Not only my only means of watching the sport live is gone, a good person who wanted to help the community of thousands of people all of whom are in a similar situation to me is gone now and who knows if we'll ever hear from him or his team again :((

Very very sad situation. His stream was my only chance of watching the sport with proper content and coverage, not to mention it barely gets air time in my local broadcaster.

I have no source of watching F1 anymore, hear that FOM? There are people in the world who want to watch your sport! AND CANNOT!

Oh I'm sorry I wanted to provide advertisement revenue to you by watching your sponsorship run sport...

proper dead

>He thinks FOM browse Sup Forums
>He thinks that even in the strange and opposite reality somewhere that FOM did browse Sup Forums they'd give a shit about his blog post about Henno.

>he can't tell when a post is copy-pasted from reddit for a laugh

Holy shit, moderation is in full force now. Even all the henno images are getting deleted.

So much for freedom of speech.

>registered his pirate streaming website using his real name and his real address

what a moron

I don't browse the f1 subreddit senpai.

I'm honestly amazed that Henno lasted this long. I mean he obviously must have found it to be quite lucrative or just went on some ego trip psychosis becuase he thought it made him popular or something

Recap of some of the things

>streamed a fuckload of copyrighted content
>didn't even make an effort to be discrete, literally spammed his links on reddit, which believe it or not is one of the most popular websites in the world
>basically even branded his streams with his own shit because ?????
>asked for donations every step of the way that he didn't need considering the p2p nature of his streaming methods (supposedly)
>OPENLY HAD ALL HIS PERSONAL INFORMATION EASILY TRACEABLE TO HIM ONLINE that he voluntarily put up
>had own subreddits and websites dedicated to his streaming efforts
>the Australian madlad even supposedly reported him to authorities and copyright holders several times and nothing happened

He did this for at least a year if not more without trying to hide it in any way. How did shit not get pulled down earlier? FOM gets race clips from reddit pulled within 2 hours of the race being over usually. Doesn't affect my life either way but damn

>MUH HENNO
>he was rude as fuck, messing with the stream just because "if you dont like it you should pay for the real thing :^)"
>B-BUT HE RAN THE STREAM AT LOSS, HE DIDNT BENEFIT FROM IT
>spent stream donations on weed
>MUH Sup Forums
>he ran a illegal stream and was stupid enough not to cover himself, so people could doxx him with as little effort as possible
>RRRREEEEE

In the last thread? Was me deleting them, calm down Canada

>er macht es für frei

Why? To prevent any bans?

doxing is not allowed on the chinchins, lad

He didn't make profit at all

>people on leddit praising that faggot 'for doing so much for the community'
>complaining about an illegal service being taken down

What a bunch of whiny faggots

>The white had been historically associated with bad times and, after a season where the SF16-H took 11 podiums but no wins, Ferrari's management may hope that reverting to an all-red concept may at least mark the start of a new chapter.

fuck off with your delusions, buddy

A long time ago it was. Things like this only serve to remind me how much this place has changed since the fappening.

Not that I blame Moot for enforcing strictier moderation and leaving this place considering how much shit he had to endure due to that event.

That's because he apparently spent most of it on buying weed off of 'the darknet', according to his comment history

...

>our new livery will make the car go faster

Ferrari is actually losing it

like it would make a big difference

>muh lucky liveries

>Changing your livery will mean that you start to not suck.

Jesus christ, Ferrari are just awful.

I was on the Henno team, I saw the numbers.

Cheeky Aussie made that one Dutch guy who'd report streams a few seasons back look small as some pepernoten

So he was lying about all the darknet weed?

That's nice.

No comment on that but he wasn't using stream funds for it

Has he topped himself yet?

FERRARI 2017 WCC CONFIRMED

>i was on the team guise xD
Fuck off jew

A long time ago as in proper oldfag times. Doxxing has been not allowed for a long time and actually enforced for not quite as long but still.. for quite a while. Been coming here on and off for way too long now

Pure fucking cringe.

How would you even know that? He supposedly got enough donations over a weekend to "purchase a new computer with". Even if it is a computer used for the stream, its still a new fucking computer and that's profit.

>"i didn't make a profit i just used all the donations to buy products that I can use for the streams (3 days a week) along with various other purposes jokes on you haha guess I win anyway please donate all donations go towards improving the stream that costs me fuck all to host"

Sup Forums wins again!

>Using the fappening as a major milestone to distinquish between new and old.

Even the Jessi Slaughter shit feels like something recent.

Remember when ''Rageguy?''

>trusting a Geordie with anyone's money
Just how much invest did you lose today?

"The guy who doxxed him says it was due to aggressively asking for donations, trying to make money off being a pirate. He also says "If you didn't spam le Maldonado face, put "GO LEWIS" text on screen, and change the channel to porn during live sessions, then I would have sat on this info"
I agree the increase in popularity is probably what caused the doxer to become aware of Henno's streams, but this is one person getting angry and retaliating and that is it. Reddit is in no way implicated or involved."
HAHAHAHAHAH

SOMEONE STOP THESE GOSH DARN AUSSIES

>naming your fucking son "daryl"

is this a common practice in england or something?

First of all, as a huge fan of everything you and your team have accomplished, let me offer to you my most sincere condolences for this terrible tragedy. That someone could do such a thing, and to such a hero, leaves me simply confounded. I cannot fathom what pettiness might drive a person to such a despicable act, and I fear that I would lose my sanity were I to try.

It pained me very deeply to hear the news, as I imagine it must have pained many of us - but I know that must be nothing compared to what you and your team must be feeling today. To that end, let me say this: take all the time you need. Of course your community will be anxiously awaiting any news you might have as to exactly what occurred, what it means, and what the consequences for the stream might be. However, we (and I do feel I speak for the community here) understand completely the situation you are in, and will wait patiently for as long as it takes until you are ready to communicate with us. We supported you before, we support you now, and we will support you always.

Finally, let me state what, I hope, will be painfully obvious to all of you: if there is anything - anything at all - that I or anyone else in this community can do to help you in this darkest hour, you simply MUST tell us. For you, you who have walked through fire to bring us a service we had no right to ask of you, I feel confident in saying we would march to the gates of Hell and back if it could provide you some small modicum of assistance.

We are a community. We work together, we play together, we watch together. Victories are sweetened and defeats softened because we did them together. You never abandoned us, so don't think for one second that any of us would ever abandon you. We stand with you, now and always, and we will gladly help you up when you stumble.

With love, respect, admiration, and hope, I remain
Sincerely yours,
Anonymous

No - Darren, maybe. All I can think of is Daryl Strawberry, kek.

The root issue that has lead to Henno becoming so revered that everyone sucks his dick is the fact that FOM has no livestreams of F1, which is bullshit, even coming from someone with Foxtel.

>I bought nice valuable things with that money so I didn't profit

Not only my only means of watching the sport live is gone, a good person who wanted to help the community of thousands of people all of whom are in a similar situation to me is gone now and who knows if we'll ever hear from him or his team again :((

As far as I know the fappening was the icing on the cake which made Moot get fed up with this place and leave, that's why I use it as a major milestone.

I havent visited Sup Forums that much during the past 8 years that I have been a regular on this place, so pardon me if i dont know every little thing that happened there.

All income/expenses were tracked. The computer was saved up for over the better part of a year, taking any overhead we had afer each weekend. At the point that we got the streaming PC, Henno's was at a point where it would be cheaper to get a new one than keep replacing parts.

At least that disgusting white livery is gone. The Ferrari will have a greater a e s t h e t i c as it lurches it's engine.

Nah, Dutch cunt is still the standard. Ausbro has just eclipsed him temporarily.

Now,if he were to take down a lot of the race streams that leddit tries to use for the coming season, then he'll be GOAT

>we

fuck off

why are you even here? there is a more appropriate website available for you

>we
You say that like henno actually ever gave you anything. Face it lad you got your pocket diddled more than henno's arse ring will be in prison once the TV licence vans catch him

...

>we

What happens if you fail your TV license test?

Do you not have the ability to operate a TV remote?

Still would tbqh

what if the doxxing australian is the same guy that got bullied by daniel ricciardo in high school?

Henno admin here AMA

...

Grazie, Luca!
I mean at least it's something but they really have to have something good next year. They expect to have the best engine next year but it needs to be reliable. With more time spent full throttle their gearbox will simply fall apart each race of they aren't smart.

Lad that same picture has been posted a whole bunch of times by cheeky mexicans claiming to work for the dead geordie, need a bit more proof like the rope he used to hang himself earlier or something

Honestly, what the fuck are we doing here? Racing or ping pong.

Terrible what le 9gag army can destroy if they want to

...

I know people like to give Ferrari shit, myself included, but they actually can occasionally pull off good stuff even in the post-Brawn era. The 2012 Ferrari was good, the only problem was that it was driven well by only 1 of the drivers. Also, considering what a mess 2014 was, the 2015 Ferrari was actually a very good car, probably the closest a team has been to Mercedes in the hybrid era so far.

That being said, I won't be surprised if they are a mess in 2017 but I also wouldn't be that shocked to find them somehow piecing together another good car. A Merc-killer is unlikely from any team, but its not like a foreign concept for Ferrari to actually make something decent. People are somehow totally overlooking how well they have developed their engine after 2014. Few blowouts in 2016 but other than that quite solid and not that far off the Mercs.

First of all, as a huge fan of everything you and your team have accomplished, let me offer to you my most sincere condolences for this terrible tragedy.

THERE'S A MAN ON THE TRACK!

Go fuck yourselves you fucking cocksuckers.

I've been following F1 17 years (I'm 19 btw) and ever since my cable company dropped SPEED Channel I've been a cable cutter. Henno has been my #1 source of F1 content since then, streaming at the highest quality with a few memes to keep the races interesting during the boring midrace bits. Nothing livens up the middle of a fuel run like Maldonado's face scrolling across the screen, or a quit cut to some prime BBC to remind me to have a quick wank, so nothing will ever compare to his prime stream.

Even if I was going to watch my NORMAL F1 coverage on NBC it is so fucking intolerable, with all those damn commercials, that it isn't even a Grand Prix. It's like watching those fucking heat racing heavens over at the town dirt ""track"" on Saturday nights. And even the NBC live stream services are plagued with a crippling amount of advertising, ripping me from my wonderful F1 experience. As you can imagine, I have only resorted to him in the most desperate of times, thanks to my lovely parents for keeping the cord so I can watch it for free.

Now, however, without Henno, I simply have no other choice than to quit watching F1. Coverage will simply never live up to the standards set by his fantastic streaming service. To watch an F1 race in 720p would be simply UNACCEPTABLE, I tell you, as the quality would diminish my ability to analyze the lines of my favorite driver, Jenson Button (wasn't going to watch this season anyway without him DESU).

So, in closing, I guess I should give you a big fat THAN YOU for killing my favorite stream. You have killed my love of F1, you have killed 1 more revenue stream for the sport, and in the long run you may have killed the sport as a whole. I suppose, finally, I should ask, do you really think the sport is better off without a diehard fan like me?

Thank you and good night.

This webm reminds me of that scene in Contact in which young Jodie Foster's character is running down a hallway to get his dying father's medicine.

Such a well-made shot.

Is this pasta?

The butthurt in this thread is glorious. Poorfags get fucked

>The white had been historically associated with bad times

Literally all the titles between Surtees and Schumacher, FFS.

>in the long run you may have killed the sport as a whole

kek

I think they are a dark horse (pardon the meme). The engine has enough grunt, if they can put together a decent chassis, and learn from the 16 car, then they have a shot at doing better in terms of the car.

They really need to work on the strategy department though.

>Now,if he were to take down a lot of the race streams that leddit tries to use for the coming season, then he'll be GOAT
doesn't Sup Forums use those same streams though?
>cutting off your nose just to annoy le reddit boogeyman

It's pasta.

Seems even Reddit are not buying the whole donations thing now

that would be pottery indeed

>You now remember that nobody doxxed bloodzeed after he scammed the donations out of F1 viewers.
People really hate stale memes, I guess.

I have weirdly high expectations for them for next year. I think they'll do alright again. I'd say Merc=RBR>Ferrari probably. They (well Seb really) also did a lot of tire testing and hopefully they pulled of some mafia shit with Pirelly to make Italy great again.


>unrelated news
He had steam nick literally consisting of the 14 year old wannabe weed guy buzzword best of...why would you do that?

If you no longer go for the bants you are no longer a shitposter

>He ran that stream at a loss. He paid personal money on top of donations to make it work.

>few memes to keep the races interesting during the boring midrace bits

This is fault

What worries me is the lack of a "big name" designer/personnel like Newey/Lowe/Allison etc but who knows, maybe Ferrari have good guys from their own "family" as well. They also went through some big personnel changes and the restructuring that came along with that, so hopefully that doesn't cause issues.

McLaren is also a pretty big unknown at this point but are suffering from similar problems as Ferrari, along with the eternal Honda dream

Pirelli were also reporting that the tire tests may have been useless because of incorrect downforce levels or cars or some shit

At least Ferrari have 2 drivers that get along and have similar desires from the behavior of the car (unlike Alonso-Massa/Kimi).But still, we'll just have to wait and see, for all we know they could actually be just as lost and hopeless as they appear and end up making a car thats worse than Force India next year and then go on a mass firing and mass hiring rampage again and start from scratch

Quit horsing around Poland

lel, now that Sauber's Media team is on reddit they want to stop joking about their shitty management because muh Internet points and muh feelings. They deserve all the shit they got for being so incompetent, why would you ever agree to not ridicule them even more when they want you to stop?
Sad!

Ferrari at least have something to fall back on. They'll have a fast engine, that doesn't seem deeply thirsty. The only thing I can hope is that whoever they have working on the chassis is what a Newey/Lowe/Allison was before they "emerged". That's really hoping however.

From what it looks like, McLaren doesn't have a great chassis, nor a great engine. That being said Honda was abandoning the size zero concept so maybe the increase in space would allow them to apply the lessons when making the very tight engine. I'm hoping that results in a decent engine.

What will be the worst ran thing this year?
Henno's stream, Sauber or England footie team

Speaking of Pirelli, what happened to the Winter Testing?

Didn't Pirelli want two, and they wanted one in a hot weather location like Bahrain? Red Bull, even though they would be the first to bitch about it, didn't want a test in Bahrain, because it would be harder to get last minute parts out vs Barcelona.
