I did something similar too... and not just once ...

I had an unlimited leech account on Funhouse BBS, so I never paid for anything. Not particularly proud of that nowadays

MazinKaesar · 30 December 2009, 13:57

I download from trackers and then I will "correct" ratio with some fake upload tools ...

Confessions,

I used to run a BBS with an ex-mate near Manchester

I used my Amiga and an old speaker plugged into the audio out to Blue Box to American party lines in Oregon, my mates and i used to get calling card numbers this way too

been one of the best uploaders at most US BBS's

on another note, do any of you guys remember Big Stu from Manchester? he used to do Amiga stuff.

i can't remember his surname but he lived with his mother in a huge house round-about the back of Eaton park.

i think that he was an entertainment manager too, he managed some sort of dance troupe.

Fried an Amiga 1200...

Fried an external Amiga floppy drive...

Fried an Atari 520STFM...

Sorry, will you forgive me Atarians and Amigans?

Fried our gaming computer (Pentium 75MHz, 8MB RAM) when I was about 7-8, but I was just going to "fix it!"

This made me laugh hard!

How is possible to make that kind of damage to external Amiga floppy drive?

I tried to use the drive inside my A500, then I flipped the DISK SELECT switch, then I turned it on... BAM! Magic smoke...

Started my first BBS when I was 10 years old (PCBoard). Eventually got bored with "normal" users and started peeking into the warez scene. A couple of years later the site was totally converted into an elite bbs (as we called them back then in the earliy nineties) with some major affils. I ran System/x (fully ami/x modded) at that time. Started doing old school ascii for demo/warez groups and still do a few asciis here and there (feel free to PM me if you need something done

). Got tired of the warez-scene when I started growing up though..

I tried talking a friend into naming his first child "Wilde Cooper"

When i first got my action replay mk 2, playing around with it and couldnt remember the command for scan (i think) so just guessed and type in samp (i think) dont know what it did but the external drive made an horedouse noise and never worked properly after that

Bloody Hell!! Someone else that remembers Big Stu!!

Did you ever get the chance to go around to his house? It was an Aladdin's Cave of Miggy stuff.

Was that BBS called LowLife by any chance.... or did you know Paul, who lived near the airport, that ran Lowlife BBS..? Also, did you know Mark (with the awesome buzz-cut hair) and Lavelle, who lived not too far from me and were boxing onto US BBS's on an A1200?

8bitbubsy · 12 March 2010, 01:18

Mark Knight the musician?

I ended up travlling up to Visual Studios in Dundee and ended up talking about Lemmings, i mentioned that i thought the PC version was a load of wank compared to the Amiga version which didnt go down at all well with the MD, turned out he was the one who wrote the PC version.

seuden · 25 March 2010, 11:00

Roflmao!! That's brilliant deicidal!

Lots of pirate Miggy games from Pontefract Market back in the day...

Majority of our PS1 games were/are copies from a shop called "Complete Computers/ing" in Pudsey. It had the facade of being just another computer shop if you didn't know any better, but really it was just a front for a guy and his mate to flog pirate games and modchips mostly to high-school kids.
They either got busted or made a hasty exit before they were!

The TV advert for F1 98 on the PS1 that was me driving the car (and the one for woolies as well).
