PSMonkey Says Goodbye To Homebrew Scene

Posted Sep 2, 2006 at 10:06PM EST by QJ Staff

Sadly, a well-known member of the PSP Homebrew community has to leave the scene. According to a public letter that PSmonkey has posted on his website, he is forced to stop releasing homebrews to the public because of his new job with one of the major publishers of PSP games. He did not name the company that he now works for, but he did note that his contract restricts him from making further contributions to the homebrew community.

However, he did say that his two most popular projects Iris (an FPS) and Sandbox (a physics demo) will be taken up by fellow-enthusiasts, as stated in part of his letter.

"Yes Iris 0.3 is still coming. I have a few people interested in redoing the game like I intended as well as continue to progress KohKae engine.

Sandbox is also not going anywhere. One of this scene's great coders is going to pick up where I left off to continue the game.

Regarding my other projects, I personally will continue my fight to conker N64 & DD emulation on the PSP. M64 will still continue but no releases will be made public. I will how ever make my DD research public once finished.

ngPsp 1.3 ( the neogeo pocket emu) is still coming, A friend is gonna finish writing a GUI for my latest version.

Other then that, sadly all my other work is now dead (new fps will migrate into Iris 0.3, beat-em-up is dead).

That's it.

I will still lurk around and try to help people out with technical info but it will be sad to no longer work on homebrew for the scene I loved so much. Yet who knows what the future will bring and maybe I will end up being in a position that it's legally possible for me to do homebrew again."

So until then, we say "thank you" for all the tips and most of all, for the games.

This story sucks? This story rocks!

Iris sucked, sandbox sucked, and youre N64 emulator sucked. You made useless updates all the time, and Im glad youre gone. I realize I havent done anything for the homebrew scene, but I didnt hype it up and post constant updates without anything to try out like he did. and #4 he was not the first to inspire people to make emulators. He was not the first to code a emulator for PSP ya dink.

# Sad but good for him — Guest 2006-09-03 01:44

Its sad that he has to leave but lucky for him that he gets to work at what he obviously loves doing.

Coding for the PSP was his hobby and now its his job.

Congrats

# Guest 2006-09-03 01:46

Congrats, have fun, and thank you very much for everything.

# Guest 2006-09-03 01:49

conditions of new job

flip burgers

clean grills

lick managers arse

no time for homebrew

bullsheet

# Hmmm — Guest 2006-09-03 01:56

To be honest though, it seems likely that he left because he wouldn't be able to compete with Dadaelus.

# Thank you — Guest 2006-09-03 01:58

Thanks Monkey for all your hard work on the homebrew scene.

good luck into the future

# when — souleater 2006-09-03 02:12

#8, Bryan: who cares if he overhypes his homebrew(I don't think he does) at least he is coding something. What have you done for this community aside from being a flamer?

#11, dave davidson: do you have any proof that he is working in a fast food restaurant? If not then you are just jealous that he is working in a gaming company while you are working in a fast food restaurant or you are without a job.

I don't understand what is so good about flaming coders. Do the noobs/haters feel something good from flaming coders and they go to a Nirvana like state or something? Or is it that since they are living a boring life in their parents basement they want to flame coders to get some laughts?

If someone can explain it to me please do so.

# Thank you PSM — Guest 2006-09-03 02:15

and best of luck with your new job :)

# c ya — Guest 2006-09-03 02:21

listen to number 6

homebrew was good while it lasted, go and make games we can all enjoy!

(wouldnt mind if you could persuade the company to make games that can run directly on 1.5 :D)

# PSMonkey — CHUCKINGROCKSATSPACESHIPS 2006-09-03 02:36

You are going to be missed. Thanks for your hard work and I wish you the best of luck in your new job. I hope you can drop by and comment now and then. See ya.

# #12 — Guest 2006-09-03 02:39

hahahaha................no, and #2 i hope your balls burn off

# Good Luck! — Guest 2006-09-03 02:48

Why would you not want to mention the company you are working for? Embarrassed?

Anyway, good luck to you. Remember us little people when you get rich, lol.

# pwn3d by dadaelus — terminalblue 2006-09-03 02:49

i agree 12...

iris was kind of ok, but i dont think psmonkey ever delivered

# i don't understand — Guest 2006-09-03 02:51

how can a someone stop him from making free software for a public website. it's not like he's breaking any laws.

if they decide to check up on him, why wouldn't he just use a different name? (i guess the 'fellow-enthusiasts' could just be his way of getting around the contract, even though it seems completely absurd...)

# i eat babies — Guest 2006-09-03 02:59

wtf #2 pspmonkey is one of the best. so stfu. and although i fell bad i am glad he got a job instead of giving his time to newbs and retards like #2 for free.

# YO PSMonkey — Guest 2006-09-03 03:03

I just can't wait to pirate whatever game it is you make!

# lol — Guest 2006-09-03 03:05

we still have that other guy with the daedlaus n64 emu.

# ahoy — Guest 2006-09-03 03:21

yarrr good luck with yee new yob!

# Number 14 — Guest 2006-09-03 03:23

Do you have any proof he does work for a Big gameing Thing

he is probaly a nerd stuckin in his mums basement who found a job

WHO here has a peace of HOMEBREW made by PSmonkey on thair psp NO 1 his n64 thing sukcs so bad hahahahaahahhah aahahahahaahaha hahahahahahahah ahahahahahah

# number 23 — Guest 2006-09-03 03:33

lol lol lol me *****ing to lol lol lol

psmonkey's games are gonna get pirated but dey will probly have *****ed up graphics like is N64 Emulator

# ...SaveGame... — Guest 2006-09-03 03:33

Hey PSMonkey, congrats on the new job but errr.... why don't you volunteer to create the SaveGame system for your new employer's games and then drop Fanjita a line? WINK WINK

# CONGRATS — Guest 2006-09-03 03:46

Good stuff on getting the job...you deserve it. So are you go to leak all the PSP code for us when you get your hands on the good stuff....its always nice to have one of us on the inside.

I will even buy you a usb stick so you can smuggle out the goods for us.

# good luck — akuma2099 2006-09-03 03:51

I can't say that I have ever used any of his software. Iris was not something I was interested in and neither was the ngPSP thing since the system itself sucked. As for the n64 emu it might have been nice about 6 months from now but I never tried it since it was really early in the development stages. Anyway enjoy your new job.

# So sony hired PspMonkey or the real person? — Guest 2006-09-03 03:58

I don't get it. You're just an alias on the internet. So You're free to do whatever you want without your real identity being revealed, aren't you?

# Guest 2006-09-03 04:12

No Job @ sony is found ppl, PSPmonkey just couldn't keep up.

The job is just a bad exuse. Bye PSPmonkey, too bad you're

going man. It's just sad you're going like this. Chicken.

# Guest 2006-09-03 04:21

PSPmonkey has enough of working for free

# Guest 2006-09-03 04:23

i love iris but sadly i has to upgrade to 2.6 and dont know anyone with a 1.5 psp

i had chuckie finster in that game it was funny bye PSMonkey have fun at your job hope some day you can do home brew again

# Guest 2006-09-03 04:31

See ya PSmonkey. Thanks for your contributions. Hopefully your company makes awesome licensed games so we can play around with those. They could sure use your skills.

# clear up some things — PSmonkey 2006-09-03 04:42

1) The company I am going to is one of the top 5 publishers/developers in this industry. The company has developed many games that have sold over 1 million copies. I wont mention the studio because it will probably get me in serious trouble plus might lead to issues with sony. I'm not going to f* things up since they rescued me from another horible DS game.

2) My contract has a "Non Compeditive Clause" which states that all of my work (done on their time or mine) is their property. Sucks but I had no way around it. Most big name studios have this. My old employer was more easy going on me since my boss knew I was a big fan of homebrew (my gba homebrew got me my 1st industry job).

3) Iris (a bit faster private build) is what got me my job in the first place. My work portfolio is filled with crap licensed kids games for gba, ds & ps1. So I used iris to help give me a better chance at getting in.

4) I still will hang around the scene but I wont be releasing anything. Its up to the people I passed my work onto to continue. I hope that they personly do.

# ................. — Guest 2006-09-03 04:47

My senses tell me he's working on EA , but he could be working for take two. If not either of those 2 my senses suck.

# Also..... — Guest 2006-09-03 04:51

I hope the games you help on making has in the credits "psmonkey" , that way we could all recognize you worked in that game. I know that's impossible to do but it would be nice :). Anyways good luck on the gaming industry , you're probably gonna be one of the most experienced workers since probably less than 5% have experience on making homebrew games.

# clear up some things — PSmonkey 2006-09-03 04:51

# This is the fact — Guest 2006-09-03 04:54

Where Psmonkey is working is no ones business, he owes you nothing and does not have to answer to anyone about what he decided to do or what his reasons are. I say good luck to him with what ever he does. Maybe some of you should stop acting like you are owed anything because you aren't.

# his name? — Guest 2006-09-03 04:54

What was psmonkeys REAL name?

# goodbye — Guest 2006-09-03 05:09

now psmonkey can mabey turn iris into an actual game, with some inprovements of course.

every body hates #2. 2 should go suck a goat.

i propose a moment of silence for psmonkey. (nobody post for a minit).

Thanks for all your contributuions to the homebrew scene and all your hard work, I hope this job really works out for you.

#8, same goes your you n00b

# blah blah — Erik R. 2006-09-03 05:32

who gives a *****

# one suggestion — DarkLink5607 2006-09-03 05:54

i would love to see you release any unfinished source code you were in the middle of to the public, rather than just giving source to a few "enthusiasts." I for one would love to learn more about C++ on the PSP by looking at and playing with your source. It would be in the spirit of the GREAT psp homebrew community to let anyone continue your great work. Other than that good luck on your new job

# :( — Guest 2006-09-03 05:56

Awww Im gonna miss your homebrew :'(

# 27 — Guest 2006-09-03 05:58

ur an idiot he's not gonna code the whole thing by him self...

n 2 every one who thinks he's *****ening out he aint he probly got a life not like u ppl stickin ur face on the comp all day flaming devloper for somthing that u will never be able to do!

# Guest 2006-09-03 06:05

Sorry to see you leave you did some fairly major stuff for the psp.

# its all totally true — Illegal Machine 2006-09-03 06:09

Video game companies hire pirates ALL the time, it goes like this:

Excuse me 1337h4x0r intern00b, I work at the Human resources department over at EA games, and we here at EA are very impressed with your illegal work as of late, it's been mentioned to me (by the president of the company) that your skills would be of great benefit to us ... (just don't tell anyone who we are ever) keep in mind 1337h4x0r that you arent allowed to ever make any more illegal eboots for anyone ever again because we own you now, AND thank god for that because we're SO glad to have you as out newest addition. too Bad people like zx-81, and ahman couldn't be turned to the darkside... I mean hired, but one monkey is worth all the rest of them right? I mean everyone on the internet plays iris of course, and according to our numbers iris is going to be the number 1 game of the new milennium.

remember tho we OWN YOU, and you're NOT ALLOWED to release ANYTHING EVER AGAIN. yea we rock and you're our lil beeotch got it

now dance Monkey boy I SAID DANCE!

# :( — Guest 2006-09-03 06:15

im sorry to hear your leaving...

# You have joined the darkside my friend. — Guest 2006-09-03 06:21

Nobody is the best.

# ehh — isti 2006-09-03 06:22

Illegal Machine, you are mad

but I must agree, that no contract can stop you from releasing anything..

most likely the $h!tload of money they pay you..

so PSMonkey, you've sold your soul, and we hate you,

but you did the right thing ;)

thanks for all the great stuff!

good luck in the future! :)

# ... — Guest 2006-09-03 06:28

Well, it sucks that you´re leaving, but your emu never did perform when compared to the Daedalus emu.

Iris was an okay game, but it was incomplete (at least the build that I was playing).

The physics engine looked to be promising if worked on, but I never downloaded it.

Anyway, good luck at your new job. What department are you in? Game design, QA, or programming?

# slowmotiony 2006-09-03 06:35

I think im gonna release some ***** after 3 months of hyping it up and then abandon it just to get the news page goodbye!

# Hey PSMonkey... — Guest 2006-09-03 06:44

Best of luck to you.

# Noobs stfu — Guest 2006-09-03 06:47

Will every noob cut this darkness-crap -_-"

Like it or not, working for the game industry is every homebrew coder's dream, Monkey's dream came true so be happy will ya :)

So PSMonkey, congratulations , your N64 emu might not have been the best one, but it sure was a piece of art. And Iris was the best non-port FPS on the scene. Kudos, you deserve it :)

# good riddance too — Illegal Machine 2006-09-03 06:59

Stupid Monkey posted my IP address on another site because I don't care if his wittle feewings get huwt

Totally stupid man.. shows your true colors and how we are all better off without you

# Bunch of cowards & haters — masr1979 2006-09-03 07:19

How easy it is to criticize peoples work, specially anonymously when they can't defend themselves properly. Although many of you may not have a life don't assume everyone is like you, work, schoo, partners & friends take up time, now add coding homebrew for a bunch of freeloders into the mix and you got yourself a pretty busy person. I know most of you don't even know what your talking about when you disrespect someone or your just taking out all of your frustration on someone else, so thats why I don't even get upset at little *****es like yourselves, I actually feel sorry for your pathetic existences, getting smacked around by everyone you know must have scared all of you for life poor little ignorant pests. Anyways enough of that, congrats monkey, never tried any of your homebrew, but it was appreciated none the less, Best of luck to you.

# flexing what? — Illegal Machine 2006-09-03 08:42

Dude you promised full speed n64 emulation 4 months ago, probably got scared because you hit a wall, and crunch time is coming up, Daedalus is whipping your sad emulators ass, and NOW you have to make up some story to excuse you from the STATEMENTS THAT YOU YOURSELF HAVE MADE.

And I'd like to see someone try to do something to my comp remotely, guess what dude, people don't love you that much tha't they'll attack me for calling BS on your statments.

# slowmotiony 2006-09-03 08:49

its not about the sh*tness of his homebrews since not everyone is a great coder, its about the hype hes been pulling off...

those jackasses at your job would never know

# Stay alive psmonkey and have a good life — Dragon Claw 2006-09-03 09:36

The leechers who flame him hate that he's better and talented than theirselves. Thier parents never gave them love so they call coders names and tease them. When they are done they go back to their corners and cry.

# Well.. — Guest 2006-09-03 09:43

You were a good guy PSMonkey. I was looking forward to Monkey64, but you`re obligated at your work too. You gotta put bread on the table somehow, right?

Thanks for your efforts!! (And how bout throwing in a possible exploit in w`e game you`re working for? ;) )

# Its a sad day for the scene. — Guest 2006-09-03 09:47

ts a sad day for the scene to be sure.

people flaming left and right. And not just here. There flaming in my neck of the woods too.

But i'll tell you what's the saddest thing of all. People want to flame.. But they don't even really know Psmonkey.

Take it From someone that Got to know Psmonkey as a friend. He's a great person that deserves this Job. And if any of the people spouting flames. has ever really gotten to know him. They would know He's good people too..

Psmonkey has all my best wishes in his new Job. And as i see it who better to make the games we play then Psmonkey, He's a fellow gamer as well, and knows what we gamers really want.

Best of luck to you bro. Keep it real :)

# Guest 2006-09-03 09:48

Code something into the new game like GTA's save exploit so we can have homebrew on 3.0+

Dont forget about kernal mode when you do it.

# @_@ — GameLordOmega 2006-09-03 10:13

You all need to stfu... you guys r stupid, just cuz daedalus got better, dosen't mean it'll ever get to full speed, like zx's gba, it was GREAT but not PERFECT, one day ill b seeing some of you guys cussing out the daedalus emu when some other guy makes a full speed n64... traitor losers.. also, I enjoyed looking at news on QJ... real or fake, it's SOMETHING that you do in your lifetime, why not enjoy it? that was not a waste of time, that just made ur life better by making it more diverse...

Also, if you are not lying.. then good luck at your new job, dammit i was waiting for YOU to make that full speed emu.. not Strmnrmn(sorry for the spelling)...

I don't know why people always assume posters here haven't had gf's but having said that, having a gf is certainly not the be all and end all so many make it out to be. Indeed, at times gf's can be nothing but a pain in the ass so please keep your assumptions to yourself in future.

# i dont even give a ***** — Erik R. 2006-09-03 12:20

pspmonkey sucks

# NDA — Guest 2006-09-03 12:38

To people that ask why pspmonkey did not disclose his company's name or the spot he is in right now is most likely because he signed a contract with a NDA (Non-disclosure agreement).

He has to give up on his homebrew job is because he also signed the contract that needed him to stop doing anything that interact with game making just for the company's sake.

# Shocked? — Cao 2006-09-03 13:06

Not at all. Never used any of his programs. But, good luck.

# SellOut? — Guest 2006-09-03 14:13

TAKING AWAY WHAT COULD BE THIS GUY'S ONLY HOBBEY???!!!

Another reason why I hate Sony as a buisiness. Yes their hardware is top-notch, but their guys in suits are a bunch of fairys. I have started to develop a deep loathing for Sony shortly after my PS2, a little under a year old started not reading DVD's/Games. Then their virus's on their music CD's. Noww the incessant releases of firmware "updates". The only reason I bought a PSP in firstplace was because of it's hardware capabilities. Unless they release something absolutley must-have, I won't be purchasing anymore Sony products. PHUCK SONY!

# cya monkey — RaiderX 2006-09-03 14:55

ill have to ask him wut company he works for

# yaho ravo yapor tuherma na — Guest 2006-09-03 15:20

Don´t you see? Sony is the "hype machine" always overhyping about their new hardware/software, so they need Psmonkey as he is the "hype machine" in the homebrew side, to make together the "mega-ultra-final-hype" to the Cell processor on the PS3.

I was suspecting about this forces joining months ago.

PS: posting someother's IP in a public forum reveals some things. 1- PSmonkey is a bad mod, IP's are only visible by mods for some purposse different from that 2- He has no argumentation. 3- He has no skills related to hack someother's computer by himself. 4- He has no humor sense, Illegal Machine (#50) wrote the funniest thing i have read today.

Cya,

# Yep.. — Guest 2006-09-03 15:55

All I have to say is that PSMonkey should get the award for biggest douche in the universe.... Everything you have made has been done better by someone so im glad to see you leave.

# he sucks — Guest 2006-09-03 16:16

he was the worst person on this whole scene its good hes gone he belongs on sonys side not on ours

# Many thanks, and Much Luck! — vertigociel 2006-09-03 16:19

I am very sad to see you leave the scene, as you were one of the most talented developers out there, and you made phenomonal progress on Monkey64 (and really, native emulation is the ONLY way we'll get full speed w/sound, Daedelus will never get there, because it's merely a port) before all the stupid 12-year-old dumbasses opened their mouths to turn your update posts into rivers of flame. I'm glad to see you didn't leave because of the abuse (that's what popped to mind when I saw the headline), but because you've found a great oppurtunity to put your hard work to a more immediate end for yourself. I wish you best of luck at your new post, and try to ignore those folks here with IQ's smaller than their shoe size that are polluting this thread (especially those who rhyme with "mind full of beans").

# WOW, I DONT KNOW WHAT TO THINK! — Guest 2006-09-03 16:29

I am reallly at a loss for words. This is what happens when people with talent sign contracts with a game company. They obviously see something in him they like so lets not knock his talent 'cause he's going to be making the money. My initial thought was EA as well but who knows, the company he's working for is not important. The contract deal that he signed is very common withtin the industry. The absolute worst case I ever heard of with a contract along these lines of the company owning intellectual rights, is with Disney. They have a contract in which they own certain creative aspects even AFTER you leave them for a certain amout of time. Anyway, as far as PSMonkey leaving sure he could do releases behind thier back and all that but why risk your job, right? Im sure alot of talented homebrew creators could get jobs with big game companys but its a double edged sword. Your turning your back on the homebrew community and trying to embrace the "mainstream" gaming public. Half of which is going to download an ISO of your latest game for free anyway. So you know what EVERYONE WINS. PSMonkey gets paid to make games. The "mainstream" buys a great game and pirates and the homebrew community download the ISO for free anyway. Anyone else agree?

# I am ashamed! — vertigociel 2006-09-03 16:38

Who here can blame PSmonkey for leaving the scene for a job, when he coded homebrew for FREE, and was met with almost nothing but flame from those he produced his programs for? Really, it's jealous little coder wannabes here like Mind Full of Beans and Bullet Time who can't stand to see someone way more dedicated and talented than them actually break in to the business that are the reason we don't already have full-speed native N64 emulators and commercial-calibre homebrew shooters: why would developers want to come to the PSP scene when all they get for their hard work is immature intellectually-inadequate idiophiles flaming them? Mind Full of Beans, Bullet Time, you disgust me. Keep your hate to yourselves, please.

subbie?

# Guest 2006-09-03 17:38

thanks for all the hard work on your n64 emulator. who knows where the other n64 emulator would be without you starting it all

good luck

# Guest 2006-09-03 18:02

Lol, if it's "in the top 5", then it is #5. If it were 4,3, or maybe even 2, he would say "top 4, top 3, top 2" respectively. If it were #1 he would say "THE number one"... psychological goodness.

# Guest 2006-09-03 18:22

Pfft. No big loss.

Now if the homebrew community loses someone like Booster or Ahman, then i'd start getting worried.

Monkey, if you are telling the truth, good luck with your job. Hopefully you'll be able to create some cool software.

And if not, well i'm not too bothered about it either way.

# @Illegal Machine — Guest 2006-09-03 19:47

Don't worry mate, we've already found out who he is.

Name & adress. It's a small step from here to find out

the company he's working for. He said top-5, so there

could only be 5 options (If he isn't lying to us again).

If he's really working @ the top-5, than the

next release I'll make will be under his name..

# @128 — Guest 2006-09-03 20:43

you are a *****ing retard. why would he release a new piece of work under his name. you really must have landed on your head at some point in your sad life.

# thanks for all psmonkey ! — Guest 2006-09-03 23:45

thanks for all the time you spent FOR US in the homebrew scene .i was expecting a lot from iris and Daedalus i hope the others developers will make a as good job as you've done.

# Guest 2006-09-04 01:04

Well, how misinformed can you possibly be? Daedalus was already up and running before he started his project, just that StrmnNrmn hadn't released it...Go do your homework!

Also, Psmonkey contributed nothing to Daedalus, but StrmnNrmn past on information that enabled Psmonkey to get out of wireframe mode, and start showing something.

I am not saying that he isn't a half decent coder, i am sure he is not too shabby, what i am saying is that he wan't in the same league as StrmnNrmn when it comes to coding.

StrmnNrmn's emu was built from the ground up by himself many years ago, he's ported it over to the PSP and is presently optimizing everything to best use the psp's hardware, not too disimilar to PSmonkey taking Project 64 and porting that to take advantage of the hardware...

I think without a shadow of a doubt that Daedalus will attain top speed with sound in some games within the next 6 months.. I don't believe Psmonkey's was ever going to get anywhere near that due to his obvious lack of experience with the N64 hardware compared to StrmnNrmn's extensive knowledge of building the PC emu from scratch.

This is not a slight on Psmonkey, i have already said that i am sure he's an adequate coder, and i really do wish him the best of luck in his new job....I look forward to seeing a wireframe FPS on my PSP soon! Lol

Good luck for the future and thanks for being part of the scene!

Harry the Hampster.

your all GAY

# GOOD LUCK! — Guest 2006-09-04 01:57

Ignore the ***** flamers, pspmonkey! They're a waste of bandwidth. If your working for R*, try and get a look at the code for VCS, and tell us if it's hackable! under my name, if you must. ;)

# ... — Guest 2006-09-04 02:31

Illegal Machine and Erik R., and the rest of the people should be ashamed of yourselves, your disrespecting a developer who coded for hours and hours to help out the community, and if i were him, i would go to the darkside as you nerds say. And you should also take notice, that homebrew developers arent given any devkit or training from sony, and if they were, im sure PSMonkey would be able to make an awesome game by himself. PSMonkey is a very talented developer, and i wish him the best of luck in the Company he is working in. And I will buy his game.

# Guest 2006-09-04 02:52

WHAT A SELLOUT

# Queer! — Guest 2006-09-04 03:15

PSP-Monkey is a *****g any damn way...

# Guest 2006-09-04 03:54

Sad that you will be leaving. I swear if you make some crap assed game for the PSP I'll never ever want to hear your name again!

# Where's my Breath of Fire 3? — Guest 2006-09-04 04:08

So where's that Breath of Fire 3 translation we were all promised would work with the Jap version of the game? Hmm?

Bleh.

# COngrats — Guest 2006-09-04 04:32

# Meanies — Guest 2006-09-04 05:49

You guys. Stop spanking the monkey!!

I have never used anything he made or helped with, and as far as I know he never released a final anything, so I would be hard pressed to actually judge his programming skills.

I can say that abusing mod powers, and violating someone's privacy over hurt feelings does make me think a lot less of him though.

If he helps make some game in the future that I end up enjoying I'll probably never even know he had anything to do with it, but just in case. Thanks, I guess.

# registered — Guest 2006-09-09 23:11

I'm just curious why the registered users always play the "if you're not registered your comment doesn't count" card.

What does being registered have to do with anything at all?

I'd like someone to explain the actual logic and rationale behind that. Wow, you filled out a form that the unregistered users didn't, man that sure makes you more credible, and superior. (where's the rolling eyes emoticon when you need it?)

# monkey sucks — Guest 2006-09-11 06:37
