I feel like as long as there is money to be gained from it (be it via clicks or whatever), these people will stay.
So you gotta, in video game terms, "hit the boss on its weakpoint".
What also grinds my gears is that one guy in there who ban evaded twice, everyone else knows who they are, yet they still remain on the forums to this day. If that doesn't tell anybody that that site has a serious moderation problem, I don't know what will.
This is all entirely Michael's fault because he refuses to have anything resembling of a moderation.
Use adblockers. Never give him any of your precious money. He doesn't deserve a single penny of it.
Edit: Fun fact: Karol also stopped visiting Phoronix forums a fair bit of time ago. GEE, I wonder what caused it to happen?
Edit 2: That particular forum post is now loginwalled LMFAO
But of course, there is an Emacs command to do that.
Good ol' C-x M-c M-butterfly!

I haven't tested it but it should work. OldUnreal's patches are backwards compatible.
IIRC it has been 10 years since Tim Sweeney talked about open sourcing UE1. I don't think it is gonna happen anytime soon, sadly.
At least we still have Surreal Engine.
Considering the OldUnreal team still has access to the source code for these two games, and develop patches for them to this day, I find it, thankfully, extremely unlikely!
The absolute disregard of having any moderation is what does that. If there was any, there wouldn't be the cases like having someone be there by their third account, after the first two got banned.
Not to mention that controversy = angry people and trolls = more clicks = more ad revenue. I don't think Michael wants to miss out on it.
The "you wouldn't download a car" statement is made against personal cases of piracy, which got rightfully clowned upon. It obviously doesn't work at all when you use its ridiculousness to defend big ass corporations that tries to profit from so many of the stuff they "downloaded".
Besides, it is not "theft". It is "plagiarism". And I'm glad to see that people that tries to defend these plagiarism machines that are attempted to be humanised and inflated to something they can never be, gets clowned. It warms my heart.
