iSV shuts up shop

Posted by Richard Goodwin on 09:29, 29/6/2001 |
 
Aaron Timbrell has announced that, after seven years service to the RISC OS community, iSV will no longer be releasing software for the platform.

The cutoff date for orders is 29th June; after that some of their top titles such as DrawWorks and StarFighter 3000 will be made available from APDL. The company will continue to trade under a different name, but will concentrate on Windows database and web products.

There is no need to smear Tarquin.

Looking at the IP address the account was used from, it resolves to an NTL customer in Norwich, which is consistent with it actually being Tarquin. So yes, he will resort (and if you look at the URLs in Peter's post, has resorted) to this kind of childish trolling.

It could, but I doubt there's anyone who'd want to smear Tarquin. He does that well enough by himself. Plus given the fact that he's altered the content of his website based on this thread (the comical OS documents linked to in earlier posts are now gone), I don't think there's any doubt it's actually Tarquin making a fool of himself again.

RISC OS, too cool for Javascript.

His website tells me he's a devout Christian too, which probably gives him enough motive to go around calling other people Jews. Don't know why he feels the need to single out Dave Holden though.

Wow, extreme thread resurrection.

*fetches popcorn*

OK, do continue.
Erm, not being funny here but shouldn't you be doing something about this rather then just further adding to the flame? You do have Admin/Mod rights here don't you?

I'm completely outraged about what is being said by this idiot. Here we have a decent guy (who ran ISV I assume) that had spent his time supporting you guys and has decided that he wants to free up his time on something that's more productive. Nobody can possibly live off creating software (or in other cases hardware) for obsolete/specialist computer stuffs like Acorn RISC machines onwards. Tis degenerate clearly has a total lack of respect making personal attacks and blatantly racist comments that is being ignored. Infact worse still actually being allowed to happen. Can't he be banned and/or this thread/his posts deleted?

TIB has never had a policy of doing deleting posts or threads, even those which are obvious trolls. In fact, in some instances, it's led to much enduring humour.

^this. Plus, if you don't want to see his posts, you'll find a "Block user" button under his posts which will hide them from your view.

For an insane moment I decided to visit Tarquin's website. You could hear the electrons being wasted!

Is there a secret area on there that makes sense or a new style sheet for the churches page (it's unreadable) or even an update for the Omega page (that would be funny!)?

The bullplop on that site goes well with the bullplop he's posted here (assuming it is him - the speelings though arenut as bad thow). Both an utter waste of bandwidth!

It's nice to see RISC OS' favourite euroseptic, right-wing populist and UKIP canditate, Tarquin Mills is back. Please tell us Tarquin, how did the lawsuit turn out? (http://www.drobe.co.uk/riscos/artifact1543.htm)

I hear the legal bill was quite substantial.

How is RON (Riscos On Netbook)?
Actually I am a Far-left socialist, the far-left
are against the EU. The OFT look like they have agreed to investigate M$ and Intel in seperate investigations. The legal bill was no problem. As am going to print the 1611 KJV (AV) Bible that is still in Crown Copyleft, I need a licence, most wrongly think it must be PD. Rob Maxwell suggested as a joke lose a crown copyleft court case as this makes it harder to get a license. The OFT's website is crown copyleft, legally controlled by HMSO who's HQ is walking distance from my house.

It is said that ROL need Psion to give more technical details of how their hardware works before the OS can be ported.

I understand that he's making an arse of himself and letting it happen is a sort-of reverse psychology but it seems just plain offensive. Just my 2 pennies I guess.

is it your place to make comments about someone's religion, and do we even care about your opinions?

I don't...is there no admin, to remove these posts?

according to Philip WEBSTER.
Why don't you call yourself CJE Micros as you are them instead you dicided to call yourselves after a member of National Front, Colin WEBSTER.
Then you claim my church members are racist, how many WEBSTERs have you ever heard of.
Using clones (other fake names) to attack people on forums is well known techinque that fails. The sad individuals doing hope it's seems like people agree with them by having clones. How many of the other people are clones of CJE.
As being Christian means being a "Troll" Paul Beverley should stop "Trolling" in his religious editials and stop being a "Troll" according to CJE.

Good grief! It's some mysterious conspiracy!

The other obvious Webster that springs to mind is WebsterXL, the web browser that was sold by R-Comp.

R-Comp and CJE must be one and the same! Andrew Rawnsley is obviously just be a 'nym for someone at CJE, or vice versa. Chris Evans would be the obvious likely person, but he employs an Andrew: Andrew Conroy.

Therefore Andrew Conroy and Andrew Rawnsley are one and the same person. Have you ever seen them in the same room at the same time? Well, yes, I have as well, actually - but one of them is probably an actor, paid to pretend to be whichever one of them it is, in order to fool us all.

Yes, that must be it!

And note how Andrew's last name is Conroy. Con. Roy.

That's clearly how this all started. Andrew Rawnsley needed an alternative identity to con someone called Roy.

What more proof do you need?

Meanwhile, the real world beckons...

I love it! OK, I'll bite...

Trolling has nothing to do with your religion. Trolling has everything to do with you being an arse on the forums though.

There may not be many Websters where you live, but there are plenty up here in the north.

I made no such claim about your church's members.

Surely the Roy in question must be Roy Heslop who ran CTA Direct (amongst others) which also happens to be based in the Manchester area near(ish) R-Comp. So, in fact, it can be proved that all RISC OS dealers are, in fact, the same person/company.

CTA Direct made the RiscStation, R-Comp make RISCubes, RISCbooks and ARMinis - PROOF!

Since Acorn made the *RISC*PC, it seems likely that they, too were part of the conspiracy, and were, in fact, one (or all of)... iSV, APDL, CJE, R-Comp or Roy Heslop/CTA.

I'm just not quite sure where Paul Beverley fits in... I'm sure Tarquin can explain the last piece of the puzzle.

Um, still runs - or at least did on Saturday.. However, my imagination has been known to run wild on some days, so I guess it could have been someone else... Sure did look like the man himself though


CTA Direct made the RiscStation, R-Comp make RISCubes, RISCbooks and ARMinis - PROOF!
Oddly, I think there are still a small number of boards still with Roy, so makes would be more apt

Sectarianism is my guess. Paul B is a well respected member of the ever dwindling community whereas Tarquin is just, well, I'll let you shove your own adjective in here wink

I knew people were going to say that, but the software is named after NF's Webster also.
