Hey everybody. Some of you may know me alot of you might not. Im a career programmer and ive been an avid gamesalad user for years since its beginning days. I used to be extremely involved in the community and did alot of work on the forums as well. At some point i hit a dark spell in my life, had alot of death and bad situations happen to me all at once and i didnt handle it probably and ended up falling into an alchoholic binge and stayed that way for a long time. There were alot of jobs i was paid to do and just disappeared into my misery. I have since gone to a rehab and have been sober for a very long time now and i figured nows the time if ever to try and get back involved and back to work. Programming is my life and i love gamesalad and the community here and want to get back involved. I want to apologize to anyone i owe it to honestly from the bottom of my heart and anyone i owe work to please get in contact with me so i can commensate you somehow. I will also be doing a ton of free work as well to try to build my reputation back up. Again i apologize to everyone and hopefully i can get back into the community here.

@JohnPapiomitis, glad to see you're back. Not sure if you recall but about 3+ years ago you worked on a paid job with me. It went great. Partly because of how good a job you did, how quickly you were able to turn it around and the overall ease of use of Gamesalad that experience inspired me to learn it myself as well as I possibly could. So you were a big inspiration in my learning GS and getting to the point I'm at today. Thanks for that!
I'm glad to hear you're back from your rough spots and I hope you have lots of continued success!

John,
I am extremely glad you are making this step. I appreciate how difficult it can be to walk back into a community when there may be some who feel harmed by your past actions (or inactions). It is obvious you wish to right any wrongs that may have happened. (And that is probably one of your purposes in making this thread.)
I am sure all will applaud your courageous willingness to do good.
With great respect,
Rich
Well done and welcome back! All the best for the future ...

Dont trust on @JohnPapiomitis he is big cheater. He took my $200 and not giving it. I have strong evidence that he is cheater & criminal and was in prison for long time. I have given that proof to @SaladStraightShooter and he removed him from Sous chef post.
So beware with him. He is Drugs addicted and involved in robbery. I have lot more evidence about this thief.
..person information removed..
He admited all that. People deserve second chances. How is it you show up after how long? @creativeapps sometimes I wonder about you. You have always acted kind of strange so we all have our flaws and deserve a change to prove we are truly sorry.

@The_Gamesalad_Guru I gave him 3 chance and everytime he took my money and never return the work. For me $200 is not small amount.
Yeah that was then. He has offered to make restitution have you contacted him recently since this post to give him a chance to return your money?
Guru Video Channel | Lost Oasis Games | FRYING BACON STUDIOS
He is aware with that. Let me ask him here in public. @JohnPapiomitis are you going to send my $200? And if yes then when? Because in past I got reply with word "SOON" and I am still waiting.
Okay so here is his chance to demonstrate to us all his sincerity. Even if he makes some good faith payments until the dept is resolved.

This thread should be closed. @creativeapps posting someone's mugshot/picture/personal information in these forums is pushing the limits of the forum rules and guidelines...in my opinion...it's not just making a statement that he owes you money...your taking it to the next level.

Like I said over the years @creativeapps has done strange things and to my knowlege he never made any games which I find strange as to why he hung around here.

Yeah but Socks, as far as I know, hasn't released one either, and he is a huge asset to this community. We aren't completely sure of @JohnPapiomitis situation, as we aren't aware of @creativeapps. This thread started out as an apology - let's not get it closed.

Imho the mugshots should be removed but not @creativeapps comments and the thread should not be closed. @JohnPapiomitis has posted this thread as an explanation and an apology and if he's serious about righting past wrongs, this thread and his response to @creativeapps will prove it. If he's not, then this thread will show that too. Either way, he started this thread, so we should give him a chance.

While I do think posting someone's mugshot is way out of line, creativeapps is out money that was taken from him, I would be upset too. He should have dealt with it privately, no need to make a show out of it.
I would gladly give john a chance and a bit of work. Work done first by John and payment goes to creativeapps. If all agrees to it.
That is very fair and nice offer.
I believe @socks does other stuff with GS maybe not his own games. Plus @socks doesn't demonstrate strange behavior. I agree that john should pay him back but those pictures also don't say if john was proved innocent or guilty. One may be arrested and have a mug shot taken only later to be found innocent. That mug shot it not prove of anything other than someone was charged. @creativeapps post about the mug shot is not productive at all.
