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

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...

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
just_tex666( 25) $2,200.77 Jun-04-03 12:16:57 PDT
krazybaloo( 23) $1,800.00 Jun-04-03 06:15:16 PDT

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

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

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...

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?

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.

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...

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

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.

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.

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.

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

just_tex666( 25) $2,200.77 Jun-04-03 12:16:57 PDT
krazybaloo( 23) $1,800.00 Jun-04-03 06:15:16 PDT
just_tex666( 25) $1,500.00 May-28-03 19:02:22 PDT


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.

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.

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.
