I've been Tangoed!

What can you say?

This was the reason I started to put copyright stamps on my blog images. Easily bypassed but requires a bit of work by the poster.

Plus I'm glad the images are hosted by Google and not my own server where I pay for bandwidth.

That man must spend every waking hour on that forum or elsewhere.

Yes, I've often wondered if he is actually just one person, or several working to a similar agenda.

I'm always ambivalent about criticising him for that sort of post. He never claims the work as his own and invariably provides a link, giving the original blog/website more exposure. However, he posts so much stuff on TMP that he makes it difficult to spot genuinely new stuff, often reposts the same thing again a few months later, and doesn't really understand most of the topics well enough to separate the wheat from the chaff (so what he does post is very much hit-or-miss).

I'm not ambivalent about him. He is a twat.
His spam on TMP (much of which has fuck all to do with wargaming)is but one of the reasons that place is shit.

Yeah, he's done it to me as well recently. Doesn't really bother me, as it brings more traffic on to the blog. I don't care what he does to TMP, as it's nothing to me.

There was a time when he just posted people's pictures, not provide a link and then just accept the praise.

I don't think its just one bloke as Baron says. More likely a bunch of East Asian ladyboys. The Argentina thing is prob a cover for the broken English. Don't take anything you see at tmp at face value.

He ruined the HaT forum before he moved on to PMT
