OHAIIIIIIII!Hey guys, I'm Shadowsniper. Many of you already know who I am, and it's no secret that I haven't been able to post on GTAS for a very long time, but now I'm back. I've been stunting since December 2005, with a few breaks in between. My actual active stunting time is more like 3 years. You can find me on YouTube at
justanotheraccount by clicking
HERE. There's been many controversies surrounding me over the years, so now I'm taking the time to set the record straight, and clear things up for anybody who's unclear.
1. Have you ever modded?
Yes! I modded
some of the stunts in my first two VC solos, and my first TS audition which was leaked onto Putfile (note: this is not the final audition I made a few months later, as seen on YouTube). I also released a video in San Andreas called "Movin' On Up", which was modded (except for 6 stunts). My old "240ft world record" was also modded. The last time I modded a video I publicly released was in 2006, but the two leaked stunts "Shadowsniper Lands a Stunt in 90 minutes", and "SF Church Tower" are modded. Some people think that I've modded since then, but they're wrong.
2. Why were you banned?
Good question, one that has undoubtedly caused much speculation in the community. I was banned on the 2nd of October 2007 for 'splitting the community' as to whether I still modded or not. This was said by Kingjad, on behalf of the previous administration team. Later on they stated that I was actually banned for 'being an asshole' but of course, that is a load of nonsense. Aries (the head admin at the time) asked me to make a new account and come back on the SAME DAY I was banned, because apparently I'm a 'nice guy'. You can find the relevant MSN chatlogs later on in my post; you can open them using Microsoft Word or Open Office. I've never broke a rule on GTAS, so you've got nothing to fear.
3. I heard that Dan recently stole a few stunts from you, is that true?
Yes, unfortunately
. A long time ago (I think in 2008), I sent him an audition I made to GLS. He stole four of these stunts and used them in his modded 'unreleased stunts' video. The stunts in question were the infernus bump in LS, the monster grind to precision, the packer wallride to candy suxx in LV, and the packer bump to chimney precision in LV (which I have since relanded to the front of the chimney so it's even more precise). If you don't believe me, click
HERE to view the chatlog proving that he did. What an asshole.
4. Have you been browsing GTAS using a fake account? I've seen all your comments on YouTube, you seem like a massive troll.
Nope, you can view GTAS as a guest without any problems. I'm not a troll; contrary to popular belief, I do not believe that every stunter who lands high bumps is a modder. I'm actually just totally honest about my opinions, and I aim to be as constructive as possible. I try very hard to give people good advice that they can work with rather than just telling them that they suck. There was a time in GTAS where most of the videos coming out in San Andreas had at least one modder in, but nowadays SA has settled down slightly, and the quality of videos is beginning to reach the levels found in VC. So really you shouldn't see me making as many comments about modding as I used to.
5. Do you even stunt anymore?
I do indeed. I've got a load of videos coming out very soon, which have been worked on
very slowly over the past few years. The first video I've got coming out will be released very soon, a hydra collaboration between me, DuKtape and Viper. After that you can expect to see my collab with SlayerUK in GTAIV, and VC/SA solos. There may be a few surprises along the way as well
.
In closing, I'm back and hopefully things have settled down nowadays!
