Title: FS3 - Derek is 'da man'
Post by: an0n on July 15, 2004, 05:08:06 pm
Use this for happy thoughts.

Use the other for angry posts.

And use the original for actual developments and news.

I'm trying to make the other thread slow enough to read.

But since I lack admins power I have to resort to such means.

He seems like a big time prick to me.

Now, no offense to Kazan, but when I saw this on the main page, I thought Kazan was going to buy the licsense or sommat.

It turns out this guy is four times as arrogant, and a complete jerk. :rolleyes:

Ok, if you want to talk about something that detracts from the discussion on the first thread about the subject, do it here.

Sorry, Styxx but that was just plain ****ing stupid of you. Anyway, i don't care what the **** you think about me saying this. It was just ****ing stupid.

For once we wanted this community to come together for the sake of FS, but what do you do? You lock the damed thread. you can lock every other thread but You should've let the money thread open

Anyway, I don't give a **** anymore and are off.

I'm being more diplomatic that Tiara about but she's right. The poll thread was an attempt to see if we can raise the kind of cash we'd need to buy the licence. If we can then we should do it. If we can't then we can stop talking about it once and for all.

I might have phrased the topic rather provocatively but the thread was a serious attempt to do something positive rather than just talking and *****ing about Derek Smart.

Edit the poll any way you want but please reopen it. Otherwise everyone is just going to continue to talk about what we can do with the licence or how we can get hold of it without knowing if we ever could.

So open a thread with a civil title, without provocations or insults, and it might remain open. That one will not be reopened, and that's it. Seems like everyone wants to open their own thread on the subject.

How's this?:

No poll, though.

The only thing I learned is how strange and... unintelligent admins can be at times. Sorry, dude. But it's my current opinion.

Think whatever you like, it's your prerogative. It got out of hand, real fast, and I did something about it. Now things are calming down, we can get back to our usual moderation levels.

I have a summary with links of stuff going on related to FS3/DS on Nodewar.

http://nodewar.penguinbomb.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1984

This quote from Derek Smart that I posted over there is very disturbing.

Let me assure you of one thing that you can go to sleep with tonite. I have FULL intentions of getting this license. If I DO get it, you and your teenny leetle friends, are effectively, shutdown because I don't piss around when it comes to IP properties. You would do well to ask around. I've sued publishers for less and I have attorneys around the world, literally on speed dial.
