On July 28th at 06:52:49PM vladimir_l signed out of TPU for the last time.

At the time he went missing he was the biggest poster on the site.

What happened to him? Does anyone know? I'm curious.

He said he was going back to russia for a while when he was last on irc.

Right

Do you actually miss that guy RDD?

I don't "miss" him.

I have noticed a considerable drop in the number of postings, and the bickering between either him and Gian or him and psion was slightly(Notice the word slightly) amusing.

Yeah, I have to say I kinda miss him. He was a interesting fellow, the whole 10 million$ thing was cool (not mention clever).

$10 Million thing, explain please.

"At the time he went missing he was the biggest poster on the site. "
He was not! I am the 1337357 ph0rum wh0r3!

Yes, but you are an amusing forum whore. He was a desperate one.

Oh yeah, that guy who was getting close to getting an higher post count than me? Haven't seen him in a while. <wipeing blood from axe>

What about CodeRed?
He always had something to say.

About the 10 Million $ thing, well, he is Vladimir Levin, isn't he?
Here's the link for more info: http://tlc.discovery.com/convergence/hackers/bio/bio_09.html

Is that the same Vladimir ... And is that why he hasn't a computer in Russia?

I'm still here, just got back from a 10 day vacation in New Orleans. And Vlad was at no time the most active user, go back a few months and you'll see that I dominate them all

I've got 1-12, gian finally gets me at 13 months ago.

BTW gian, watch your back, Muahahaaa

He was the most active poster or useless posts, that doesn't make him the most active user.

And when I said he was the biggest poster on the site, I remember just around then checking the member stats for that month, andd he was at the top, clearly trashing either Gian or Psion.(I can't remember which one of them was second, but he was trashing both of them in raw number of posts)

I assume that's the same Vlad, both liked math, same name(I think?), both in/from Russia. About no computer in Russia, it does say they confanscated TV, PC, and some other stuff.

Whens he coming back from Russia?

If that is him, kind of humbling.
Maybe he was arrested..

Do you idiots have any idea the number of Russians named Vlad? I doubt Vladimir Levin would frequent TEEN programmers unite

why not?

Why would he?






(That "why would he?" would look better as an individual message, but I'm not a forum count hore)

If that was him then from the look of his photo I'd say he was at least 25 now.

However reading his comment about himself:

"Well I am running NetBSD on my computer and I quite like programming on C and sometimes C++. I do like the philosophy of Fotran and Java too , I know a bit of each. I programming ,girls (Sarah Patrick), poetry, good music and reading. I try to get the balance between virtual and real."

It sounds quite early pubescent like (or an immature middle pubescent): specifically the part of stating the name of his girlfreind/girl he s hopelessly chasing after.

On the other hand it shows he has been around quite a while: He has quite good knowledge of Gopher and Fortran

He also prefers C over C++, which indicates his refusal to move forward.

My freinds tell me I'm a good psycologist(Though I have no intention of going into such a "cool" la-de-da career), and I'll tell you, this case is a difficult one. If only he was around that we could ask the question "Are you 'THE' Vladimir Levin

At one time, I thought his profile said something about liking mathamatics?

I like Mathematics, what connection do you draw there?

It could just be that vlad was a troll and decided to disappear. Then again, maybe not. I think he said he'd be back in a few months. He said he was in the UK with his dad, and wanted to go back to russia for a while to get some stuff. Lemme grep my irc logs real quick...nope, I can't find where he said how long he was leaving for.

Jul 18 16:06:28 <vladl> me leaves so he can execute his latest CGI Lua script ... and wonders why people are turnin into animals ... is this trend ?

Jul 22 11:50:20 * vladl leaves for soup saying ?ahhahahah? and ?186 rule? and ?join the people who hate vladimir_l club?

I draw no connetion with you rdd.
But Vlad, and Vladimir Levin had quite a few similarities, maybe they're the same person, maybe not.

I hate to burst your bubble but tpu's vlad's real full name is Vladimar Lukyanov. how did i find this out????? just go to member sites click on the link to his site http://www.lwap.org.uk/
and check the site title. he got his index hacked out so the site wont open. hahahahahaha
whizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

That's a good point.

That was such a valid and USEFUL message: If you wanna make those sorta comments you have to add in an element of humour, try the concept of sarcasm.

(Does this message not only say something but hint it two?)

I was simple aknowledging the infromation that has been found, and to some degree, praising whizkide who apparently was the first to even look and see if the information was correct. Okay?

"he got his index hacked out so the site wouldn't open. hahahahahaha"

That sounds like Whizzzeeeeeeee'kiddy' is proudfully boasting that he did something there.

I was only suggesting something you could do in the future IntinitI. It was the only comment I could think of adding to the forum

It is possible that whizkide did something to vlad's website, though when you try to access it, it just states an error message to the effect of index missing or something to that regard.
About the humour and sarcasm; it appears the sarcasm in my post did not show through as much as was intended.

whizkiddy has that much technical knowledge?

Nope, but I didn't want to be the one who sid it and who he would start a flame war with to the magnitude of CHollerman's and Gian's (Though it would've been a quick way to be an admin if I'd have thought about it.)

Wow, you really do want power and respect here, don't you?

You think I want Whzkidddddddeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee's respect?

I just didn't think it was fair to have a flame war with him, he wouldn't stand a chance.

I've lost too many braincells in this thread.
Lock?

No Leave it, then in 10 days Vlad can say at its very bottom, Hi, I'm back.

wow! you guyz have an excellent sense of humor. and lamer, whether i have that kinda technical knowledge u dont know so what dont you just shut the hell up.
whizzzzz

whizzzzz'script'kidde

Target your attack at the right person. I never said anything about you. Unless you were referring to mop as a lamer.

/me breaks down and sobs

mop only asked a question and it took a loud mouth like you to do the damage. well its all good. no use making enemies here.
whizzzzz

ooooooh sorry lamer didnt even notice it wasnt you. meant Regretfulthatiwasborndreamer. no offense lamer.

/me pays for several years of therapy, subtly hinting to whoever it was to reimberse him

1) I'm changing that name soon (as soon as I can come up with one)
2) Maybe thiss'll do Regretfulthatiwasntbornasawizzzzzzzzkiddydreamer

Hey, if you are going to flame each other like this, just get on IRC and do it in real time. RDD is already on. No reason to waste message board space with stupid one line insults.

ooooh fiesty!

Wow, my first flame war. So this is what its like the first time ;)

If we do it here, it'll be permanently recorded, so I can show of what a good flamer I am to whoever may ask (joke).

OK Peace Whizkide, sorry about what I said. Truce, Lets stop this now. I don't want to lower myself to CHollermans level.

aight " waving white flag". no personal feelings aight. but i really wanted to say what comes next so here it is

well i have a suggestion for u dreamer. No therapist can solve a problem as nasty as yours, so i suggest u commit suicide, go see God and come back as whizzzzzzzzz. No point in dreaming about it when you can actually do it ;-)
whizzzzz
lamer aint no war here. this is a classic case of eloys and morlocks.

for the records, RDD's post was fiesty. Although I think thats kind of lost meaning by now.

Arrrgh I got confused I meant GGlad ThatIWasn'tBornAsAWizzzzzyyyyKiddddyyyyDreamer

Still Stop this now, before we end up like CHollerman and Gian.

i hate you all!! *tears* i do have nasty problems,maybe i will commit suicide....im a WANABE,maybe ill come bac as u whizkide....

huh?
Isn't this thread dead yet?

/me prays for it to be locked

"i hate you all!! *tears* i do have nasty problems,maybe i will commit suicide....im a WANABE,maybe ill come bac as u whizkide...."

Let me explain.
this is my *FAMILY* computer. My sister happened to realise that I don't sign out of here. Thats all that needs to be said.

Ah, that is anoyying when others have access to the same computer. [Try a keylogger if you want to get back at your sibling, it work[ed] for me]
Try Mozilla, or Netscape, they remember your passwords when you log out, but to log back in you have to give the browser your master password.

dis is RDD sis,thankz for tellin him dat by the way:)

Ah, well your quite welcome. Just by curiousity, how old are? And how technicaly inclined are you?

My sis is 14 and completely computer illiterate.

So is my sister! They should be friends!

Well, she isn't totally computer illiterate. She knows how to copy HTML without having a clue how it works. She spends three days trying to get one piece to work and then I fix it in five mins.

RDD's sis!!dat is such sh*t!!you know that was like A YEAR AGO!! and u didnt even fix it mr*i-think-i-know-it-all*it look u like an hour!!!if i was such an illiterate i wudnt be able to make my own website(its changed ALOT since u designed it!!!)and my front,i dont copy the codes for that!!it wudnt look like my own if i copied them!it wud just look like the typical crap dat you always see!! (that was an attack at my bro and i just thought id let you guys know that hes talkin crap)

ooppsss..never mind

So, RDD's Sis, what is the URL of your site so we can visit it?

whywhywhy won't this post die?!

Are you making a threat? You know that's a federal offense...

What? and making "a threat" is not a federal offense. For example "I will remove your access privileges if you don't stop forum whoring" is a legitimate and perfectly legal threat. And as far as I can see, there is no death threat...

Well, I'm surpiresed nobody has been changing anyones posts yet.

Gian, it was joke.

Got to add a post to this thread before it locks ^^

BTW, Vladimir Levin was arrested in March, 1995 so most likely not vladimir_l

Yeah, and the fact that vladimir_l's last name isn't even Levin.

My sis's url is:

http://www.dollzworld.iwarp.com

Please close this thread so people will make new ones that I am actually interested in posting in

Neither of the administrators can be bothered, so don't bother asking them. And if you want new interesting exciting ones, post them yourself.

Hey! Maybe he's really Vladimer Putin!

"My sis's url is:

http://www.dollzworld.iwarp.com"

Very nice pics! What program did you use to make them?

Just who do you think you are talking to RDD? A newb who has been here all of 2 months?

I think she used paint and something from http://www.muzicm.com/index.html?z1.html&0.

Its a dhtml drag - and - drop thing.

I thought a newbie was someone who had joined in the last month. And it must be getting closer to three months now. I'm only telling you the logical thing to do(I sugested admin thread locking a long time ago, they said they couldn't be bothered(perfectly reasonable of them).

And do you know what I've just realised? Vladimir will be back tommorrow.

I've been here 2 and a half years RDD, I stuck with this site when it was getting an average of one post per week. I'm and elder, respect your elders

And so would I, just cause you where born a few years before me.

Anyhow, lets stop this senseless bickering now. Vladimir's back and well, lets say he didn't come with the greatest of nes. I wonder what they did to him in Russia?

Perhaps he has more important issues to attend to.

I was being sarcastic

Two and a half years makes you an elder now? Pffft ... I've been here for at least 4 years, and Psion even longer than I.

Note: I'm not trying to offend you CodeRed, just trying to point out that there are those that have been here way longer than you have.

Oh, okay...

Yeah yeah, I didn't claim to be a founder, just an elder. Anyway, to get even
more off topic, I stealth modded my keyboard tonight. It was a black keyboard
with white labels on the keys, I took a sharpie marker (3 to be exact)
and "painted" each key so that they are all solid black and indistinguishable,
next I gotta go over the rest of the keyboard shell (everything but the keys)
in sharpie to match the shade of black (the sharpie marker is slightly darker
than the black plastic). Then I might paint the power key red and the control,
alt, and delete keys black/yellow diagonal stripes, like caution signs (in the
US anyways)

U really don't want other people to use your computer, right?

One should do that with all the keyboards at my school. Guess people would be quite confused...

I mixed around the keys on the keyboard, at first I only switched Q with R, while my mom was taking C++ classes (amazing). My dad couldn't find out why her program wouldn't compile, then he sat down and saw all of the "pqints". It pays to know how to type.

Then I just messed them around completly trying to spell something and my sister kept throwing fits every time she had to use that computer.

LMFAO @ mop. I don't need the labels, I figure I've logged at least 10,000 hours of computer time.

In a very safe way I come to about 15330 houres (7 years of 365 days with 6 houres each)

having a quick questions forum?

We always change the school keyboard keys about, they''re so easy to detach.

yeah... i don't mind that, but there are some people that leave the reattach part of the buisiness out, so half of the keyboards turn out to lack just a few keys...

We attached them alright, and for the unwary person, they don't have a clue whats going on when they type out gobbledygook.

if you really want to annoy people, you can set autoreplacments in word (assuming that your school uses that :). Every time someone types "and" [or something] it get replaced by "or" [or something]. Use your fantasy. (however remember: it's only fun once...)

That sounds good, but our computers are network based, you can't set any configurations permanently, they're wiped from your profile, so it'd be pretty much impossible (unless you're an admin)

Just wanted to make it a nice even 100 posts on this thread

/me strangles this thread then shoots it several times in the head
