Welcome to the group called 'Unban Stimich'
This group is created because one of the top portal players ever was banned from the popular third-party mod 'Portal prelude' - this is due to the fact that he was accused for cheating.
Here's the statement from Nicolas, one of the moderators for Portal: Prelude:
- "...After a few hours of research on the Internet with my friend Google and with the help of one of the former Prelude record holder, I indeed found quite a few suspicious details. First, this guy is commenting out on a video named "How To Cheat In Portal Without Cheating" -
Yes, Stimich has tried this - the video is located here: - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFaGoD1vszw -
You may notice that the only cheats you are able to use with this way to "Cheat without cheats" are, as stated in the description
- "Commands ::: Phys_timescale 0 ::: Freeze Everything , ::: Phys_timescale 1 ::: Unfreeze Everything! It Works Without sv_cheats 1" -
That, my friends, is messing with the physics timescale. Freezing objects e.t.c. - NOT making a speedrun go magically faster.
Now, for the part of the videos on the cheat-grabber website. Some sites automatically embed random videos with certain tags on their site. Here's a nice little picture of Stimich's videos on their site:

Oh, wait... "Making a boy" - I wonder how he cheated on that one? No, this is simply because the site embeds random videos. Here's another example:

How do you think people cheated in "My little pony" - feel free to search for your own videos if you want. I believe you can easily find them.
Nicolas posted some stuff about him moving unnatural and fast in his videos. This is easily explained: Source recorder. Occasionally you'll want to re-play your videos in slow-motion. Change the framrate to a steadier one - that stuff. That's when you are going to use source recorder. But, as our friend Fluffy (I would like to thank him for laying the base for this description) stated on his post located here:
http://www.portalprelude.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1057
- "The source recorder doesn't record what the player sees. It records the environment. It can corrupt on a frame to frame basis, and as with this video it can corrupt almost entirely... not knowing the x,y,z axis of the player." -
Here's some nice little proof of exactly that:

Is that not proof enough?
Is there any way now to prove, or even display if... or HOW he cheated. Please lay this out for me. Make it clear. I would like to know how he could cheat, using only "Cheat engine" which by the way can't modify or hack .exe files, like portal - and... erm... nothing else really.
Therefore I want Nicolas to unban the probably best portal player of the century. I would also like him to write a formal apology on the front page of www.portalprelude.com
Thanks for reading.
Dan.
