Agozer Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Why was this 'Timmah' such a disgraceful person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I suspect there are a lot of people who sympathise with you Cinder. For those who don't know, 'Timmah' is the owner of a@h, user name of Teckel. There are lots of stories about his behaviour, but as I joined late, and never visited that often, I'll leave it to others to explain it - if they want to.

ken_cinder Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 It's not just his behaviour, but his sad attempt at exploiting the scene for financial gain.Now he's not the first or only person to do so, but his methods were at times bold and outrageous.

Weirdy Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 he used to be a mame rom burner, however, he'd charge a fee for the roms as well as the discs (if you didn't provide them yourself) but the point is he'd sell roms and that is a big no no also the site had a lot of ads; you could become a premium member by signing up for the "Real Arcade" service and saying that you heard of it through A@H and you'd get no ads and your attack system stats were raised higher ...but, he'd get money out of ppl becoming premmies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
