'''Kangaroo MusiQue''' of [[SPRING|SPRING]] aka Ghostbuster & RUN/STOP from Germany, aka Thorsten Norman Mitschele. He composed about 450 tunes on the Schneider/Amstrad CPC by using the [[Soundtrakker|Soundtrakker]] from [[New Age Software|New Age Software]]. A lot of the tunes were used in CPC-Demos from different groups, also he composed some tunes for CPC and Nintendo Gameboy Games, programmed by [[Elmsoft|Elmsoft]] ([[EGS|EGS]]) published by Titus Software in France. ==The summer 2009 controversy== Kangaroo offered home to several CPC projects, including CPC-Wiki and cpc-forum.de. Kangaroo was therefore the man who hosted CPCWiki on a company server almost from its beginning, as he did with other CPC-scene memberrelated projects (like cpc-forum.de). At some point, Kangaroo claimed that the hosting of CPCWiki cost him in excess of €3000/yr (!!), and even managed to get a donation from Prodatron to the tune of €1000.
Kangaroo was also the man who hosted CPCWiki on However, in a company server almost from its beginningcontroversial move during the summer of 2009 and without any prior warning, as he did with other withdrew support, taking over the old CPC-related projects (like wiki domain and shutting down cpc-forum.de). At some point, Kangaroo claimed that deleting the hosting of CPCWiki cost him database in excess of €3000/yr (!!), and even managed to get a donation from Prodatron to the tune of €1000process.
However, in a controversial move and without any prior warning, during the summer of 2009 he announced that we would be withdrawing support from the CPC projects he was hosting. This left the CPCWiki homeless. What's more, Kangaroo took down cpc-forum.de, a very lively German forum, saying he also deleted the underlying database.
After the general outcry Kangaroo offered to host CPCWiki at a cost of €120 per month. Of course it was too late, to say nothing of running the risk of hosting the project with someone who might take it down again at his whim. This was imposible to fund (and other hosts offered much cheaper solutions for dedicated servers), so Kangaroo was asked to sell the domain (cpcwiki.com) so that we could move the wiki to another host.
This Kangaroo declined to do for personal reasons. What's more, he [http://blog.kangaroo.cmo.de/2009/09/16/vernunftige-nutzung-von-alt-domanen/ forwarded] all relevant domains first to his personal blog and, subsequently, to gay-related websites.
This forced us to register cpcwiki.eu and transfer the database there. After the fact Kangaroo belatedly offered to host CPCWiki, along with other sites, on a shared server. Of course it was too late, to say nothing of running the risk of hosting the project with someone who might take it down again at his whim.
In November, 2011, Kangaroo threatened our host, a member of the CPC community, with a lawsuit if this page was not removed from the wiki. It is not known what basis his lawsuit would be on. Instead of backing down to his whims, we decided to move the wiki once again to another host instead of having our host deal with the threat.
