The short story is that he liked the thread a bit too much and kept it artificially alive for weeks. He'd bump the thread with an image or something, and later on he'd delete his post, and then he'd bump the thread again, and so on. The reason for deleting his posts like that was to decrease the thread's postcount and keep it further away from bumplimit. He deleted his posts even if they'd taken part in conversation threads. This made reading the thread later on kind of annoying, since every other post was replying to a deleted post.

People kept telling the guy to cut it out, let the thread die, and then make a new one, but he just wouldn't listen. Eventually everyone got so sick of it that they started spamming the thread to the bumplimit and beyond, to make sure it'll die.
By the end of it, the thread had lived from May 4th to 31st, and it had about 460 deleted posts.

I'd be happy to talk about bootleg consoles and all the weirdness associated with them. But the anon you replied to was right; the last thread ended on bad terms, and it's good to keep on lookout for low-content imagedumps or for posts getting deleted for no apparent reason.

Thanks for posting about this guy. I had never heard of him before, and I'm getting a kick out of these videos. I like that he has some new things to say that haven't really been covered before. The videos are pretty informative, and the guy's got some insightful comments too.

I was always aware that there was a lot of piracy in Russia, and I knew that other Finnfags would every now and then travel across the border to go buy cheap Russian pirate movies or clothes, instead of buying the expensive legal items that were sold around here. But before seeing these videos, I had never truly realised the full extent of the whole thing. Consumers genuinely mistaking pirates and romhacks as legally licensed games? Crazy art and game title confusion on the cartridge labels and in-game? An actual TV show spreading false information over which game's a ripoff and which one was genuine? Even pirated copies of pirate games? This stuff's insane, but also interesting and rather entertaining.

I wonder why the pirates were so determined to avoid showing Mario and Luigi in the label art of the Mario games, though.
