super sad, this happens... so... i'm sorry

# Allow me to disassemble your reply into the sands of mediocrity — CaptainObvious1 2009-08-29 19:12

"I'm not gonna argue anymore..."

Fascinating, the female tiger has submitted to its dominant lion pimp. It sees that there is no point continuing since she would inevitably, be penetrated by the lions iron shlong.

"they never said the end of the world is now."

Now this is remarkable, the lady tiger attempts to discredit the lions previous statement. Without a doubt, the lion would either be shocked by it, or not care at all. Amazing stuff.

"And... It's worthless to argue.. no one's gonna get anywhere, it's gonna go on, and on, and on, and on, and on..."

Wow, this is intruiging. Instead of devising clever and innovative ways to combat the lion, she just elaborates on a previous statement and uses repetitive words, to bore the lion into some type of, idiotic trance. Alas, it is ineffective.

"Listen... i started by being a jerk, because of certain things... then I apologized... its really hard to do that, and i did it... especially at a time like this... then you came up, and started being a jerk... i don't understand this... i said i was sorry, this drags on and on... mature people, like, apex05 are forgiving. You should be too. and just because it's the internet doesn't make it okay to be a jerk, when i'm having a terribly rough day like this... it's not an excuse... that's never an excuse... it's like saying "oh, i killed this guy cuz i got angry... i couldn't help it, sorry..."... not an excuse..."

INCREDIBLE!! By using the phrase 'jerk' a lot, the tiger claims that she, her lion pimp, and everyone is a jerk at some stage. AND WHAT'S THIS!? The lion has unveiled her trump card, building up apex05 so that perhaps he will swoop down and save the tiger from the hungry man-pole of the Captain of all Lion-Pimps. In conclusion to her wall of whining, the tiger has used an example to help illustrate her rebuttal. That will surely aid her paint a picture of what she's trying to say. Genius.

"If you aren't smart enough to realize this, i feel sorry for you..."

Unprecedented!! The tiger has inflicted the ultimate retaliation by insulting the lions intelligence as well as feigning sympathy (sympathy that she clearly craves for).

Clearly, the lion has been defeated by immeasurable logic. Well at least until she starts receiving white justice from the lions pube-cannon.

Wildlife in the internet sure can be interesting. nuff said

I feel pretty goddamn sage right about now.

You do realize that it's the wig ger skateboarding community that says the sort of things he said right? And most skateboarders are mindless conformist types right?

# to devin and all the people responding to the fake drama. — WACOMalt 2009-08-29 19:37

Feel free to keep this going, it's amusing. But I can't help but be frightened if any of this, and I mean any of it at all is your guys' actual reaction to this sort of stuff in real life.

Some guy corrected your spelling like a *****? Flick him off, move on. Someone called you a ***** for correcting him? Accept it, move on. Someone called you a ***** on the internet? Laugh. It's the internet, and you successfully added to it's demise. Congratulations . Now move on.

oh, and thumbs up to DA still existing, and sorry dennis or whatever your name was about your friend, if it's true. But due to this fake drama everyone involved lost 3 internets. Sorry. Move on.

# ... — gunblade15zx 2009-08-29 20:43

Everyone just stfu and just discuss your opinion on the news this is why comments are made in the first place so you can discuss and give your opinions. This isn't a place where everyone suddenly becomes an English teacher and starts correcting people on how they type and abbreviate.

Anyways back to the news ok by what it says, "The forums only down, the rest of the network isn't." That means the m33 network update is still functioning right.

# Tell you the truth — doomplayer75 2009-08-29 20:46

you should do something called "re-reading" and don't take your anger out on innocent people. This isn't the place to ***** and moan about your life. If I killed someone and used your pathetic excuse they would still lock me up. Suck it up and quit making excuses.

# I agree — CaptainObvious1 2009-08-29 20:56

and sage3k will live forever.

# Hey I read you poem — doomplayer75 2009-08-29 20:56

Well i hope now he realize most of us appreciate his work.

# "this is why comments are made in the first place so you can discuss and give your opinions" — CaptainObvious1 2009-08-29 21:06

It is in my professional opinion, based on all current factors,

that I proclaim you to be a 'party-pooper' of some variation.

# laughable — pewpie 2009-08-29 21:29

This is not news to anybody that has the ability to read.

It was quite clear from the message left on the DA forums that their closing was not the end.

People need to stop panicking like schoolgirls.. rest easy - the day when we can turn the big shiny ***** of $ony and the fanboys 180 degrees and shove it back up their own impetuous asses is coming. Sure as sh1t.

# listen — shtgvr02 2009-08-29 21:49

honestly this is very old news the webmaster 4 that web site said that it was do to cost that THE SITE WENT DOWN and d_a never said a thing about his leave AND it was more like a cya a cya later duh so u would think that a team or just the one guy woundnt jus leave , if it was me that was d_a then i would never leave cuz his project is geting the heat on it gona longer to stay updated so if i was u i would JUST BE PACIENT ther are alots of systems out there with different models nuff said im usn my PSP AS A SWISS ARMY KNIFE is a good analogy it can do alot

# what it is — danielakadanny 2009-08-30 04:03

What is botulism?

Botulism is a rare but serious paralytic illness caused by a nerve toxin that is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. There are three main kinds of botulism. Foodborne botulism is caused by eating foods that contain the botulism toxin. Wound botulism is caused by toxin produced from a wound infected with Clostridium botulinum. Infant botulism is caused by consuming the spores of the botulinum bacteria, which then grow in the intestines and release toxin. All forms of botulism can be fatal and are considered medical emergencies. Foodborne botulism can be especially dangerous because many people can be poisoned by eating a contaminated food.

How common is botulism?

In the United States, an average of 145 cases are reported each year. Of these, approximately 15% are foodborne, 65% are infant botulism, and 20% are wound. Adult intestinal colonization and iatrogenic botulism also occur, but rarely. Outbreaks of foodborne botulism involving two or more persons occur most years and usually caused by eating contaminated home-canned foods.

just for people could know what it is...lol all this $hit is soo off-topic...the qj staff must be having a good laugh

I think it's safe to assume, your friend is pretty much f***ed.

danielakadanny, your reply should probably create a "wow, that's quite serious isn't it?" response. However, due to the annoying, whiny, attention-seeking nature of Devin2229, I can't help but find it funny.

Honestly dude, what does your sick friend and your bad day have to do with somebody saying "NUFF SAID"? My mother had surgery on the brain and was in the hospital for a month, my step dad raped my little sister. Am I pointlessly flaming people because of their grammar? Are you a f*ckin english teacher or something? Who are you to tell him he cannot type how he wants to? That's not your place! Leave your emotions off the internet and overall, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything.

If DA needs, i can host his forum at my server.
