Also, what Ray says for himself (ALTHOUGH HE'S RETARDED). by Creexuls, a monster >:3 08/30/2008, 9:32pm PDT
(6:22:35 PM) Juh-howh Cable: What was your ratio on oink?
(6:23:51 PM) Juh-howh Cable: Wasn't it like 8 or 16 or something?
(6:57:27 PM) Juh-howh Cable: :(
(7:49:11 PM) Juh-howh Cable: Well bad news for you.
(7:49:12 PM) Juh-howh Cable: http://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=86389
(7:49:47 PM) Juh-howh Cable: I'm a little tired of being the retarded one on caltrops all the time, could you pick up some of the slack for me okay thanks.
(9:08:00 PM) Ray, a being of pure light: no I never had much more than a 1.0
(9:08:05 PM) Juh-howh Cable: Oh.
(9:08:08 PM) Juh-howh Cable: I thought you had like a billion.
(9:08:17 PM) Ray, a being of pure light: net 1TB transferred each way
(9:08:19 PM) Juh-howh Cable: Well I told people you had an 8 and they banned you for having too big of a ratio.
(9:09:14 PM) Ray, a being of pure light: I was banned for "burning" a 1.0 ratio account by using all the available ratio slack. Miniumu acceptable was like .65 so I could transfer 350 gigd gratis before hitting the wall
(9:09:24 PM) Ray, a being of pure light: then I made a new account and that got banned along with the old one
(9:10:19 PM) Juh-howh Cable: So you actually were banned then.
(9:10:24 PM) Ray, a being of pure light: yes
(9:10:25 PM) Juh-howh Cable: Als you invited me.
(9:10:29 PM) Juh-howh Cable: THAT'S A BIG RED FLAG
(9:10:38 PM) Ray, a being of pure light: two separate accounts, which wasn't prohibited by the rules
(9:10:43 PM) Juh-howh Cable: Minimum acceptable?
(9:10:51 PM) Juh-howh Cable: But I heard all you needed was to maintain a 0.5 ratio.
(9:11:53 PM) Ray, a being of pure light: yeah maybe .5, .65 what's the difference? Either way it translated to me taking 100s of gigs
(9:12:05 PM) Juh-howh Cable: No it's 0.5 it says on the faq. O______O
(9:12:18 PM) Juh-howh Cable: The guy even showed me a screenshot that he had taken of the faq page.
(9:12:23 PM) Juh-howh Cable: To prove it.
(9:12:40 PM) Ray, a being of pure light: what he says about it being easy to get ratio, that was true in the later phase, after they publicized the acceptable ratios (which were previously CLASSIFIED) and made a tradition out of the annual holiday free for all
(9:13:34 PM) Juh-howh Cable: So this guy is a newb.
(9:13:39 PM) Juh-howh Cable: [18:51] [lolotar (POWER USER)] I mean, do you want to make the argument that the Oink staff went around and chose random groups of people to be subjected to impossible ratio requirements? why would they do that?
[18:51] [lolotar (POWER USER)] what exactly is the motivation, and where's any evidence that it ever happened?
[18:54] [Grek] nice one lolotar
(9:13:41 PM) Ray, a being of pure light: "this is a problem on his end " it definitely was NOT. During the worst period you couldn't get takers on anything because everyone was afraid of being banned
(9:13:45 PM) Juh-howh Cable: There was some backslapping going on here.
(9:14:38 PM) Ray, a being of pure light: that was the best part about the holidays, not that you could download everything (which was pretty good) but that there was mad downloading everywhere and you got up credits for it which could be exchanged at 2x if you were only trying for a .5 ratio
(9:15:10 PM) Ray, a being of pure light: average time to 1.0 on any given torrent was about 2 months
(9:16:18 PM) Juh-howh Cable: Why aren't you posting this to the boards. >:O
(9:16:25 PM) Juh-howh Cable: NOW I HAVE TO POST THIS AIM LOG
(9:16:47 PM) Ray, a being of pure light: I'd rather you post it, that way people will actually read it
(9:16:50 PM) Juh-howh Cable: :(
(9:16:57 PM) Juh-howh Cable: Good point (I wouldn't read a post by you).
(9:18:52 PM) Juh-howh Cable: The guy definitely seems a little irrational and unwilling to listen to anything that deviates from the oink groupthink.
(9:19:15 PM) Ray, a being of pure light: yeah, how very uncommon
(9:37:17 PM) Juh-howh Cable: Oh yeah this.
(9:37:17 PM) Juh-howh Cable: http://img466.imageshack.us/img466/6518/oinkratiovx1.png

(9:37:25 PM) Juh-howh Cable: I almost forgot the link that he actually somehow had.
(9:37:36 PM) Juh-howh Cable: Like I'M GOING TO HAVE A SCREENSHOT OF THIS FOREVER JUST IN CASE.
(9:37:36 PM) Ray, a being of pure light: oh te faw screenshot
(9:37:48 PM) Juh-howh Cable: Ratio 0.005, lawl.
(9:37:56 PM) Ray, a being of pure light: "now that I can order prints online from walmart, it's a nobrainer!"
(9:38:00 PM) Juh-howh Cable: This is probably someone else's then. :(
(9:38:17 PM) Ray, a being of pure light: all my favorite websites franed and on my wall
(9:38:31 PM) Ray, a being of pure light: actually Caltrops should sell these
(9:38:38 PM) Juh-howh Cable: Hahaha. :(
(9:38:44 PM) Ray, a being of pure light: Just a screenshot of the main forum page for that day
(9:38:48 PM) Ray, a being of pure light: signed by ICJ
(9:38:56 PM) Juh-howh Cable: The rules page.
(9:39:00 PM) Juh-howh Cable: NO MOD SASS
(9:59:46 PM) Juh-howh Cable: [19:18] [lolotar (POWER USER)] I couldn't spend my ratio fast enough
[19:18] [lolotar (POWER USER)] All you have to do is check for popular releases
(9:59:58 PM) Juh-howh Cable: I didn't know you could spend a ratio, I guess that was a new one (added after I was banned).
(10:09:46 PM) Juh-howh Cable: Do you think I should post the entire IRC log?
(10:11:00 PM) Ray, a being of pure light: "spend" = download without intending to seed
(10:13:14 PM) Juh-howh Cable: Oooooooo.
