WinMXWorld is Anti-Community

The patch that the majority of the WinMX users have is called the WinMX Community Patch. However, WinMXWorld itself is not community driven at all. It is run by a sick, twisted, wife-beater of a man named Peter, or what everyone knows him as, GhostShip.

Let's begin with a history of how WinMXWorld was started. Back in 2005, Vladd44 was the central hub of the WinMX community, and its forum was moderated by a group of very control minded people who would delete topics simply because they did not agree with them, and edit other's posts to better their own arguments against these users. WinMXWorld was created to get away from this. It was created as a way for the WinMX community to gather together peacefully without all of the censorship and egos that had taken over at Vladd44.

However, power is a hard thing to manage. And GhostShip fell victim to power early on. When you take a look at WinMXWorld now, the website is relatively dead. It uses the same old web design from 2005 which looks like something out of the late 90's. It's not a warm welcome to anyone who views it. The forum software is another issue. The default black background, bright white text is very hard to read, and many users simply don't visit it because they can't get over how horrible it is. It has been suggested to the management multiple times that the website design needs a major overhaul, but of course they say it's "nonsense" and it's "not important". How can the fact that the channel you use to communicate information, especially during these network attacks be considered low priority?

 The forum moderators have also become just like the ones that were on Vladd44. If there is a post or topic made they do not agree with, they will either delete the entire thread, or lock the thread and move it to a section that regular users cannot view. Moderators such as Bluey tend to add replies days and even weeks after a thread has been locked, abusing his moderator status and posting just to get the last word in. In fact, Bluey never seems to have anything helpful or positive to add to any discussions. He uses very cryptic messages, and makes absolutely no sense at all in almost all of his posts. Why he and a few people are admins, I do not know... but they sure do not contribute anything at all.

WinMXWorld Scares Developers Away:

Back in 2005 and 2006 there were many WinMX developers, all with their pet projects, and all of them got along okay and were happily churning out new software and addons for the WinMX users to use. If you look at the WinMX developer community now it's virtually non existent. Bender, Emulator, Josh, Ouka, etc.  Everyone is gone or have completely ceased development of their software. And what about when new developers want to help with WinMX? Well they are scared away by the vicious ego driven GhostShip.

In fact, this is why the attacks started in the first place. Splintered (NB), came to WinMXWorld looking for protocol documentation and other useful information a developer should be given in order to program some utilities and software for the WinMX Peer Network. However, upon asking for this information, the WinMXWorld admins were as vile and cruel as usual and shrugged him off as worthless and that he should go elsewhere. Even after Splintered offered many solutions of how the improve the current patch and cache system, the admins wanted nothing of it and just ignored him.

So this is where KM stepped in. He came into the WinMXWorld chat room sharing the Primary TCP and UDP protocol documentation. Something that is not owned by WinMXWorld as much as they might want you to believe. They do tell us that they are not a monopoly and only a "small piece" of the WinMX Community. But why do they believe the are the holders of this important information? Seems very hypocritical to me. He was also sharing the Eagle patch and cache sources that were obtained through GhostShip's so called "friends" and "trustworthy" few. It seems those people were not very fond of this sick old man either.

As soon as GhostShip found out what KM was sharing, he added KM to the GLOBAL WinMX blocklist simply for sharing files he did not agree with. It's very ironic how WinMXWorld have on multiple occasions bible thumped in the fact that they cannot filter files sharing on the network. However this is exactly what GhostShip did. Due to the blocklist abuse KM decided to stage a protest just as the countries in the middle east have done. They simply stood up to their evil dictator leader (GhostShip) in this case to fight for equality and freedom.

This is not the first time GhostShip has blatantly been rude and told someone off for trying to help with WinMX development. Ina secret section on the WinMXWorld forum, GhostShip begged for developers to help create a patch to counteract the attacks that are still ongoing. However, even after Richy gave multiple genuinely good ideas, GhostShip basically told him off as though he was worthless and was just wasting time. Unless GhostShip specifically thinks up an idea himself, he will talk down to the people giving new ideas, and treat you like shit.


Here is a pdf of the secret thread where GhostShip begs for developers, and when developers do offer help, he is rude and tells them off for no reason other to show he is still "in control" with his huge rude ego even after fake retiring.

What needs to happen:

People need to realize that the attackers are not the enemy. GhostShip is the enemy. His controlling dictatorship known as WinMXWorld has been overstepping its bounds, abusing the blocklist we all have given our trust in, now defiled by a sick, twisted old man and his large ego. GhostShip needs to leaves WinMX for good so we can continue to live on this network in peace. Until that happens, it's likely WinMX will never go back to normal, even with a so called "patch".
