Hi, This is a shame that this happened. Big Albie was someone who was the rational one when other were making fools of themselves. Unfortunately the popularity of this site has also increased the numbers of jerks that come here, seemingly to just cause problems. If you are reading the thread Big Albie, my thanks to you for your insightful reviews and the class you showed. Especially when it had to be very difficult to do. David
I bet Albie will return, unless he decides to start his own site, which we all know he can do. He's probably just taking a break. I checked out the Battle of Wesnoth(not my kinda game so I never paid attention to the thread before) posts and it looks like it was a few guys talking trash to him about his reviews, not just the sushi guy.
BA was one of the best things to happen to TouchArcade. Finally it gave people a clear cut description of a game not just "Thisgame sucks I hate gameloft they are greedy little kids". Being a reviewer myself I found Albie as one of the best reviewers out there, being able to turn around VERY VERY good reviews in a short amount of time so he could help others make their mind up on a game. His imput and presence will be sorely missed on the TouchArcade Forums. On a funnier note, it does sound weird when 'the sushi guy' forced an iPhone reviewer into Retirement
Last I saw, he's doing reviews for A-p-p-v-e-r-s-i-t-y. Sorry, I don't think the site will let me type it all out. http://www.**********.com/author/albie/ He even posted his Battle For Wesnoth review there.
hmm, I just checked it out. You're right I saw his review. Not a bad lookin website. Not may people in the forums.
Yes, I know but is there really any harm showing it here? It's for informative purposes only. I'm not trying to advertise it at all. In fact, that's the first time I've been on the site in a number of months. All I'm doing is trying to inform the rest of us where Big Albie has gone which I don't see any harm in. But I apologize if I broke the rules and won't whine or complain if a mod corrects it.
If anyone would like a link to Albie's personal website (all his reviews) let me know and I'll PM. I don't wanna post it here because I didn't ask him if he cares whether I post it yet. But his website is set up nicely.
Well I'm not trying to act like a mod or anything, just saying it'll probably get deleted if one sees it.
It's a competitor site. I would if possible. Thanks. Yeah, I'm hoping that it won't because I didn't post it for advertising reasons but I would understand if they did.
They pretty much relentlessly spammed the forums until we censored every variation of how to spell the URL. We have many people who post here from competing sites who don't have problems following the rules.
Oh, I thought it was just because they were competitors. StP? I thought StP was fine. Like StP_Tim. I actually see him here a lot and he's actually a pretty good and well respected member in my opinion.
StP and NoDPad are competitors, correct? I ask because like you said, neither of those sites are banned. Kunning is from NoDPad, and yeah Tim is from StP.
