Quote: DeMangoIf I was Ahigh, I would get the addy of the poster, forward it to Mission, and see if it matches anyone here. A disgruntled local that posts here is my suspect.
I could be wrong, given that my technical knowledge is nearly nothing, but I don't believe I can just pop in an IP address anywhere and see if I have any matches. Perhaps the Wizard or JB can, but I don't know why they would, what happens here happens here and what happens on AHigh's Board happens there. AHigh can certainly delete that post over there if he wishes.
I also don't know why someone would invade someone else's personal life and make such a claim, whether it is true or not, or whether or not the photo exists. There's obviously no shame in being a homosexual or bi-sexual, whichever is the case, (Assuming that post is true) but if someone is trying to conceal his sexual orientation, then there's a reason he's doing that, and for someone to post that over there is just a pretty disgusting thing to do, true or not, in my opinion.
AHigh has told many people here and there many personal things about himself. He has told us so many, in fact, that I must believe we know everything about him that he wants us to know. If such a picture exists, I don't want to see it because I don't want to know something about AHigh (assuming it is true) that he doesn't want me to know. If the picture does exist, and that individual posts it, then I say shame on him for his entire life. Again, any sexual orientation is good with me, I don't care who people are sexually attracted to, but to reveal something that shames someone else, on a personal level, is disgusting.

I doubt it. Most of the members here are middle-aged/older guys who don't have time for childish games like that. All of Ahigh's critics post in this thread, and they are a bunch of no-nonsense guys who—if they have a problem with you—will tell it to your face. I doubt they'd waste their time playing silly games. Plus, the other details don't add up. For example, why would somebody from here make accusations like that out of the blue? Also, that particular poster had written a message on Ahigh's forum before.
As someone else mentioned earlier, it's probably someone in the casino business who's tired of Ahigh's antics at the craps table.

That's how it reads to me, too. Thinks he's better than everyone at the table...attitude...kissed a guy!!

Quote: Beethoven9thAhigh revealed the guy's IP address, which is from the UK. I have a feeling that the dude probably used a proxy though, so he could be anywhere.
High? I'd put the odds of it being actually in Maidenhead, UK as about the same as the odds of AHigh posting on here humbly. :)
Plenty of proxy services around. I know at least two members here have talked about using proxy services, and it's dead easy to mask your IP if you need to. Pretty obvious really, and also pretty obvious Ahigh is pissing in the wind with his 'guesses' of who it is, and continued misunderstanding of the 'date' joke... I'm sure Zcore will be able to handle any fall out at his casino job...

I can't believe this guy. He obviously has some mental issues. I come here and a few other gambling sites when I'm at work during the week. For some reason he likes to bring my name up randomly at his site that he says is all about craps and not drama.
My morals, treatment of people no matter who they are or what they do and my reputation at my job and in my industry speaks for itself. He on the other hand obviously lacks in all of these areas. Very sad what he's turned in to.

I'll take narcissism for $1000, Alex.
Ahigh, since I know you're reading this, trust me, it simply isn't worth my time to go through all that trouble. Like the other forum members here, if I ever thought you were a Martian, a leper, or gay (none of which I believe), I'd say it to your face. lol
Plus, if I ever wanted to play a joke on you, why would I ever publicly state that I live in Vegas (which I have done many times)?? *facepalm x 2*
I've just read his last three posts on the subject "I think he did". "I didn't suspect him, but nice smokescreen if he did". "I never said I though he did it".
I'm awaiting the next chapter from Hendo himself.
Hey, Ahigh. HendoRobert posted that message on Sunday night (8/11) at 9:40 - 10:40pm.
If you want to bet me $10,000, I can (and will) prove that it was not me who posted that message. You want to know how? FYI, I was playing at a casino last night at one of my regular places during that time frame. The dealer/floors can vouch for me, and if need be, their surveillance tapes can back me up 100%. I'd love to make an easy $10K.
Waiting to hear from you...

Tut tut, Beethoven... stop creating evidence! It's your fault for creating evidence you did something... even if you didn't do that something, it's your fault for creating evidence that you did it, many weeks before you actually did it. Even if this isn't actually evidence, but a suspicion based on a supposition based on a forum post, it's actually evidence now because of the time stamps and because you said it would be fun to annoy him... ergo you must be annoying him.
Or something. :)
I sometimes feel like there's bizarre world logical arguments on here, but now... woowee.
Gotta make a buck somehow . . . anyhow . . . anyway.Quote: odiousgambitoff topic, but Ahigh's site does something that sends me to the moon : Links show up that auto-generate and unfortunately actually are ads or other non-sense unrelated to the post.

The funny part about all this is that I was one of the first to say I was skeptical of HendoRobert. Now I'm accused of being him!
was the guy wearing a mask. This would explain all
the friction between Ahigh and the Masked Man on
Ahighs forum.
It's funny how he's gone silent after I challenged him to put his money where his mouth is. I can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt (with video footage) that I didn't post HendoRobert's message last night, and I'd love to make a cool $10,000 from this whole ordeal.
And for the record, if Ahigh does accept and pays up $10K, I will donate $500 to WizardofVegas.com. I will also give $500 to the dealers at the Silverton, $500 to the dealers at Fiesta Rancho, and $500 to the dealers at South Point. I'm sure all of the craps dealers at those places would love to hear how Ahigh lost 10,000 smackaroos! lol

Ahigh yanked it from public viewing.
I think only my wife can vouch for my whereabouts, but she can be bought off.
he deny he kissed a guy or was he pissed that he was 'outed'?
He denied it and blamed Zcore13. Then he apologized to Zcore13 and pointed his guns at me. And get this...he claimed that if I don't meet up with him tonight, then I must have something to hide, which proves that I posted that message on his forum...LOL! But then, after I challenged him to a $10,000 bet and informed him that I could prove it wasn't me, he took the entire topic out of public viewing.Quote: EvenBobI missed the thread where Ahigh addressed this issue. Did
he deny he kissed a guy or was he pissed that he was 'outed'?
I don't understand this guy at all. He'll take a post I made back on July 4th as "proof" that I posted as 'HendoRobert', yet he ignores the obvious fact that I was the one today who initially stated that HendoRobert might be using a proxy. Duh!
I swear, sometimes I think Ahigh is too clever by half.

I was only 3rd? Thats disappointing. Its a joke, Ahigh. You
love to dish it out, as they used to say, but you have an incredibly
thin skin. I'm betting it was one of the casino workers you
constantly diss on your forum. People don't like being made
fun of about their jobs. You got somebody at IGT standing
over your shoulder and making neg comments? Think about it.

Me too. Probably someone from the Silverton, Fiesta Rancho, or South Point.
was EvenBob.
It's pretty obvious
when it is him
that is writing.
I tell ya, it was me. And to prove it, I dare Ahigh meet me at my local casino at 1pm tomorrow. I'll be wearing shorts and a t-shirt. And a hat.
Punch and pie.
Haha!
Yeah, Ahigh ought to just look at the writing in those messages and compare it to members here. HendoRobert seemed pretty angry in his posts, and I honestly don't feel that anybody here is angry with Ahigh about anything. Annoyed? Yes. But angry? I don't think so. It's gotta be someone he pissed off really bad.
I sure would love to win $10K though. (It would be the best AP play out there!) ;)

Ahigh doesn't have 10K, he plays for dollar bills.
$8 made and he's outa there..
I for one would welcome his return to the board: he has zeal.
The questions I ponder are:
1) Will he in fact choose to post here again?
2) If so, will he last a week before being suspended again, probably for life?
Quote: MrVIn a few weeks Ahigh's suspension will be lifted.

Quote:2) If so, will he last a week before being suspended again, probably for life?
I would take the Over, but wouldn't give any action as someone who could potentially exert (partial) control over the outcome.
Please pardon Ahigh from his sentence. Reduce it to 'time served'. Give him a shot at defending himself. It just seems unfair that he cannot respond to the myriad of critics. What say ye?
It would be more appropriate for us to refrain from insulting him here or for the Wizard to invoke some downtime for those who are insulting a forum member.
That said, the continual ramblings can be entertaining.
Quote: boymimboWhy? He's insulted the Wizard quite flagrantly on his forum and has insulted a good percentage of the membership over here. I think a lifetime suspension is appropriate.
He has every right to do so, and with impunity.
The Rules of this site only apply to posts made on this board, not posts made elsewhere.
At least that is my interpretation; perhaps some clarification as to the Rule would be in order.
Quote: boymimboWhy? He's insulted the Wizard quite flagrantly on his forum...
I actually think that he's jealous of the Wizard. He sees that the Wizard has a successful forum, people come to him for advice, and he is a well-known figure in the gaming world who is universally respected.
OTOH, Ahigh.....well, how should I say it politely.....he's none of the above.
Quote: SOOPOOMission and/or Wizard-
Please pardon Ahigh from his sentence. Reduce it to 'time served'.
Can't agree. In fact, it's actually pretty outrageous that Ahigh has accused a member here of going to his forum in stealth mode and posting a nasty message claiming that he's gay. It's mind-boggling too because the member in question (me!) doesn't even have a history of trading nasty insults with him or anything.
He reminds me of those craps players who are winning, but then they all of a sudden start losing at the exact same time a new player happens to stroll over to the table. So, of course, the new player gets blamed for the loss!
I'm not too upset though because Ahigh obviously has issues dealing with people in general (e.g., "reprimanding" dealers for talking when he shoots, arguing with floor supervisors, challenging other players to fights, etc.). But I definitely wouldn't mind taking $10,000 from him since I can prove that the ugly post on his forum wasn't from me. ;)

Quote: Zcore13...but he's his worst own enemy.
Totally agree. And I can't believe the stuff he pulls with dealers. Like the other night, he threw a bet on the table that was meant for the DC, but his chip fell short and landed in the Come area. The shooter then sevened-out. The dealer scooped up the bet because he assumed it was for the DC (which Ahigh even admitted on his forum!), but Ahigh stopped him from taking it and acted like it was a Come bet since nobody had said anything about the chip prior to the seven-out. So instead of losing his money (which is what should have happened), Ahigh got it back plus his "winnings".
I can't believe somebody would actually do this especially at a place where one is a regular. There's usually an element of trust between dealers and regulars, but not in this case. (At least not anymore!)
Yet Ahigh can't understand why dealers/floors get pissed at him... *facepalm*

I'm afraid you're batting 0-1 after some of the stuff he's had to say about this Forum over at his place, maybe you'll have better luck with Wizard. Maybe Wizard will have him back early, who knows? Either way, and I think he's okay, don't get me wrong, but his next ban will be his last.
Quote: Mission146some of the stuff he's had to say about this Forum over at his place.
He has had 55 pages of stuff written about him, mostly from those with crush's on him, for whatever reason. He has good reason to disparage this board. What's worse? LarryS spouting about John Patrick or Ludwick going on about Ahigh? Or DeMango wishing you knew the truth about the famous gaming author and The Captain?
Quote: DeMango...or Ludwick [sic] going on about Ahigh?
Ludwig was (falsely) accused of playing an ugly prank.
Quote: DeMangoEven in your signature....obsession.
How so? He made a silly accusation, and I'm mocking it. That's what I do.
To be honest, if anyone has an obsession with Ahigh, it's the fanboys who frequent his website and hang on every word he says. They're like teenage girls who adore the captain of the football team.
Quote: DeMangoHe has had 55 pages of stuff written about him, mostly from those with crush's on him, for whatever reason.
Oh, baloney!
Nobody has a crush on him.
He's merely a lightning rod.
As such, he is a disruptive force, and the preemptive use of the Nuclear Option may be in order.
"Nuclear option: Finally, if the site administrators feel that a member is so disruptive to the site, even while abiding by the rules above, a "nuclear option" may be invoked to permanently ban the offender. This will be used sparingly for only the worst of trolls. (Added 2/20/11)"
Close call.
