So, that's it, no more ray_MAN in the near future, dont know how many of you care, or ever spoke to him, but i know i did, and ill miss him, ;(;(

 

[Varg|Hund]

Indeed, he was talking to me as it happened (what can it be, a week, maybe more?). He then disappeared. Logged off. For a long time, it seems.
Seems he managed to get on one more time

This, this is sad. ray_MAN was important. An important part of the community.
He will be missed

 

[bliink]

man.. that sucks!, getting the internet taken off you for having friends on it... internet-only friends can be real friends too!
how old is he?

 

[Sui]

i wondered where ray man gone... despite crush telling em on msn thismorning, it still feels like a big blow ;(

imagine losing everything you had on the internet, in one quick action of justice (or non-justice)? im not going to say anything about his parents, because its understandable that theyre worried about freinds on the internet, but its still rather dissapointing that it could happen so quickly.

 

[Dedalus]

that's just flippin wrong. i applaud his parents for epitomising everything that's wrong about the baby boomers.

i'll miss you ray_MAN, take care mate.

 

[Shippi]

.

 

[sHm0zY]

man i didnt knwo him but that sucks hard man.. i feel bad for him... my parents coudl care less if i had freidns on the internet.. they know i have lots. if they took that all away id b eliek wtf...

 

[Brian Damage]

What the? How'd he end up with parents like that?

Poor dude.

 

[el Chi]

man.. that sucks!, getting the internet taken off you for having friends on it... internet-only friends can be real friends too!
how old is he?

It's a shame that the media has decided that every other person on the internet is a paedophile.
I'll be honest with you; I tried to explain these very forums to my mum and she certainly seemed somewhat uncomfortable about it. But she hasn't made an issue out of it so I doubt it bothers her that much - after all, I'm too old to be attractive to a nonce
Perhaps it was more that they were annoyed at him giving their home number out over the internet?
Even so, their punishment seems harsh. If you punish your child in that kind of way you're not teaching them a lesson, it won't be "for their own good", it'll just cause the children to resent you.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Where does he live?

This is a crying shame, not jsut because its ray_MAN but because people like him don't deserve that for as el Chi says, the media's bad press.


I'm sure he will be able to get them back everntaully (Not in 7 eyars) but this could be the last we see of ray.

I guess there is nothing we can do, since we are also "from the internet" and therefore don't count as friends or even real people in their minds. I bet if they could just sit and talk to one of us for a minute, they would see what we are really like...Maybe they wouldn't like it but they would at least know we weren't all peados.


Do you reckon he will be able to get access to his email at any point?

 

[Varg|Hund]

Do you reckon he will be able to get access to his email at any point?

Probarly. School starts soon, doesn't it? And anyways, there's always friends houses.
It's impossible to stop someone from accessing the internet entirely.

 

[Varsity]

Imagine having such closed-minded twats for parents. Ugh.

 

[Majestic XII]

This is terrible. So this is why you asked me if you talked to ray_MAN? Didnt talk much to him, but this isnt fun at all...

 

[ComradeBadger]

;(

Tis more than a bit harsh. And pffft quite a few people from these forums have my mobile number :E

 

[Gorgon]

hmmm, sad one of the coolest members has gone. 100% sure he will come back in 5 years when HL3 come out.

 

[Varg|Hund]

I dont know his, but isn't it common procedure for parents to forget these sort of things after a couple of days?

 

[RoyaleWithCheese]

It is sad. Sorry for you Ray_Man!

But yeah Varg|Hund, I remember a similar case with another member (forgot his name) where his folks thought he was gay after they read a thread in the forums. The took his priviliges but after 2 weeks he came back.

 

[HatRabit]

poor ray_mam ;(

 

[Gunner]

Hmmm at least he can always go to a cafe, it's not the end of the world you know.

 

[eraser]

Wow man . This truthfully sucks. I really hope you come back soon . I'll miss you man ;(.

 

[C-O-N-Spiracy]

"Plays TAPS for Ray-MAN"

Didnt know him but i feel his pain.
My parents found out about my net friends but I didnt get it near bad as he did.
I've been talking to this one chick i met online by accident (long story) for almost 3 years now, weve met and everything.. probably gonna go see her again soon, hopefully.. but yeah man that sucks about being stripped from the net.

 

[thehunter1320]

I... I... no.... what...

i ussually have something to say in these... ;(

 

[NJD2003]

Well don't you know guys, the internet is the Devil. Atleast thats what my mom thinks.

 

[Wesisapie]

hey? are you guys like 12? my mum wouldnt care if i told her i had a friend from the internet. in fact i already told her about one and she just acted like it was normal.

 

[Synthaxx R-or]

That's just .. wrong. Damn yuppie parents.

Luckily i'm in the position to cut off their internet connection, since they both have no idea how it works and i set up the network.

Usually these things work themselves out once you get a little older.

 

[The Dark Elf]

Wow, another I'm leaving thread involving Ray_Man, whats this now, FOUR times?

Please, this is getting really lame. Every damn month he does one of these and its become the classic case of the boy who cried wolf.

Sorry but I've got no sympathy for him, he's joked about it and fooled people into thinking he was leaving so many times just to see how many people care, then comes back and pretends it never happened, and now its really happened (allegedly, but I'm putting my money on it being Bull again)

 

[NJD2003]

You know what you should do Dark Elf. Ban him from the forums.

 

[Varg|Hund]

You know what you should do Dark Elf. Ban him from the forums.

WHAT!? WHY!? It's not his bloody fault that his parents banned him! :angry:

 

[Sui]

Seriously Dark elf, that post is not gonna make you any more popular. This isnt just about him leaving a forum, this is about his entire internet privileges being cut... dont you have any sympathy for anyone?

 

[Letters]

Oh, the drama!


No one's parents will enforce a punishment for any more than a month... just watch...

 

[Recoil]

dont you have any sympathy for anyone?

He once said my models would be nice

No, seriously, I cannot disagree with him on this :| but I don't know about the backgrounds... (of this forum etc)

 

[HatRabit]

Don't like my moderating? Call 0800-I-WHINE and leave a message.

I tried calling but I got some old guy from the local library. I asked for The Dark Elf and he said it was a great book :O

 

[Gunner]

Seriously Dark elf, that post is not gonna make you any more popular. This isnt just about him leaving a forum, this is about his entire internet privileges being cut... dont you have any sympathy for anyone?

Yeah and it's not the first time apparently.

 

[RoyaleWithCheese]

He does have a point though. I don't know Ray_Man that well but if he bullshitted the forum a couple of times before, (1 that I know of) this might well be some attention seeking again.

anyway, let's wait and see.

 

[Maxi]

Wow, that sucks.

Anyone live near him, that's quit muscular and who's in a biker gang? you should go 'persuade' his parents to letting him on the net again.


(who said video games doesn't make you violent? )

 

[Sui]

Sorry, that came out rather harsh... im not saying dark elf is a bad mod im just saying he could be a little more positive.

/me sees a pattern occuring....

Deja-vu?

but seriously, we all love you
you even have an appeciation thread

I'm not in a bad mood

But when someone keeps doing leaving threads then coming back and by his own admittance does it to see if people like him. Then why should I feel sorry for him when its just another popularity contest.

The other guy who suggested he be banned is right. He should.

Honestly guys, the only reason why some of the rest of you have been shouted at for leaving threads IS because of Ray_man, so the next time you get a slapped wrist, remember its the guy your feeling sorry for here who's fault it is having abused the whole leaving post not once, not twice, not three times but four times.

So no, i can't feel sorry for the kid when his past behavior points heavily towards this just being another made up story. Think about it, he gets one of the others to do it for him cause he knows if I caught him doing another himself I'd ban him in a second. So instead he does it on MSN or something where he knows im not watching.

He's not the poor done by kid some of you seem to think he is, he's a very lonely very young little child who needs constant attention.

I'll only believe it if his mommy calls me and tells me its genuine.

 

[Brian Damage]

Blimey, now I'm really confused...

 

[PunisherUSA]

Sounds like my parents....

O SHOOT!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO- *CONNECTION LOST*

But seriously. 'Ask for permission to use computer' 'no games during the week' blah blah blah. Good thing I have M/\|) 7ACT|XZ
