Well, This may just piss a few of you off

I am not writing this to anyone in particular, nor am I writing specifically about this thread. Just the same, it seems apparant to me that Queenzone.com has a bit too much negative turmoil stirring around the noticeboard. Granted, people may ask stupid questions (ie, "is Bohemian Rhapsody about AIDS?") and report hubs in which many download Queen songs, but we've got to try to get along, regardless. There is nothing about Queen's music that would incite or encourage someone to argue. Answer the stupid questions, deal with the fact that some people don't believe in trading songs which, perhaps, should be bought proper. I am certainly not critical of the current topic. I think that the internet is a wonderful medium for finding and obtaining songs that would near to impossible to find, otherwise. I also think that the majority of us, especially you Stepfords -hehe- have bought enough Queen CDs, books, etc. to more than compensate for downloading a few songs here and there. By the same tolken, for those of you who choose to download and burn entire CDs - rethink what you're doing. Spend some cash on a CD here and there. EBay is a great place to find rare Queen, as well as the better known CDs.

well Mike you must be very stupid, the Hub is Dutch and just like Kazaa it's legal around here.

RIAA wanted Kazaa to stop but it was Dutch also and a Dutch judge said that Kazaa wasn't the problem.

It's the same with the hub so i'm not afraid of the RIAA because i'm Dutch also.


B.T.W. Mike grow up, you just sound like EvanGP

Well I know Megamike from the time I was the main operator of the hub. Marco did not hack into your hub. I myself had access to your hub as well back then, because you provided me a username and password. Ofcourse Megamike didnt know it was me, but that does not matter.

Regarding RIAA ... I once put on a disclaimer in the hub (I talked to Marco yesterday and he told me he has it on the hub)

Marco can not be prosecuted for anything...

this was the original Disclaimer (

Compliance with copyright law remains your responsibility. And therefor I, the owner of this Queen hub, can never be held responsible or be liable to any copyright infringment at any any time by any user from any country.

-------

The RIAA can only individually prosecute people, but why would they since the hub is even promoted by Queenzone.com , and I am sure that Queen or their management know a little about this hub. But since dedicated fans still buy the originals, they don't worry ... I gues ...

Well, I think Megamike is full of envy of Bokkepoot's succes of the hub. It's his hobby, and at the same time it makes lots of people happy ...

<Edit> THIS IS A JOKE!!! DO NOT TAKE SERIOUSLY

And BOY, if you can believe the CRAP I have said so far you ARE way too gullible.... hahahahaha.. Even I get bored sometimes and need to liven things up.. Greg Brooks kinda beat me too it, but hey.. I had to do this.. to me it was fun playing the part of the villian.. and the best thing was, even a friend of mine said.. WOW, I can't believe you did that, I didn't know you were THAT upset over that.. the truth is.. I am not.. in fact I have nothing but respect for Marco, sure I was a little upset in the beginning, but that was normal.. But to set your minds at ease, you are right, the RIAA would never take my "email" seriously.. that was why it was never sent.. again, this might have killed any friends I made here, but to me all I was doing was having fun playing the part of the bad guy.. hey if Jake Britt can cause trouble for so long. I figured a good guy turned bad was just what you folks needed.. :)

SO.. relax, enjoy.. and take heart that all this was just some 38 year olds attempt at having fun..

I can just imagine all the heads going.. WHA? Megamike is saying this? No way...... hahahahaha.. But that is the power of the mind, if you are bored enough you can think up all kinds of crap.. enough said.. and oh yeah.. I am NOT going away, and this will NOT be my last post.. and if this did make me some enemies.. well... Bring it on.. I have plenty of Barry Manilow CDs to play..

<edit> Oh yeah, one other thing.. I STILL LOVE Queen... that is forever.. that will never change..

Oh my Lord. Depakote please for Mr. Mike.

"Alright, I said I wasn't going to post again, but Shit.. you people missed my point.. "

WTF is wrong with this guy?

Mike...GO AWAY.

Gee.. It would seem that you missed my last post.. there is NOTHING wrong with me aside from being bored out of my head and wanting to stir things up.... But.. I know most people don't bother to read EVERY post, just the ones they want to.. . :)

Oh well.. as far as your request of GO AWAY.. Nope.. I shall not.. Make me.. ;-) have a great day all..

a really bad joke, Megamike

MegaMike,you just such a looser,bokkepoot is doing a great job,just like the other moderators.If they have banned you,you did something wrong and not bokkepoot or any other moderators.Just think of what you did before you say it is the fault of someone else,and yes,bokkepoot got the right to delete your account,especially after what you did now to him.He is trying to do the best he can,he got a normal job too in life(only thing i can say about you,is that you are a little child of 8) so he doesnt got full time off from work to stay in the hub and to make it for everybody a great time,thats impossible.Just grow up before you insult someone,and if you get banned,why dont you leave it the way it is??You make everyone think that you are a little child then(yes you megamike) and that no one got a change to speak in the hub,but that isnt true.Just grow up and if i was you i would leave everyone alone,if they are hub users or not.And let people the way they are.

Oh man.. Hahahaa.. I am a child of 8? Yeah.. ok.. great.. cool..you know what, that is fine.. yes, I deserve this.. because This is the first time I have ever done the bad guy thing.. People that really know me know that I have a VERY twisted sense of humor, and that this was just that.. a TWISTED joke.. just something to rile you all up.. but for those who don't know me.. that is fine too.. all I can say is somehow.. someway, I will find a way to put my pants on by myself instead of having mommy help me...

and for the record, I am 38... Yes it was a bad joke.. but hey...if you can't shake this off and just say.. tsk tsk.. Mike that was bad.. then I feel sorry for you, you need to have a better sense of humor... who knows.. it MIGHT happen... but I will do you all a favor.. I will leave.. if THAT is what you truly want...

Call me stupid but I don't want you to leave, Mike. We were friends for years and I would rather laugh with you in the chat room again, you always cheered me up. I did not laugh about your recent posts, though. I just wait what's next...

Well.. That's 1 vote for me to stay and about 1,945 for me to go.. so. .I guess there's no question.. I STAY!!! YEA!!!!!

reminds me of fishing for compliments.You got my 2. vote, still.
