Well, as many of you know, Origin Now has been whored out many times on these boards. I have a request. Take down the page in your signatures. Chopes completely bailed on me after hearing that I found out he had done many investigations on me to recover such things as school pictures, report cards, and many other things. What a freak. The situation got worse for him after Murt revieled that Chopes still had admin rights torwards the site. Chopes even once told former member Pizzafarno that he would unban him if he gave him his Guild Wars account. What a scam. Chopes has banned me from everything OriginNow, including FTP access, admin panel, and Xpanel. At this very moment, my IP is blocked on mmorpg.com and I am using a proxy. As if the banner had enough time to announce my subnet, ha. Who knows....
Anyways, Origin Now is a bust. Everyone who signed up for their "hosting service" has been bailed on. All promises have been broken. Please, take down the advertising. Waste that stalker's god damn bandwidth.
-Thanks

Look, Chopes was even kicked off the mmorpg.com staff and EV guild for his wonderful practices. He is a scammer as far as I know, trying to sell stolen property. PizzaFarno, trusting a fellow guildmate(Chopes) to help him level his character on GW when Chopes really planed to steal the account and sell it to a another guildmate. Lets not even get into his "connections" with well know scammer on the net.
Wow thats crazy . chopes seemed like a nice guy too. Im suprised he did all those things.
I'm not surprised. For the sake of preventing drama and saving MMORPG.com some grief, we didn't pursue Chopes as a guild with that recent incident... although PizzaFarno did privately send logs to an MMORPG.com admin. It wasn't soon after that his mod title disappeared, and although Pizza never received a reply, I think it's safe to assume that we can applaud MMORPG.com for their quick handling of the situation upon receiving notice.
In light of his run-in with Kiamde, I'm going to attempt to drill into this community that former (hopefully) MMORPG.com moderator Chopes is *not* to be trusted. He was removed from Eternal Vigilance for attempting to scam a fellow member - wasn't successful because we caught on before the deal went through. He's suspected of a lot more, but there's nothing else that can be pinned on him. It's worth mentioning, though, that as you'll see in the logs below... Origin Now was previously a charity donation website, something to do with sending medical supplies/doctors to India, if you believe him. He denies it, but that's really just a matter of opinion considering his background.
Derfel and I had a final chat with Chopes after investigating. It goes a little like this...
Not to gloat in any way, but it seems like some key EV members have been involved with busting more than one scam.
Those being the debunking of the Mourning leadership and the unfortunate situation Chopes put himself in.
I think that's actually pretty cool, in an unfortunate but matter-of-fact way.

LOL so much for not bringing this up on the MMORPG.com Forums... I dont think the guys there will EVER know about it now
[..... just pulling your leg a little bit ]

Yeah, I was far too nice about it in those logs... we went the good cop/bad cop route, but meh
I thought we'd pretty much shamed him into submission at that point. Origin Now proved that wrong.
Question to those envolved- What is with the "force" that pulled ON? It seems like the spaming and the adversiting was just amazing by mmorpg.com folks. Pizza reports that he was bribed to spam for ON, How about the rest you? What was in it for you?
heheh yea, everything was fine until I revealed what chopes really did, glad you did find out the truth and didn't put the blame on me
I'm taking that out of my sig, and getting rid of that "owned by rathma" bs
WHICH was uploaded to originnow.com might I add...

WTF I put the link at the bottom of my sig for nothing. Ahh O well that site had a good run. . . .
On Time? On Target? Never Quit?
No. I was blocked on MSN. I have not spoken to him in days I don't plan to speak to him in the future.

Jesus that is alot of shit that happened. So rathma was the one that actaully went into your account? Did he get banned? I havent seen him around the forums lately.
I wonder who got into my account a while back? That is one hell of a counfusing story and now I understand why you changed your sig. So is Chopes IP banned?
On Time? On Target? Never Quit?
Out of this ordeal Rathma and Chopes were banned, however, it was on different standards.
Rathma wasn't INVOLVED involved, he was just changing stuff in my account,
chopes is a whole different story.
EDIT*
I hope this thread cleared up any confusion, and now that the whole story has been laid out I'm going to suggest a lock on this thread please.
Any other questions you can either email to me or kiamde, but I feel we've made public what needed to be.

I can only imagine how chopes knows my Ebay account name...
Rathma was banned. I talk to him daily. He only did it for fun and since you once told him your PW he decided to jack around with your account. He didn't plan on coming back to the boards. He has a lot going on at the moment.

No one knows my password. I never told him.
Especially the password I was using at that time, the hell I gave it out. Never. No one knows it but meddle, admin, me...and well, apparently him now. But I did not tell him.
Secondly, I changed it after that incident, apparently he still knew it because someone had edited a few posts after that. Unless that was chopes himself, could've been.
I've since changed it four times, I'm sure the current one no one can figure out. But I never told him my password.

What is/was Origin Now? (I dont look at ads & I block those that blink or are animated)
[Edit: ahh its in the last lines of 4:th post, missed that somehow. nvm]
How did Djin scam you>>?!??
and also Murt and Kiamde that is some messed up stuff..... It's good to see that your not taking it to Hard and Saying to Hell with MMORPG.Com. It's nice to see that you guys have some staying power... and are dedicated to this site...
You got the Big one....Murt

haha thanks, but I'd never say that considering the current situation
Craig and Ben provided prompt assistance on every matter presented to them.
and the thing with djin...well, he was here for a while, and everyone trusted him, (I mean everyone)
and at the time I was looking for a new television, well he said he had one up for sale. So we went ahead and set up a deal and I sent him a money order (mistake)
well he disappeared, blocked on everything, I guess he changed all his screen names for everything else as no one else sees him online anymore either, disappeared from the site, bla bla bla.

Still looking for that TV. I've got a 19" color for sale. $25 + shipping (no clue the shipping price). Nothing Wrong with it (except it is missing remote).
Really?! wow... And I guess that whole story that his wife was being held in Canada and he was in the US was a big lie then...
Wow And i was actually feeling sorry for him... My personally I've only been scammed once... i tried to buy a Copy of Socom 2 on EBAY and the guy never followed through... he eventually said that he sent it and I was lieing that I got it...
Never bought anything on Ebay again... but that was only $20-$30 down the drain... how much did the TV cost you?
