honestly? i have no clue. im a newbie so yeah... but i thought the other day i have read something like this as the author of a thread.

the reason why im searching for this person is because he uploaded the Oddworld Bonus DVD on some site, and abandoned seeding when i was almost done... since than nothing happens and im desperate to get that treasure.

the only reason im not buying it is because i cant. this DVD shipped only for a limited amount of time with Stranger's Wrath and now im pretty sure this is the only way i can get it. (for those who dont know this is a DVD containing all the movies from AO, AE, MO and the intro of SW + extra movies Hand of Odd trailers etc...)

i want to live with the opportunioty and ask anyone who can help me get this. im willing to buy it... i think :p

oh almost forgot! when i searched for his name in the search engine and started typing, two names popped up: Tosca and i think Tosca48 when i clicked on them it said i dont have enough privilages to access them or something

#1: Please don't double post. You can use the edit button on the bottom of your post to change a previous one.
#2: If there is no-one called Tosca on the member list, then they have never existed as Alcar is loathe to delete any members - even the spammy bot ones.

I must correct you, it is the narcissistic compulsion within me that makes me do it :p

The member list only displays members which have at least one post, so there is a great number of members who do not show up. Secondly, 15 members have been deleted on the OWF. I have never deleted a member myself, but over the course of our tenure, some have been deleted. I am still strictly against it, and no member has been deleted for a few years now.

glokstar, in answer to your question, there are indeed two members which you could be talking about. You would not have been able to view their profiles, as they were never activated by their owners.

I stand corrected. As usual, Alcar has left me feeling better educated than before he spoke to me...

glokstar 12-06-2006 06:52 AM

i see, i see, sorry for the double post it was late at night and didnt pay attention...

ill just give up on finding this person than... although im very angry! any of you knows a way in which i can get my hands on the Oddworld Bonus DVD? i have not seen it anywhere except for that one site...

Ah, since Alcar know everything there is to know about members, at the risk of reopening old wounds from the 2001/2 fiasco- why was Grid banned? I remember a while ago I was looking at his fanfic and wondering whether a PM about it would ever result in it being updated, but on his profile I saw he was banned. How come?

Are you talking about: http://www.oddworldforums.net/member.php?u=60

As he's not banned, although I do think he just seemed to slip out of Oddworld fandom. He used to run a Geocities website on Oddworld as well. However, the name rings a bell, are you not talking about another member with a similar user name (although I can't think of it off the top of my head)?

Never heard of Tosca... Alcar did you ever delete a member called Shrykull_2005?

That name seems very familiar...It's interesting to reference some of these members as "oh yeah I remember..." time sure does fly by quite quickly.

I have never deleted a member.

I did however, do a search for that member, and Shrykull_2005 is in the database. He/she never confirmed their registration via email.

He's the one, Alcar. I could've sworn the last time I checked that profile, it said he was banned. Or at least, I asked a staff member about it and they said he'd been banned. Weird. Oh well ,guess he just left.
