    I take that back, he was banned.

    My version is that the last nail in his coffin was the "Did they die" game. (If you dont know what it was, it was a thread where you could post a picture of a wrecked car and the others would guess if its occupants died).
    This version may be incorrect, so I would like to hear your opinions on what led to him being banned, too.

    That might have been something that worsened his reputation, but as far as I know, the very last thread he made before being hit by the banhammer was a Hopper vs Roamer one.

    He made some of the stupidest threads like the best mod 2016. And spammed it on the screenshots thread. Then he acted like an asshole when Ninetynine first made the VM thread and he replies with "no need, this will be part of my d15 pack".

    didn't really like him. he said he was gonna do that little mod contest thing and the modders that won each month were gonna win $20. almost everyone said it was a bad idea, including me.

    He violated the TOS repeatedly, so he got a two month vacation.

    UPDATE: apparently, he made a new account while i was sleeping and spammed the forum with racist stuff. Earned him a permanent ban.

    I'm glad he is gone. Putting the game on steam got the game to get found by new people but also brought in (special kids) that are annoying and bump dead threads. I have got many pms from joshtheawsome wanting me to give him mod remakes early.

    I am now confused. TDevs comment about the racist alt. account makes me wonder if IbishuPessima was Josh or not, I thought they were separate but equally annoying users.

    I do not think we need to discuss this topic any further.
