They're stil outbid by someone... :confused:

Maybe they're just waiting til the last second...

[Enverex]

5 seconds......

[MediaMan]

And who is krazybaloo?

Final bid $2,225.77

[Keebler]

Whoa! Who is krazybaloo now? He got it....


edit: MM snuck in there... :p

[mondi]

umm, who's krazybaloo? Were we rooting for him or not?

[Keebler]

We have no idea who that is...

[MediaMan]

It's not a question of rooting. Cytrix is one of our own Icrontian friends. It's a question of who Krazybaloo is.

[Keebler]

Wow, that was quite a jump in price at the end! Tex and co must've put in a bid of $2,200 or so, but krazybaloo's was still higher...

[mondi]

oh dear, this gets more and more interesting everyday

[Enverex]

Well, it looks like Tex's Snipe software tried to outbid Baloo, but it didnt work -

krazybaloo( 23) $2,225.77 Jun-04-03 12:15:18 PDT

krazybaloo( 23) $1,800.00 Jun-04-03 06:15:16 PDT

I thought Baloo was Citrix, but that wouldnt make any sence.

NS

[aZnWanksta]

Well, for a while, Tex made it seem like it was citrix, but now I'm not so sure.

aW

[aZnWanksta]

Yea, too bad, I really wanted them to get it too...

aW

[Keebler]

gawd, i hope it doesnt become a porn site or something... :(

Actually i think Tex was just bidding on his behalf

[Enverex]

Wanksta: It wouldnt be, otherwise he would be bidding against himself.

Whoever it is, is Canadian.

NS

[Keebler]

Mortin probably just messed his pants... :p

[MediaMan]

Krazaybaloo is in Laval, Quebec.

[aZnWanksta]

Yea, I know that now...

aW

[Necropolis]

The big question is....do we know them?

[aZnWanksta]

I don't think so man... if we had, I'm sure he woulda kept up with what was happening at AMDforums and showed his face or said something. I think it's gonna turn into some krap search site...

aW

[MediaMan]

Anyone have an ebay account and would like to politely inquire to Krazybaloo? Or ask him/her to introduce himself/herself to the motley and curious bunch here?

[Necropolis]

I'm on it.

[Clutch]

Time to sit back and wait for the new icrontic to show up guys :cool: Lets all hope for the best.

[Keebler]

/me pulls corners of bed sheets closer to his ears

me too Clutch...

[FudgePacker]

Too bad. I really wanted Tex and company to get it.

[Necropolis]

I just fired off a mail to the buyer, now to just sit back and wait.

The question is....what is "the best"? We could have gone from the frying pan to the fire. lol.

Keebs,

No need to go foetal on us. All will be well and we are on our way! :)

[Black Hawk]

Well incase you guys didn't know. Krazybaloo is Citrix ;) But it's a bit more complicated then that I think.....:scratch:

See, see!! IRC is good for something :D

[Enverex]

A bidding service hosted at www.auctionstealer.com was where I placed a bid to be sniped days ago for citrix. There friggin site has been DOWN FOR THREE DAYS and is STILL DOWN NOW so there was no way to count on the bid or CANCEL THE BID or anything.

We assumed the site was down and had to make backup arrangements.

****ing SOB's.

Tex


hahaha..... cough...

Sorry, I just hate people who snipe regardless of who they are, especially when they don't even do it themselves.

NS

[Necropolis]

That is more complicated, as we thought Tex was bidding for Citrix.

[aZnWanksta]

Yes, as in why the hell tex and citrix were bidding against each other... oh wait, I see the light!! The snipe program couldn't be canceled, therefore, Tex and citrix ended up bidding against each other. wow... sux to lose 700 bucks like that...

aW

[MediaMan]

So how do you explain Laval, Quebec? Or is that where Cytrix lives?

Back into the frying pan. :)

[primesuspect]

I guess they got bit in the ass by trying to use auctionstealer.com... They were sniping against each other before they were "in" together and the thing shot up over $1000 in 5 seconds. Mortin is one lucky dude. He just got $2225.77 for having his site hacked.

[Clutch]

Blackhawk is right, I just didn't want to be the one to spill the beans for anyone, got to love insider news eh? So don't worry, icrontic.com is not going to become some pr0n site or anything.

[Necropolis]

Thank god for that. That would have been a shame.

[Enverex]

Guessing: Tex was bidding for Citrix, then They thought it would just be easier for Citrix to just bid for it himself.

But then at the end as Tex wasnt the highest bidder the Snipe site kicked in.

NS

[aZnWanksta]

Yes, I think that's it, or they were both sniping...

aW

[Enverex]

If the Snipe software was more effective and it rose to like $12000 now THAT would have been funny.

Tex is just_tex666, Citrix is krazybaloo. They had to know that it was each other. Why didn't Tex just not bid? They knew that auctionstealer.com was active.

If it were me....I'd formally complain to AuctionStealer.com to refund their bid prices (the difference).

I'm very afraid to phone Tex now.


EDIT:

oops...just read post back one page explaining it all.

[Enverex]

AS.com is currently down which is why neither of them could turn it off.

NS

[Keebler]

ummmm....


OOPS

[TekGamer]

Its probably gonna become some french canadian moose lovers (not the sexual lovin) site. Full dedication to the welfare and discussion of mooses. :aol: :nudge:

We already know it was Citrix who won.

[danball1976]

I doubt that anyone in the forums was from Quebec. If that's true, its too bad that Icrontic is going to be something totally differnet.

[primesuspect]

Danball:

read the whole thread dude... Krazybaloo is CitrixMeta, who IS from Quebec, and who WAS a very active member of the forums.

[danball1976]

Sorry, I hate it when I don't notice that there is more than one page in a thread until after I post.

Now that I know who krazybaloo is, its all cool.

I think mortin is pretty happy (I guess) that he got that much money. Now he can pay some extra bills.

GJ man!!
heh, j/k good to see you made it

Honestly... he got nothing compared to what he could have gotten if he would have ran his site worth a damn... But he didn't and he won't.

I think Mortin is a good guy... but he threw away something that could have been much larger in the future if more effort would have been put in on his part. Meh... either way.

[GHoosdum]

Despite the fact that some of us disagree with Mortin's decision, at least it worked out for the best... if someone other than Tex and CitrixMeta had won icrontic, I shudder to think of the possible outcome!

[MediaMan]

As a Canadian I can say that most of us do not have relations with Moose or Moose as relations. I am, however, on pretty good terms with the beaver.

I'm going to stop before I cross too many lines and have to ban myself. rofl.

[Thrax]

A whole new meaning to "Spanking the beaver."

[GHoosdum]

Hey MM, can we still call you MM even though you don't capitalize the second "m" any more?

BTW, niiiiiice... I definitely enjoy a little beaver myself.

Watch it MM, you're treading on thin ice, eh? You'll get banned, eh?

[TheLostSwede]

I already see a bad trend here and that is going to stop.

DO NOT, i repeat DO NOT point out and reply if someone makes a post about something that have been written before or that someone might not have looked through the whole thread.

Is that so hard to understand?

[mmonnin]

Hey Hey Mm.;) I am still mm tho.

Pre Post Post:
I don't know 1/2 the S**t that goes on here. For instance I don't know what a folding team is (but I do know what a babe thread is :D ) I had to once ask what LOL meant. but I've also saved a few people from losing sleep too. I don't overclock but I do post in such a way that allows me to get razzed by some of you guys (this is a case in point).

Okay now please speak v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-ly to me because Iz needs it that way.

Post:

Why did an ex Icrontian buy Icrontic.com if they knew this site was going to happen? Is this a case of the stock splitting or is it going to be a family feud? What would be the differences between the two sites? I liked amdmb.com and I'll probably make it my second site. But am I looking at another site to join? :banghead:

[Aranyic]

It's was bought to restore Icrontic to her former glory (yes it's a her ;) spudz was a bit off). There is no feud, the plan is for these sites to support each other and help each other along.

[MERRICK]

Is this an opinion or are you from the new Icrontic? If it's an opinion, anyone else care to chime in? If you are from the new Icrontic, can you tell me if there will be a difference to this site?

I am only curious.

[Keebler]

It's complicated and simple, touchy and yet not... all at the same time :)

The Icrontic staff decided to start a new site under their own ownership. Icrontic was bid on by them to be used as a redirect to here.

Citrixmeta and Tex have a different vision for Icrontic than what we had there and have decided to start their own idea of what Icrontic should become. They also may not have wanted to see Icrontic reduced to a redirect perhaps.

Aranyic is currently busting his arse writing code for the new Icrontic.

[MERRICK]

Thanks for the insight.

Remember I have been away from Icrontic for about 18 months before I came back for the last 2.

To me it looks more touchy than complicated. And more simple than touchy.

I have a better idea now.

You may all now beat me sensless :aol:

Prime: Can you change your name to PrimeSuspect as opposed to primesuspect? It just looks a bit neater, need to keep neat, yes..... neat :rolleyes:

NS

[Black Hawk]

Chill out, NS.

[Enverex]

And you should have a capital "H" and maybe an "-" either side to add some extra effect.

For some reason I'm one of those dorks who thinks that all lowercase is cool. Like, somehow it's trendy and unique.

for example, the name of my company:

sarcnet industries, inc.

I never capitalize it. I don't know why. Maybe I have an aversion to caps because back in my BBS days it was far more COMMON TO SEE PEOPLE TYPING IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. I GUESS SOME 8-BIT COMPUTERS DIDN'T EVEN SUPPORT LOWERCASE LETTERS, SO IN MY FORMATIVE YEARS I LEARNED TO GET SICK AT THE SIGHT OF CAPITAL LETTERS.

AT LEAST THIS FONT LOOKS BETTER IN ALL CAPS THAN THE OLD COMPUTER FONTS USED TO.

THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION, NIGHTSHADE, I'LL BE SURE TO CONSIDER IT.

[Enverex]

Just makes it easier to read, that all.
