Hawker Co-Owner HonorBuddy Violates Gag Order

[ShadeofAkama]

OK, off to see the wizard. Heard new videos are being made. We shall return.

[jimmys96]

tl'dr version?

Long time honorbuddy community dev(5 years) goes rogue and sells out premium honorbuddy stuff to a cracked honorbuddy emulating service, co-owner of honorbuddy finds out and shits on him for it. the rogue dev then goes butthurt mode and denies it, even though there's too many "coincidences" to be anyone else.

TL;DR on that, honorbuddy profile dev goes rogue, gets caught, gets butthurt.

Funny thing is that we know it from 1post/1rep member who created his account today, same day as Botanist new SVN was made

[ShadeofAkama]

Where are the coincidences. I have yet to see a single one. I see a struggling business sabotage one of their better accets. Lets face it, HB has a long history of bad budiness decisions. This is just one more.

[Trixiap]

Or it can be good decision because he really did that, for what he was banned. We will never know

[ShadeofAkama]

I personally don't care what anyone believes. I know the guy. He has helped me for many years. I will defend him until I have seen evidence otherwise. Nothing any HB staff member says can be believed they all have a stake in the matter and would lie through their teeth.


Who has something to lose, Botanist that has given away profiles for 5 years, helped anyone that has ever messaged him. All for free. or a company with money to gain/lose I believe the guy with nothing to gain.

So what I can gather from this is that Botanist was banned for STEALING from Honorbuddy team, then he cries about it and releases chatlogs that only shows that he is a thief or at least that HB team has strong evidence that he is.

Ie. what Jimmy said

[ShadeofAkama]

He was banned because he was accused. Saying someone did something and providing no proof, this isn't a 1700 witch hunt.

Botanist is Suspense. Everyone knows CodeEmplosion has hacked HB for years, now suddenly it Botanist, give me a break.

Botanist, stop coming here and talking about yourself in 3rd person, it's getting kinda obvious now :s

[ShadeofAkama]

I wish he would.

who is saying that?

[ShadeofAkama]

Let people make up their own minds. Pizza is here.

[Raistlin1968]

I am Botanist. I have actively asked those I know to stay out of this. I can not control what others do. I won't get into a debate about who did what. People will believe what they wish to believe and no amount of talking will sway their decision. I assure those that care, the truth will come out. My apologies to OC for the disturbance. Please feel free to remove this thread.

Thanks to the million or so people who have Skyped and PMed this link to me.

I've read the chat log and it appears accurate. Here is a copy in case it gets editted: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w6dr2j0w1t...20Log.txt?dl=0

Anyone who reads it will see I encouraged botanist to develop profiles, I gave him wow accounts when his were banned, I gave him gametime and generally I trusted him.

One of Botanist's many accounts was used for scamming us. I told botanist, he couldn't provide a sensible explanation for his behaviour and I closed that account. Botanist objected to having that account closed and withdrew his own profiles and started spamming his complaints.

I'm sad about it as I always encouraged Botanist and have given him WoW cd keys and game time to support his development. But theft is theft and once that account was clearly identified, it had to be closed.

While I appreciate the opportunity to discuss things, I am being sued by Blizzard in 7 or so separate actions so I hope you will understand if this is my last word on the matter on this forum.
