and parrots! parrots rule! some talk, some dont. and they have dutch colorscheme feathers!

And for all wanabee pirates :

uh yes... parrots rule. they always let me remember my 7th year at school where we got french the first year. my fav sentence was: "arthur est une perroquet" (damn... is it written the right way?).
being a pirate sucks anyway. still wonder how you are going to use you keyboard with a hook.

sharks are all around us yaarrr matey

@ShanetheTiger:

You are such an immature f*cking ar$e it pains me to see you being allowed to post here.

You say you haven't seen any logical reasons why piracy is bad. Haven't looked very far, have we?

Here's a few:

Piracy stimulates anti-piracy and all sorts of protection sh1t the rest of us have to suffer.

Piracy causes creators of _good_ things to think twice.

Piracy causes marketing types to raise the price to compensate.

Piracy causes marketing types to refuse to lower the price to compensate.

Piracy causes good things to fail which might otherwise succeed.

Piracy causes all sorts of nasty legislation to get passed which might otherwise not.

Piracy gives the suits valid reasons to do all of this sh1t - yes, really.

Your arguments are fascile, specious and is an insult to the fine work this BBS carries out. You should be ashamed.

yeah, shane get THIS out of your ass!

ttl: it is "Arthur est un perroquet". ;)

not_there: Impressive list, but you forgot one item:

Piracy gave us the demoscene.

I heard piracy is related to cancer. Not sure who invented that link though..

@sparcus: I don't know how on earth you managed to work that out, but I'd be interested (and maybe others too) in your reasoning if you care to post it.

not there: know your facts man: bla bla cracktros.. illegal.. bla bla cracktros became graphical showoff stuff more and more... more focus on that...these ppl splitted from warezgroups... bla bla cracktros became demos, intros... totally legal.. blalbla nerds, demoscene...

someone didn't do their homework on the roots of the demoscene. and it aint the regulars. yarrr

90% of the demos are still made with "illegal" tools anyway...

not_there probably thinks this is a warez site or some shit like that..

and piracy is for kids, real men can afford to buy their stuff.

ahh, I see, the forum got its high level discussions again.. haha

Shut up, you lousy pirate!

Avaste yeh!

i wonder what pirate pete (the christian privateer!) would have had to say about this if he would've still been around.. http://web.mountain.net/~voltz/, i urge you to click the button!

a kewl paradox would be farbrausch making the cracktros for their own games =)

farbrausch made games?

skreb: several! they even ported us racer to ps1 for davilex :)

not as Farbrausch tho...
but yeah, you might want to check this for example :)

at least the cracktro would look an awful lot better than the actual game in that case then. iirc, killerloops was a terribly ugly-looking wipeout clone :P

Pirate Pete? Extremly funny! This can't be meant seriously, or? He should rename to Pirate Cancer maybe? ;-)
