CSPickup Closes

Posted by Ripper at 21:49 9/10/2002.

In sad news, it seems that CSPickup, a gather service offering fast, quality and entertaining gathers has unfortunately closed down. TeppuM tells me that the deciding factor in shutting down was simply lack of time to keep it going. Here's the statement:
#CSPickup : Closed 09/October/2002 :
Was good fun while it lasted, hope you also enjoyed it seen as it was made for you ;D
Thanks to TeppuM for coming up with the original concept and Striker for coding the bots and to all the admins for there support and help.
#FastVision (James^ Andy^) - Thanks for everything wouldnt of been posible without your hosting.

- Sy
Well, it was good while it lasted.

I didnt use it that much, but i did on sunday and pld 2 or 3 good gathers, was a unique service, hopefully they will keep the codes, so if requested in future, or sponsors come along, that they can relaunch it! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

A month ago during the summer it was awesome. Played a lot of gathers and had a lot of fun. But as the weeks have passed I've only attempted to play 3-4 gathers, three of those being called off because someone 'forgot' to turn up :[

It was a good idea and was fun while it lasted. Gj to those who put in the effort to make it work :x [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

You're a f***ing twát really. It even says on their website that he turned the Q3pickup idea into CSpickup on the requestion of Liquid/Mangiacapra. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I read it on the internet, so it must be true!

cspickup was around in america a long time before it was in the UK, any clown that reads cs nation can tell u that [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Yeah and everything was fully automated from admin-mod, and everyone had unique logins done via wonids with many sponsors. Sure. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

My original point which you missed (cos you're an illiterate t**t) was that it never claimed to be his idea. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

er I wasnt having a go at anyone for actually taking the idea from america, that in itself was good, but saying that the original concept was invented by teppum isnt true.

Im not flaming anyone, I dont think any of my posts have personal insults etc as I wouldnt stoop so low ;) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

[quote]lol teppum coming up with the original concept
whatever[/quote] by saying that i meant the registering system and all the updates compared to random ppl just joinin a channel and typing !addme

features such as:
automatically finding an empty server,
auto recording demos,
registering,
auto admin,
and all the other things bascially came from him... [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I was saying nick^ was brown nosing, and how have I "f***ed it all up for everyone else" they can still see what you wanted to say, as well as my opinion, and they are free to make up their own minds! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

T can you actually read? IT SAYS ON CSPICKUP'S OWN SITE THEY DIDNT INVENT THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT. You're a bit thick really, aren't you? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

im not refering to the website (which I havent seen) but to the statement on this very page!

and to question my reading ability is a bit silly isnt it :/ [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

had some gg's using that, although quite a few were spoiled by c**ks who added themselves and didn't show for the game, will be missed, hope to see it return sometime in the future!

is it not possible to keep the bot and one server available and stop updating the website etc? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

"and to question my reading ability is a bit silly isnt it :/"

Not really considering I'd said the same thing twice before and you hadn't even bothered to read it. Sy is right saying that the system is original - no one else before had had a fully automated system. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

id say it was silly, as ive replied to posts you have written, how could I do that without reading!

as far as im concerned this has met its conclusion, I agree with what Sy said regarding the new features that teppum and others made, this is not the 'original concept' of cspickup though is it, which is what is stated in this article and what I took issue with. Do you understand yet? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i don't think the argument is about cspickup, i think it's about nick generally being argumentative, and a c**k. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
