Westside's Apology

Westside sends the Tempers his apologies under the form of a letter.

[quote name='Westside']Dear Tempers:
As some of you may have noticed, I was banned due to my deplorable actions which led to AWOL of two staff members and my own banishment. I would like to start off by saying to my wonderful supporters, please do not hate on Costello, for he is a sexy man. He made the logical decision in the given time frame. I am sorry jdbye for my aggressive comments towards him, you know I :wub: you! Above all, I would like to apologize to Samutz for my idiotic actions on IRC. Samutz is one of the back bones of the current GBAtemp, his leave is simply sorrowful for the entire community.
During my time that I was banned, I was amazed at how much people actually cared about me. Even those who I have insulted before came to my side and aided me. I would like to thank everyone, even the people who left negative comments about me for making GBAtemp a large and wonderful community.
Some of you may already know that I’ve got accepted into Royal Military College, during the next four years, my schedule will conflict activities of my personal interest therefore meaning that I may leave GBAtemp after this summer anyway. I did not wish my last memory at GBAtemp to end this way, thus I appealed the Administrator’s and apologized.
Because internets is now serious business, many of you will see less dickpenis, claymore and donkeyballs, which by now is a good news to majority. I’ve learned that if a person calm down and rethinks their words, they will come out twice as flowery and half as offensive. Make no mistake that we live in a transient realm, and we are mere mortals. Our mistakes will die with us, our sins will die with us, but above all, our joys will die with us. It is up to us to make the most of our lives and learn to set aside our despondency and look for a stronger disposition within our souls. Poisoned hearts can be cured by moral conscience.

<3, Westside[/quote]

He also sent an apology to Samutz. Samutz replied to me asking me to unban Westside, which I think is fair. As I told Westside I appreciate this type of reaction, acknowledging your mistakes and asking for forgiveness isn't an easy thing to do, but he did it.

Internet drama ends here, Westside will be unbanned shortly.

I had a feeling this would all go in this direction, it's why I haven't been seen discussing it much. Glad to see everything is worked out. :)
 
I don't really know all of the people involved, but based on the fact that everyone couldnt stop talking about, they must've been one hell of a part of the community here.

Glad things are back to the way they were and people can move on.

Oh, and welcome back fellas :)
 
Nice knowing there's no hard feelings left.
Now we can go back to beeing just a happy, slightly perverted community once again.
:hrth:
 
Welcome back, Westside! Less donkeyballs and dickpenis will be a good thing, they sometimes got in the way of your more intelligent posts. Hope to see ya posting again soon
 
Mind if I say something?

We're always reminded to keep IRC and the forum separated, and that what happens in the IRC channel stays in IRC, and mustn't affect the life of the forum. And yet, here we have members threatening to leave the forum because of what happened in the IRC channel, and admins banning people from the forum because of IRC transgressions. I am not defending Westside, he himself admitted that what he did was wrong, but the way I see it, members used the forum as leverage in an IRC dispute, and amins used their forum moderation powers to intervene in that IRC dispute. Aren't both of those very much contrary to the "separation of forum and IRC" policy?
 
Great to be back guys, it's a hard lesson learned, however, I do not see this banning as a negative experience. Optimism has led me to see the brighter side of things, I believe now I have a more mature point of view around here now. In a way, banning me made a better person the way going to jail made Paris Hilton a better person.

Welcome back, I'm glad you think that way. Although, Paris Hilton went back to her old days now. Sure she wore a couple 'Save the Environment' shirts, but that doesn't mean she changed.
 
Hello again!

P.S. Glad for you to admit to your wrongs. But I found your last 5 sentences a bit cheesy :|

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    @BigOnYa i was legitimately trying to scratch my leg, this is reminding me of that cylinder post
  • Scarlet @ Scarlet:
    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be
