It's no secret on these boards that a while back, I
criticized a certain project of Zion's, and was banned
for it shortly after - ridiculously immature behavior
by a mod. Can you imagine if I would BAN anyone who
criticized one of my edits? Ye gods. I would be a
spoiled child.
Zion has wanted to ban me permanently ever since, and
he's gotten his wish, as he feels these allegations
give him the right to edit and close any and all of my
threads and throw me out.
I am making this personal in that regard, as there was
certainly no reason to close my OCPmovie Megathread
over unrelated allegations true and false.
The mods have gone back and rewritten many, many, many
of my old posts to remove information.
I have been witchhunted and banned from these boards,
and for what?
For what purpose?
What I really can't understand is how this guy can go about his daily life pretending such nonsense is true. His arrogance is incredible.
#1, ocp was banned originally because of his childish behavior and reediting content back into posts that had been edited by mods. (And by childish I mean his mini-crusade of spam and trolling throughout half a dozen threads about how laserdisc was obsolete.) I banned him, yes, but it was in the agreement of Jay, Moth3r, and myself to do so, which is exactly the same thing with his banning now.
#2, Ah the "allegations". If you hadn't noticed ocp, I was actually giving you a pass at first because I thought you were just trying to sell your SWCE 2.0 to make some money for your move. I figured no big deal, just a warning and we'll leave it at that. But after we started getting more complaints about your selling habits, a bomb drops. I get a pm from someone with a copy of one of your emails regarding an inquiry for SWCE 2.0. As it turns out, not only was ocp selling his new DVD, but he's selling pretty much everything he has in his collection (including other fan edits and preservations from people like Moth3r, Wookie Groomer, Doctor M, Rikter, and dark_jedi among many others) for $10 each, $20 if it's dual layer, and an extra $10 for printed covers. Not only did ocp deny that he was doing this, but continues to act like this is only covering his costs. Give me a break dude. Blank DVDs are well under a dollar, and well under 2 dollars for dual layer. If you're trying to recover for your inability to burn media correctly, you still shouldn't be passing the financial burden onto everyone else. Like I said in the "megathread", I burn both single and dual layer DVDs all the time and I've only had about 2 bad burns in the last two years.
#3, this apparent foul vendetta I have against ocp is ridiculous. Sure, it's easy to just assume I hate the guy because he says bad things about myself and the X0 Project. Sure, it's easy to look at when he was banned and assume I'm trying to get rid of an X0 "competitor". The truth is I really don't hate anyone on this board. I'm really a pretty easy going guy and I could care less what anyone says about me, about my releases, or about the X0 Project. (And if you really must know, I'm an aspiring film student myself, one step away from being homeless as well, have about $200 to my name, and I'm waiting for my damn GI Bill money to come in so I can live past December. We all have hardships dude, it's called life.)
If you want to believe the X0 Project is just some kind of "publicity stunt" and it's never going to be released you go ahead and do that (the thousands of donated dollars we've received and endless media attention we're getting are great btw). If I was really trying to gain some notoriety from my releases, don't you think I would at least talk about them on this site? See, you didn't even know I did other stuff besides Star Wars, did ya? As for the X0, just wait and see what we've been able to do with the so-called crappy and obsolete laserdisc transfers.
