I will create three lines of prehistory. This will focus on my Paleo Designer line.

you have to produce at least two representative sample figures first before soliciting opinions in the forum. :)
(example: a T. rex and Triceratops [same scale], or a Mammoth and smilodon so people will have an idea how your style looks like)

I understand that you have to alternate dark figures with familiar figures. That there is a middle term.  :D

..on DTF I just can't count the number of people who announced a own new line of prehistoric figures without showing us even one of them..  ;)

Sorry, it's not personal; I hope you'll create your line of models soon.
Personally I won't give any suggestion without seeing a sample product.

Spoiler alert: The mystery model is a Tyrannosaurus Rex. When votes are token, The box set theme will be the one with the most votes. Let me know which obscure genus I should create in December and which theme for the box set I should do in December.

I am not going to do any flintstone models.
I Atokensis collectibles, I have a suggested list.

I don't care, I love it.
And when will the ban expire?

Lots of people think they're Jetoar! I wonder if there was a similar glut of upstarts on the original forum when the Mlodoch's FaunaCasts line debuted.

He got banned for having multiple acounts (and seems to be back with a new one).


In addition, his first account was most likely banned because of the repetitive, almost spam-like posts he made (and is still making) in the "Unique Species Specimen Discussion Thread".

I wouldn't usually make a post like this, but with how this is going I thought I'd share some thoughts I have.  I'm not sure this user's first account has been banned, as it seems to be "yutyrannus huali".  Their posts have been almost identical.  One example, where the posts are identical (Reply #224): http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=5942.msg183060#msg183060

If so, I don't understand why this user has made, what, 5 accounts now?  Why not just use the yutyrannus huali account?

We have proof that this user owned the now banned account "A. fragilis" in several posts this user has made

Quote from: A. atokensis on November 16, 2017, 09:31:52 PMBy the way, the topic started by me (under the name of A. fragilis) has a question for you.

Quote from: A. atokensis on November 15, 2017, 09:40:42 PMHi, I am back but under a different username. I will use sketchup to create these models. And I will also do an updated Dinosaur Train line and my brand will be known as Paleo Designer, my user. I will also do the following models:

From a thread started by A. fragilis

Another point is that yutyrannus huali's profile states that he is 12 years old. It is unlikely that a 12 year old would have access to the resources required to make a line of models. This would disprove your idea unless he is actually trying to fool us with this rumored line or yutyrannus huali is lying about being 12.


However, I think that there are many similarities between yutyrannus huali and the "A. (species name)" trio that make your belief plausible.

       
  • Both mention Jetoar/Paleo-Creatures a lot in their posts.
  • The similarity you pointed out.
  • Both mention the USL or post on threads relating to the USL a lot.
The main difference is that yutyrannus huali does not have the name of a species whose genus begins with the letter A. This may just be argued as a better way to disguise yourself, but that is not considering that yutyrannus huali's account was started before any of the trio and that it is unnatural for disguise techniques to get worse down the account.

I also admit that the sudden inactivity of yutyrannus huali and the few-day after creation of A. fragilis is suspicious and may prove that yutyrannus huali is owned by the same person as A. atokensis.

In conclusion, your idea is more plausible than unplausible, ableit with a few issues.

This user also never demonstrated any familiarity with the process of making figures, asking, for example, what Jetoar makes his figures out of. The disconnect between ambition and reality is entirely consistent with a 12 year old.

I agree with Halichoeres.  I seem to remember at least two other members who said they were going to start their own line of figures while being at a non-adult age.  Also, yutyrannus huali said they were going to make some figures in Reply #145 here: http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=5237.msg182755#msg182755

How much are they trying to disguise themselves at this point though?  In one of the posts you quoted above the user said they were the same person as "A. fragilis".  And this user's last two accounts both had the same name, "A. atokensis".  They also posted this earlier in this thread:

From what I've seen so far, in addition to "A. fragilis" and the two "A. atokensis" accounts, this user also seems to own the "yutyrannus huali" account and a now-deleted account called "gigantspinosaurus", if I'm remembering right, that came between the yutyrannus huali and A. fragilis accounts.  All five of these accounts were posting the same kind of things and came one after the other.

is there a possibilty to have this person banned permanently?

There should be some sort of security measure if more than one account is linked to a single email will get banned (Unless this person has more than one email) This situation is getting out of hand.It's up to Dr. Admin to take care of this

Halichoeres: Very good point. I can't necessarily disagree as it only partially contradicts my point. He may not be honest about making a line of models, but he isn't being dishonest with sinister intent, as I thought, but because his ambitions have clouded his rationality, which is, as you mentioned, common with children his age.


sauroid: I think that was the punishment given to the A. fragilis account and the first A. atokensis account. The answer to your question is yes, but there would have to be a moderator or the admin watching this issue closely.

I can't dispute this. I do distinctly remember one other member of a non-adult age who tried to make a line of models and a non-adult member who tried to repaint their models. And I think this post that yutyrannus huali has made does prove that he is most likely the same person as A. fragilis/A. atokensis.

I don't know either, although if they are trying to disguise themselves, which I don't think they are (at least not anymore), then they're failing miserably.


I'm not going to talk about the quote you mentioned as it does not contradict anything I have said (It doesn't appear to even be meant to contradict anything I've said). The A. atokensis who posted that quote was the one who came after A. fragilis, not the second one, who hasn't been banned yet.

OK, I didn't really know that the user gigantspinosaurus was relevant to this, so I now admit that you've fully convinced me that gigantspinosaurus, yutyrannus huali, A. fragilis and the two A. atokensis accounts were owned by the same person. I didn't necessarily think your idea was ridiculous when you made your first post on this thread, but now I not only think that it is a possibility, but likely the truth about this issue.


In the end, it's up to the admin and the moderators to sort this issue out. We may be able to convince them that a security measure is needed, but we aren't able to enforce the security measure. So I'm going to say that this discussion ends here, unless the next post relating to the discussion is necessary.
