Ahahah!

They delete all his posts on ntcompatible.com and disabled his account!



BTW, welcome to the land of Smam, interiot! Wait until you meet my wife.

Still going, 14 months on. WindowsITPro comments were down for a little bit, but are back now? What happened?

Somebody should archive the comments, as it's definitely part of the record.

No, actually, someone should collect all the comments he's made and write a statistical AI program that spouts out random APK-sounding things. It would be difficult to match APK's strictly predictable behavior, but someone should try anyway.

If you ask me, someone already did.

A month or two ago I went to check out the "progress" (HA!) and was presented with a screen that said I had to be a paid subscriber.

I figured that was their way of ending the thread.

Oh, well.

I never did find out if APK liked strawberries.

You don't have to pay anything to look at the thread, and I assume not to post. Perhaps that was temporary during the "rush."

I can't decide if apk is really posting halfway lucid comments as an anonymous user to back himself up, or if there really are crazy people that agree with him. Perhaps he has a different computer for each personality, heh.

He spent the entire thread inventing anonymous personas to "agree" with him, so I'm not surprised he's still doing that.

What would be funnier is if he had to start inventing more anonymous personas to disagree with him, since everybody has basically abandoned the thread.

He may not need to make up arguments against himself. He's moved on to Slashdot now, and several silly people are modding him up (1, 2). Slasdot's karma system just makes the problem that much worse.

Those "supporter" posts are clearly by APK. His theories are so oddball that it's painful to imagine even one other person who agrees with him 100%. And nobody could read through all the comments without getting a gut feeling that something is very wrong with APK.

The "paid subscriber" blank page was up for more than two weeks. I didn't check other threads, I just assumed the admins had put the thread out of its misery. But it's all back now, and the cut-n-pasting is back in swing.

I'd really like to meet him in real life. I'd like to know how well he gets along with coworkers (if any), whether his mom thinks he should visit a psychiatrist, if he tried that, and if so, how it went. Though probably within 5 minutes, he'd either slug me, or I couldn't stand his outrageous comments any more.

Has interiot been introduced to the Mighty AYB?

Or we could ignore him, for he is unworthy of our attention.


Nah, that's crazy talk!

Bumpage, because there has been no APK reply to The Thread in over a month, which means, against all odds, that I got the last word in after all.



I'm so childish.

Apparently somebody compared insane Jack Thompson to APK - and that kicked off a discussion about APK in the gaming forum on Ars:

http://episteme.arstechnica.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/39309975/m/567004775731/p/4

I can only hope they avoid the wrath of APK's legions of lawyers.

[Jeremy Reimer]

The main difference between APK and Jack Thompson is that APK never appeared on CNN.
