It's been awhile since Derek Smart expressed interest in buying the FS licence so where is he now? Has a retreated back to his Battlecruiser or am I just not looking hard enough?
-
Dunno, but I am certain we will hear from him soon. Not really soon, maybe not within half a year.
-
I think he realized that making Fs3 was not what he was aiming for anymore
-
*predicts a long thread*
When he came to HLP, he said he wanted the licence over any circumstances.
-
BUT...
at Avault he admited that Fs3 wasn't the best idea
-
To my knowledge, he's since backed down on his original determination. Not to the point of ruling out his acquisition of the rights, but it is far less likely than before.
-
Well I really don't care anymore..........
-
IIRC, you never did :p

I don't visit that forum, so this information may be correct.

Yes I did about 7 seconds:p
-
:lol: And what an important 7 seconds they were. :p
It's been a while since he posted, anyway. What I think is cool is how much the hosted activity has boosted in the same period of time since Smart departed. :)
-
When did he come here? I must have missed that
-
:eek2:
Not sure the actual date, but it lasted for a loooong time...
-
Go browsing, Night Hammer, to a couple of weeks back. Look for some big threads. You can't miss 'em. ;)
-
Does he have an actual user name I can search for or is it all the threads about him, cuz i remember those.
-
Derek smart and freespace 3 --> search
-
I hereby assemble the DSTS or Derek Smart Tracking Service to keep tabs on Derek Smart.
unless of course this isn't a good idea
*name of this 'assembly' is subject to change
-
DS 3000, i think it was.
-
DS(3000 A.D.)
I can't remember...
But really type in "Derek Smart and Freespace 3" at search and you will get them
-
Can I ask why peoples still bother about that it's past already I'am more intrested in what future holds......
-
search for 'DSmart*'. That is sure to find it.
-
I think he wanted to do FS3 as a tech demo for some new engine, so he's probably decided it's not worth the bother he'd get from, ooh, 99% of the internet.
-
After doing a slight amount of research I determined that nothing Derek Smart should be taken seriously. Peruse this site and you will understand. I think the flare up over fs3 was just to get some attention again.

I particularly like the "humorous introduction" link.
-
That link has been posted, I don't know, eight times or so since this whole mess came up. It's funny, but a little one-sided. And he has actually sued people in the past, so you can't assume that he's just a windbag.
Oh yeah, for the sake of the board's sanity, don't say his name too many times. It seems to attract him.
-
What? Did i scare him off... aww... i guess he doesn't deal with too many female gamers :D:p
it was funny when he got angry with me and 'reporting me to the proper authorities' and threatening to sue 'my ass'. :lol:

There is no much left, Bob. Threads like these are basically doomed. :)
-
Why is it that people always have to try and ruin a harmless bit of fun.? :doubt:
-
Because they want to keep things... smart?

Ive read this top to bottom, and don't see one problem with it. No one is acting uncivil and a valid question is raised. Although most of us prefer to stay away from such subjects it doesnt make for a closeable one IMO.

[color=66ff00]Too true and the pure 'meh' factor of the entire subject just serves to make people even less interested. :D

There, I have just used my PhD skills to compromise an all-out answer to DS threads. They're all similar. The only thing is that DS can now track me and come to my hou
Eh, you forgot 'lawyers' and 'sue you' :D

I also feel it's made people a lot more determined in their mods. I know I can't remember the last time so much stuff was getting done on the hosted projects and so many things were nearing critical stages of completion. :nod:

The cancellation of Reci was actually what inspired me. The Derek Smart thing just made me more determined to keep doing what I was already doing.
