A message to Agent47 (RocketLauncher) !!!

To Agent47 (bellend)

You must be THE most embarrassing person on the internet.

Your God complex knows no bounds.

No matter who asks a question you are down their throats, ridiculing them or generally dismissing everything anyone has to say.

I can't EVER remember you helping anyone.

Why don't you do us all a favour and disappear from RocketLauncher forums forever and pass you "Super Moderator" (You probably gave yourself) title over to someone that actually wants to help people !!

You hate Hyperspin, now mock Launchbox ..... it's soooo embarrassing it's laughable.

Whoever put you in charge in the first place needs their head tested.

ps, I posted on here because as soon as anyone questions you on RocketLauncher you just ban/delete the post like the little bitch you are !!!

I used to be confrontational with him but it was a waste of my time and effort.

There are few RL members that actively help people and update modules. They're keeping the forum/community alive and for that reason I will not post anything to "upset" Agent47.  He is so petty and insecure that I'm afraid the wrong comment from anyone might make him lash out and harm what little community is left.

Confronting Agent47 is useless.  I don't think we are dealing with an individual who chooses to be so toxic.  He probably suffers from a severe personality disorder and I hope he is able to get some help.

Just let it go. Anyone with authority on RL forums is obviously aware of the damage Agent47 is doing.  There must be some reason he can't be removed or dealt with.  For better or worse we are stuck with him.

Do we really need the RL forum? We can share module updates here. Plenty of RL troubleshooting has been addressed on this forum.

Agent47 wants the complete removal of HyperSpin users on RL forum.  Let's leave him alone and help each other here.

The biggest issue is Agent47 only uses Rocketlauncher and no other front-end.  He obviously hates HyperSpin (and now Launchbox)

He feels obligated to respond to every question but he doesn't actively use front-ends so his response is always overwhelming negative or passing the blame to the front-end because he hasn't tested it.

Any one with the knowledge or desire to help sees a negative response from the "super-moderator" and will not feel allowed to contribute the solution.

If Agent47 simply stopped responding to posts negatively, forum users could feel comfortable contributing and helping each other.

It is a very short life and we all should be able to enjoy every single second of it. To have anyone treat you like dirt is wrong and should not be tolerated, it would not be here.

We only want fun, joy and that great feeling of nostalgia here, if you are miserable, grumpy and sad, please move along.

Oh my God. I sent a simple question on the Rocket Launcher Forum and he relied with “this looks like, "delete your old ass NVRAM" and follow a guide on how to actually use MAME, Delete the ini files while you are at it.” I replied with Oh wow is this what counts as help these days. And he removed my post. What a piece of work this weasel is. 

[gigapig]

Very sad indeed.

He usually deletes posts that criticize or challenge him.

Avoid the following topics:

Hyperspin

Retroarch

Mame (Software List)

If you want to monitor the censored/deleted posts, look at the RL Discord (# forum-stream). It will show everything he deletes.

I don't really get wrapped up in this stuff, but I'll add that my experience with him is a crap chute. Sometimes he's helpful, sometimes he's very short with me. *shrug*. By the previous mentions here, I'm assuming he is the sole owner of the Hyperspin and RL infra?....I hope not. Sole ownership is never a good thing, that needs to be addressed unless it is planned for this community to shut down; I would have a thing or two to say about that. 
Whatever the case, I would suggest having 3 owners, in case someone dies or something. 

There is a split community on Discord were folks are actively still creating bezels and such, that's all I'm aware of. I have concerns about file/longterm storage with that, but I don't ask questions. I do wish that there was a movement to revive this community though. This is certainly a place for joy for me. 

While I'm 'on one', I'll throw out that I do think there is a morality component to emulation. I've seen a lot of people deving or having questions for newer emulators and I think that is wrong and , to me, is an unattractive look to the HS community ...stay 1-2 gens behind the latest console or until the later consoles are no longer profitable for the creator. This all IS shadow IT after all... I'm not out to destroy anything that we all love.  Thanks for the read.

I feel compelled to clarify a couple of things.

1) Agent47 has nothing to do with HyperSpin, as far as I'm aware. In fact, I've heard it said a few times that he's no fan of ours.

2) The HyperSpin community isn't going away. Far from it, in fact. Stay tuned, because big things are in the works!

Thanks for clarifying...that does make me curious how the relationship between rlauncher and hyperspin is supposed to coexist successfully. Could that mean an Rlauncher v2 is in the works? I'd really love to see a simplification of adding systems. That makes me both happy and sad, if so, because that is SOOO much work I would have to do/redo...though I feel like an update of that platform is needed.... I recently ventured into LB territory....my honest opinion is meh, there are some core design choices that make absolutely no sense to me....though there are some features that i like. Something has cosmically pulled me back to this website, could be out of happenstance because I'm unemployed ATM due to economic pressures; that's a whole different story altogether. 

Anyway, rant over, I look forward to whatever is in the works from the HS community. My roots lay here as long as the vision makes sense.
