What a mess!

 

[phillv85]

It does sound like there's no easy outcome for this

Seems despite anyone's initial good intentions it always comes down to money and greed. Lets hope someone comes along and saves the day!

Wow that is very messy

 

[JohnnyChaos]

sounds like it would be an ideal time to sack off TG and push for a new gaming Mecca. Maybe somewhere in NW UK

Money and greed..... and dont like the new logo

I've lost interest in what was TG, no respect for this new crowd at all....it's a pity as what Walter and his guys did was pretty outstanding and there was a huge database of awesome scores over a variety of formats.

The Donkey Kong Forum is the new place for DK high scores and they have a great team verifying scores etc which is great if you play DK.

Bring back Walter!!

So Walter 'fled' to India........ Interesting.......
I lost interest when I worked out it would cost about $100 to submit my Berzerk 2600 record attempt.
It went stupid.
I loved the original database, I was on it all the time in the early 2000's..... I doubt it will ever be the same.....
Such a shame...

Walter 'fled' nowhere. He goes to India at this time of year, every year.

 

[OTTOTHEMADANDEVIL]

I spoke to Walter a fair bit when he has in charge of TG and he was always a lovely bloke.
I hope know one actually believes that rubbish that he fled to India after getting cash....
Slander!

 

[ZedEx48K]

I don't know why he doesn't take the value of his name and just start up a new site doing the exact same thing, everyone will pretty much move with him etc.

 

[OTTOTHEMADANDEVIL]

If I was Walter I'd devastated that they had tarnished my good name.
After all Twin Galaxies was his arcade and was where competitive gaming was essentially born, if not centralised... Years of hard work for the community to be ruined my money grabbers....
