There’s some kind of problem related to the billing of this site (lol) meaning it might be going down for a bit shortly. Fear not, it will be returning if it does go down.

Update: all fixed!

MySQL 5 Inc

Posted on Friday, February 6, 2009 in Ramblings

Site5 is upgrading my server to MySQL 5 on the 9th, and there will be 15 to 45 minutes of downtime. I don’t know how well WordPress works with MySQL 5 so give me a moment to work everything out if need be.

New Theme Up

Posted on Tuesday, February 3, 2009 in Ramblings

I can dig it! To celebrate, I disabled all of the ads (they gave about 30 cents a month anyway.)

I’m also trying to Twitter a bit more (I honestly forget about it all the time.) Check out my feed at twitter.com/devlin.

3HitU is Still a Douchebag, Here’s Why

Posted on Saturday, November 29, 2008 in Ramblings

Rant warning and excessive use of a single profanity warning in effect,

So, I have a confession, and you may already know this. I used to play RuneScape. I worked at a fansite called Draynor.net with a friend of mine, and I was told of a person called 3 Hit U. Why is this significant? Because he’s the biggest douche you know. Here’s why.

Keep in mind, I haven’t played RuneScape in a year or two, when I left for Guild Wars, and then left for WoW shortly after. At the same time, I left Draynor.net, and I’m no longer affiliated with them.

He steals everything.

Dan stole everything we (Draynor.net) made for use on his own website, Leetscape.com. (they even ripped one of their designs from the actual RuneScape website.)

Here was the first: Leetscape stealing Draynor’s goal signatures.

Do you see any similarities? Like them being identical, for one? Yeah, me too. Leetscape insists they didn’t steal a thing; they don’t try to be smart and say they made them first or anything. They admit we had them first, but say there’s no resemblance, and, should there have been, it would not be copyright infringement since they are not identical. (so they know as little about copyright law as they do about coding. :) )

Do the goal sigs look similar? Yes.

Is that copyright infringement? No. Because they did not copy Draynor’s exact graphic.

Shortly thereafter, Draynor.net redesigned their website to a stylish navy blue. Within days, Leetscape completely andtotally ripped this design (please excuse the missing CSS. I assure you it was the same- look at the markup!). This time, however, they removed it the first time they were asked.

Now, look at Draynor’s current design and Leetscape’s current design. Do you see any similarities? (particularly the navigation)

He’s better than you.

Let’s take a quick scan of his Achievements page. Personally, my favorite is this:

First account to have 1000M coins (1,000,000,000 / 1 Billion).

This is because the first was notoriously Duke Freedom, followed by R2Pleasent and possibly by Unseen Snipr thereafter. Lastly, there is no proof of him even having this, let alone anything on his entire achievements page. Why? Because none of it happened, that’s why.

Now, that’s enough to make him a liar. What makes him a douchebag? This masterpiece at the top.

Since I started 3 Hit U, I’ve accomplished many goals in RuneScape, set records and even created history within the game, some people may use the word “Legend” for me, however, I disagree.

I’m just a normal everyday person just like you who plays RuneScape.

Thanks, Superman. You’ve inspired me. Now I know I can grow up to be a colossal douchebag, too! There’s some more epeen stroking on some other pages, listed below.

I’ve set myself many goals within RuneScape over the last few years and can proudly say I’ve achieved them all.

The word “Legend” is used far too frequently in this day and age of RuneScape, for those of you who played Classic I’m sure you’ll notice some of the “Legendary” Player Killers being slain by myself

The word of 3 Hit U soon spread throughout the land of RuneScape with a few great Pures getting made

We attacked, we both hit high, very high indeed, only thing I can remember from that actual fight, was him running to eat and then I caught him, hitting a Combination he couldn’t recover from, resulting in him dieing. [sic]

He doesn’t take criticism.

People know what he has done. Does he ever actually defend himself? No. He has his goons do it for him, or dodges around our questions when nobody is there to save him. I made a thread on his forums addressing these issues and found him responding “I don’t know what point you’re trying to make” before closing the topic.
