Unfortunate names in 'banding.

Just looked at front page and noticed that there's a new variant called Neoband. For real old-timers from rgra, that is an ironically unfortunate name... It does appeal to my ... twisted ... sense of humor.

I think that is deliberately exactly what you think it is.

None of the nasty things that you have said or implied about this variant are true.

I was around for the final throes of one of his alter-egos. Real old timer... you are making me feel old now!

lololol!!! Nick, FTW.
Ah, those were the days!

[Mondkalb]

A blast from the past.

[Therem Harth]

As the maintainer of Neoband, I would love to know what you people are talking about...

[Mondkalb]

Once upon a time there was a controversial guy with the name "Neo" on rec.games.roguelike.angband, a newsgroup in the good old days ("Twisted" was one of his names also).

If you search for Neo, Angband and newsgroup you will find some archived stuff.

[Therem Harth]

Oh, the guy who inspired the Paranoid Howler Monkey?

LOL. This guy was apparently trolling quite a lot of newsgroups. (If trolling is the right word.)

[Mondkalb]

Sounds familiar.

[Nick]

Here's an example... (well, kind of. you'll need to scroll up).

[Mondkalb]

Well, at least Timo changed his mind and came here finally.
