_sighs_ alright, it was mine and now its not. I assumed falsely that my messages translated clearly. it appears again that theyre being read as slander. I didn’t do this for money. this is what needs to be undestood. it was something l did as an expression and illustration, which at that point I have right to walk away from. the links I posted show what I do now. I never liked homestar. ---

I was the writer. I sold them the site, then wasnt able to receive my funds because my mom, whos house I lived in, harassed me and I had to close my bank account for personal security. She just didn’t know any better, not to speak wrongly of her. I’m in texas now, and have a bank, but am still needing to lose her autotrace. Thats whats going on. ---

> [@Alan\_Smithee](#): > > What exactly did you write? all of it, problem is if I say that, im ratting mike out so by protection of the deniability of his company, my claim to intellectual property translates to insanity, which is fine since I think its garbage and dont want it anyway. furthermore I dont remember why im here. I appear to have claimed non receipt of payment but thats false. they released my funds to my new management when I rejected ownership of the property. I saw this thread in google and thought it might be fair to share what info I have, as the creator, in relation to your question. I stopped writing for the site in 2003, and they shortly thereafter stopped updating on account of having no writer. I think its unethical of them to lie to you for their own benefit. people that live in a lie have problems. theyre all sick chumps keeping score on each other. ---

of course, since I never gave them permission to publish any information about me, it all technically was and is their property, again, not mine. but you asked. ---

Hi everybody. I’m the Doper who resurrected this thread when new updates to [Homestarrunner.com](http://Homestarrunner.com) first appeared. I have started [a new thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=17832618#post17832618) because this one, in addition to being a zombie, became unfortunately encrusted with drama, which ultimately led to a bannination. I am not the OP here, so I don’t know that it is appropriate for me to request that this thread be closed. Nevertheless, I would like to float that idea for the mods to consider. I humbly suggest that we use the new thread for further discussion.
