Ye olde smackdown has been laid upon Melvin's little dingleberries! Lyin'Tard's ball-lickers moved to BC files, in an attempt to get "The Last Bastion" series taken down. One of Melvin's alleged fans, "thelerker", tried to implement something Dante didn't want to do under his own name. (Dante has been trying to be a "good boy" under his own name so he won't bring further shame to his "community"). Fortunately, I informed the BC staff that this was brewing a while back:
Apparently, Dante is going to try to manufacture a claim against my videos on BC Files:
Dante Leonhart wrote:It also turns out (for those of you that go to bcfiles.com) that Poe's LB series is actually taking shots at someone ELSE on the internet - and not so subtly from what I understand. I had no idea of this, and I don't think Starforce or BR32 know that either. I don't have all the details, but when I find out who exactly Poe is ripping in his show, I'll let'em know (if they don't already know) so they can file a complaint with Starforce or BR32 and get that trash taken down.

With the nail already slammed into his coffin, getting his crap removed from BCfiles will be the ultimate blow.
Lo and behold, "thelurker" (he can't seem to spell his name consistently) decided to do just that:

dante

the staff over at bcfiles doesn't seem to know about what last bastion is about. don't worry though. i let them know and asked them to take it down.[/quote]

Remember kids, "thelurker" is NOT Dante, ok? :wink:

So "thelerker" went on BC files, and posted this under TLB5:

ok im not really a member of bcfiles. i usually only come here to get the cool 3rd era, bcs or km mods but after seeing bc32's comment i thought i needed to make an account and say something.

1st - the video. the amount of work needed to produce something like this (even tho its only green-screening and chroma-keying) is pretty high. i appreciate that someone can put enough of their spare time into something like this and i recognize that it was a lot of work. but though it was a lot of work, the quality of this movie still seems to suffer. the consistency of the video is lacking in some areas (such as the aforementioned sov transformation as well as several areas of choppy animations - though the fps stayed at 30 somehow.) however, i am not rating this based on how much work was put into it, or even the level of quality this video has (which IMO could still use improvement.) i am rating it on my opinion of the video as a whole and am giving it a 1/10.

Why? because, unlike what br32 may think, this video (the entire series, in fact) isn't really a 'rib' so much at st vs sw, but actually meant to insult a certain group of people. (this is from the author's own admission from a seperate board which can be verified.) some may not catch all of it, but the insults are there in slyly-hidden remarks and quips and character actions. i don't know about you, but if any of the characters in here represented Starforce or Mark, i doubt it would be allow to be here. in fact, because of the way the bc community is handled nowadays, i'm a little shocked something like this would be allowed. of course, its understandable if the administration of bcfiles was not aware of this.

so, given the spirit in which this video was created and because of the fact that this video was created as a means to get back at or even insult someone who doesn't even visit bcfiles I am going to rate this video as a 1/10 and am requesting the administration to remove this video series on the grounds i have just mentioned. i would like it noted that i am not a member of the party targeted in this video - only a concerned user of bcfiles who wishes not to see the bc community sucked into a large dispute with another organization known throughout the internet as have a long history of nothing but starting trouble.

thank you
The staff, being forewarned, has now locked comments on TLB5, and added this to "thelerker's" comments:

And here is the comment at the end of the thread:

I don't know what "Dramas" are going on off of this Site. Concerning Mr. Poe's works. But, from little I have seen in BC related forums? It is quite simply irrelevant here! This video series is being taken ((waaaaay)) too seriously by some of you. And, I'm not taking about our long standing patrons at BCFiles. What some of you are doing is considered Internet stalking.

You want to focus your attentions on something "REALLY" important? Try World Hunger, the plight of the homeless, unemployment, corrupt governments, rampant crimes, global warming, rare species extinctions, regional wars/insurgencies or the depletion of natural resources, destruction of the rain forests, a cure for Cancer, a cure for AIDS? But, don't sit there, posting and argueing about something so "silly and trivial"? In a 100 years, Who's going to care?!

It's coming "BORING" and tiresome. . . .

Here's Melvin trying to "stop" thelurker:

It looks like they aren't going to take it down without an email to br or Mike... lurker... please DO NOT EMAIL THEM. Let his videos stay PLEASE!!!!!

I want him to see for himself how pithy his videos are once we get ours up. PLEASE don't tell them anything about Poe's vids... let'em stay.

(Never thought I'd say that) lmao
Melvin actually thinks I put The Last Bastion up on BC files to "compete" with him! Yet he continues to sweep under the rug the fact that on a more unbiased (and non-Trekkie) site like Youtube, his crap isn't doing so well. And, that TLB1 blew away his first episode, ON a Trekkie-mecca site likeBC Files!

BTW, no need to go to Dante's site to confront "thelurker". He's right here, all "0" posts of him!

Barely a day after the whole Lyin'tard crap was posted here on SD.net, I was informed that this guy signed up here. And guess what? "thelurker" is from Louisiana Tech. Hmmm.....

I hate to say I told you so, but... :)

I wonder, what were they trying to pull with the "who is Poe trying to rip" comments? It's not exactly a well-kept secret what the series is about.

Not sure Dante can do much even under an assumed name. Quite frankly considering that among the top search results on both YouTube and Google for his name are the "DMCA Abuser" and "Loose Change - Dante Edition" videos I doubt anyone but his clinger-ons will take him seriously.

Should he ever try to use the videos he has made thus far as proof of his abilities, I seriously doubt that all but the most desperate "professionals" will work with him right now. I would state that clearly he is trying to distance himself from the affair having figured this out, but that would be giving him too much credit. Given that people have lost their jobs over a blog's content, he should have realized that if he ever hopes to take his hobby and make it a profession that he might want to actually act professionally.

BTW Dante, if you're reading this (and given your obsession over the matter I'm sure you are), in response to your question in Test 11: I suggest H.264 MP4. More CPU intensive (it takes me about 6-8 hours to transcode movie-length DVD quality media to an iPod-compatible MP4 on my abused Powerbook G4), but it scales nicely (said iPod-compatible MP4 looks good on both the little iPod screen and my 17" Powerbook G4 LCD [native res. 1680*1050]).

How stupid can Dante be. Scooter personally e-mailed Dante informing Dumbfuck that he was the "inspiration" for Captain Anderson. How can Melvin now be claiming to not know about this?

Dante Leonhart has never demonstrated that he is a "fact-oriented" person.
