For those who missed it, TonK's scam of the century

[kid aphex]

Mike is a strange guy.

I remember back when I was 19 or so, stirring up drama on ng.com; I directed my youthful angst at him, and a few moments later, he instant messaged me up spouting off what he thought was my criminal record, my address, my phone number, etc., telling me to watch out.

It's kind of obvious he's a bit of a nut, so I've always tried to keep my distance.
Still, I don't think there's a genuinely mean bone in his body. Just a bunch of crazy ones.

[TrevHead (TVR)]

Damn it looks like I missed some golden internet drama!

Hopefully Icycalm might pop over so i've something good to read with my cornflakes.

Icycalm, Icycalm, Icycalm

He just lost his appeal after he switched from hardcore game poser to fapping over cinematic games. Now he's just like every other idiot reviewer in the net, except with lots of insults and random Nietzsche quotes. Not as funny.

[KAI]

God, I miss those times. This place needs more Schopenhauer and misogyny.

[Raytrace]

haha man I feel total left out on this stuff - I feel like some guy who just wanders into some party and laughs along out loud at something and everyone just stares at him :p

[Tokyo-J]

to give some credit to shawn, i believe the deal to carry davidg's convertors and multigame aes carts was to refund the dude tonk/davidg ripped off.

So help him profit more and clean up his rep in the process? It's a win win. What does TonK get?

The only reason Shawn made a rare forum appearance was to get his piece. The only reason he gave a shit about the whole thing was for money, which is par for the course.

You are right. The only thing Shawn cares about is Money and World of Warcraft. I doubt he has touched a Neo Geo game to play in years. He only Collects Video Games not play them. Sliding them into the AES would scratch the Carts and decrease the value. "We can't have that he said" Let them sit and gather dust!

I don't understand the bump?

[BIL]

Did you print that yourself, or have more "ZOMG RAREZ TOTE LEGIT U GUYZ" been uncovered in a certain Canadian storage shed?

[GaijinPunch]

I miss the time in my life when I had hours to waste in here with you beautiful bastards.

[MintyTheCat]

How did this work out in the end?

I imagine with Tonk not being banned from the site that he was exonerated from the fraud?

[BIL]

Accepted line is that he was a hapless patsy, and a certainly dastardly Canuck was behind it all. \(o_o)/

Cheers - there is a hell of a lot to read.

Profiling wise that DavidG guy's disclosure entry is very dodgy - I won't say which part(s) give him up as I do not want to teach other scammers how to learn from his mistakes but you get me

[Strider77]

I don't understand the bump?

Because my mamma has a Futari BL kit.

[BareKnuckleRoo]

TonK once PM'd me asking me to sell him the plastic anti-static bags that came with my Futari BL Another ver. PCB kit. Actually, wait, he also wanted "the box, inserts and blue anti static bag/bubble wrap/foam square".

[BIL]

Probably trying to frame you up as his Canadian nemesis.

[Strider77]

You know he's lurking in the shadows now listening to you ... plotting on your virtual demises, facebook stalking you, setting up 3000 lbs Aero Fighter carts over your front doors with trip wires.

[neorichieb1971]

I used to go to ng.com years ago. Was quite a trip.

Sadly, forums are a bit of a con sometimes. The people trading high end games just want newbies to get into the action to make the price go higher. There is no value in a plastic cart/box and a piece of paper except what is perceived to be the value.

10 year anniversary.

[Ed Oscuro]

retarded [rich] people will always be retarded

It's taken 10 years, but finally society is catching on!

It's really weird to see myself driving the first page topic. I knew (and still know) basically nothing about the Neo Geo scene, lmao

[BIL]

This thread is a precious jewel of the shumps forum (■｀w´■) It must never be stolen, and most definitely NAHT counterfeited and subsequently sold for obscene profits by some Canadian fuckface and his homo thug accomplice!

(my senses remain elite - I had to stop myself from yelling "AY YO, I SEE DAT PHOTOBUCKET WATERMARK, WHY U LYIN" @ Strider's old AF3 pic )

[GaijinPunch]

Reading the front page I'm pretty baffled that Skykid still has more posts than me. You deserve to be leader of the pack, for sure, BIL. SK hasn't posted regularly for ages... or maybe he has? I never get out of OT. I think I'm still leading the pack with my almost flawless sales record. The admins really did me dirty when they didn't preserve the old Trading Station posts. Some good times were had in there... especially the one ding dong that gave me my negative.

Yeah, so it's Friday night and I'm at home typing the above. Pretty fucking sad.

[BIL]

I heard it through the gape-vine, Sky Boy got scurred badly and left when xxx1993 usurped he spot as Official Movie Critic of Shumps Prison Island, aka OT! Watch this space for the comeback arc

A mark of gallant service, my Lord - the cur responsible surely making a gift of his blown-out gape to the landlord as we type, its cracked and gnarled texture akin to a desiccated tyre lost in baking desert sands (｀w´メ)

lmao. I'm sure he'll pop in soon.

I wear it with pride. The funny thing is I was supplying half the forum at the time and they turned on this mother fucker at the drop of a hat. He didn't stick around much longer. The best part is, he didn't lose any money. I just couldn't get the item (or lost it maybe). Never charged him.

[drauch]

Never forget.

Skykid, you have been summoned. I stuck up for you and you abandoned me! Spread your wings and fly to the gape.

[BIL]

You heard the man, Sky Boy! This Christmas - GIVE THE GIFT OF GAPE
