Poor lad Nineko. Whatever happened to him?
He seems to have some fans on youtube. Also he made some program to edit Sonic 3 bonus levels, and posted a pretty cool example in a video there.
Someone told me, but I don't really remember what made him leave the site...I guess he changed his email here causing his account to be locked and thought adelikat did that or something along those silly lines.
"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself.
It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the
kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional
functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success."

He did some crazy, either paranoid or attention seeking, hilarious stuff. I want him back! xD
And I want somebody to post the picture, I haven't seen it either. :(
Btw, we should totally revive his Puzzle De Pon submission somewhen, then publish it without the author's approval! ;)

He made some very erratic decisions regarding his Puzzle de Pon submission (starting about here), which eventually led to him locking himself out of his own account and being banned. I'm not entirely sure what he was trying to do in that thread, but I'm pretty sure it was related to the fact that the thread had over 15k views.* Your guess is as good as mine as to why that's the case.
* For comparison, that's more views than the discussion thread for Saturn's rejected 14% Super Metroid run, which is 14-pages long (much of it being a flamewar/debate).

According to him, the reason he cancelled his submission was that someone new was on tasvideos, and his first post happened to be on his movie. I guess Nineko took that as someone making fun of him.
If that's the case, Nineko was probably just overeacting on his own movie. However, why he banned himself from the site, that is to my wildest imagination.
Somebody who was new voted yes on nineko's movie submission. He knew that everybody would accuse him of having created that account himself only to get his movie published. So because the submission wouldn't have been accepted anyway for that reason, he canceled it in wise foresight. xD
Then he did some other funny stuff and got banned. :D

Let me correct this. A new user posted a positive comment about his movie. Nineko ASSUMED that everyone would accuse him of foul play, when in REALITY, no one would have noticed. (More about this in a moment.) So, he CLAIMED the submission would be rejected for this; and canceled his movie. (note it wouldn't have, a single vote or post changes nothing) He also CLAIMED that he changed his password to random characters, and changed the email so he could never log in again.
Combining this to his string of erratic behaviour with information about his previous history with other sites, the administrators attempted to ban him from the site. Unfortunately, this was during the transfer of site to new administrators, and using a loophole (a forum ban was not equal to site ban), he uncanceled his movie. Note, that this is using the account that he 'locked himself out of.' He lied, he had never locked himself out of the account. The movie was then re-canceled, as Nineko had exploited a glitch in the site to allow him to uncancel the movie. He should have never had that power in the first place; he was a banned user. End of story.
Now, a bit more on his behaviour. If you look at his string of submissions, they tended to be poor game choices, or purposefully sub-optimal decisions. It appeared that his desire was to set-up a 'world vs. nineko' reality, and claim the site was against him; his posting history shows this. That failed when he was actually about to get a video published; the world can no longer be against you if you succeed. Thus, he found a way for it to fail, and blame it on others.
Additionally, there was later evidence found that he was creating accounts before the puzzle movie. It leads me to believe he went on the tangent in the puzzle movie because he was upset his alternate accounts hadn't been discovered.
Finally, the site was plagued with 100 fold increase in intentionally crappy submissions after his banning; it was obvious the site was getting trolled, and hard. New measures were put into place, and submissions could be deleted instead of rejected. Thus, the amount of attention the troll could receive was almost eliminated. The trolling came to a nearly complete stop.
Make your own judgments about the character of someone who behaves in this manner.
Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.

Not quite 'finally'. After the above happened, a sudden surge of account names containing hatred and profanity towards adelikat appeared. After a week or so of acounts being created and deleted, I managed to add a suitably large amount of account name filters to prevent this. I assume since the name 'adelikat' could no longer accurately be produced, he simply gave up :)
<adelikat> I am annoyed at my irc statements ending up in forums & sigs
He recently become moderator at <a href="http://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?showtopic=18465">Sonic Retro Forum</a>. Three pages of people says he is doing good. I am on Sonic Retro and I am agree. He does good technique stuff.
He on irc said he has some mental problem. This explains why he changes from very good to very bad rapidly.
To be fair his attack to Adekliat was after the latter didn't accepted ninkeo's apology. To be fair he now resides in the part of the wrong so now he not deserves a second chance anymore.
Not a bad guy but must control his reactions to unfair action because being more unfair is more wrong.
In other news, happy Thanksgiving!
Yes, it's a day late. Better to be early than miss it entirely.
