I've looked for Derek Smart's posts, but I cant find his username. Did someone delete his account or did he even register in the first place?

He registered... only for the "fun" of annoying the #^$* out of HLP, it seems. I don't think he's banned, just that he doesn't come here anymore (and good riddance!).

I believe the majority of his posts are in the "Derek Smart wants to develope FS3" Classic thread.

[Scuddie]

For a minute there, I thought you meant D3r3k...

[phreak]

why bother even asking, you know this will just resurrect him.

[achtung]

Where did he go?

Hopefully as far away from here, and the FreeSpace IP, as possible.

Yes, all of his posts are in that thread. And where did he go? He decided that he has said everything he has to say to this community. If he came back, he'd only once again tell us that we suck and that we are responsible for the failure of FS2, economically speaking. So good riddance.

He actually commented on the BtRL Demo. It was pretty damn funny.

Well, we keep our distances from each other as far as boards etc are concerned, and probably for the best. He doesn't like our 'style' we don't like his, end of story really.

Still, he does far more to advertise us than we do him, so I suppose we at least owe him gratitude there

I know people feel the need to bring this up every once in a while, hence why I haven't locked this thread, however, I do wish people on both sides of the debate would just get over it.

[Mobius]

There's something about him in that blasphemous Enclyclopaedia Dramatica

[BtRL is] rubbish, but don't take my word for it. See for yourself.

Those prissy lil' girls in their frocks and oversized undies who were harrassing me over FS3, can continue playing with their sub-par and sub-standard FS2 TCs, hacks and whatnot. They'll never - ever - see another Freespace title in their pathetic life times.

The TC and mods [based on FS2] are going to remain at the bottom of the gaming food chain because they are not worthy anything and can't compete in any way, shape or form. Hence the reason they are free.

I don't even know who he is, and I want to hurt him.Bad.

[BrotherBryon]

I don't know where he gets off talking the crap that he does. He does not show the degree of professionalism that one would expect from a developer. Those screen shots he posted of the new space Sim (since he didn't get the rights to Freespace 3) he's working on are not all that impressive. They honestly look too much like a cartoon to me. At this point I think the community should just ignore him, maybe he'll just fade away and be forgotten.

[Dark Hunter]

I don't know where he gets off talking the crap that he does.

Apparently, he just enjoys infuriating forum communities:

"Sometimes when I get online, and it's quiet, and I see something that attracts my attention, I'll post just to piss these guys off. That's why I do it. Because I'm in a good mood that day, I go in there and I start trouble."

Actual quote from him, yep. Source. And he wonders why people dislike him so...

[Jeff Vader]

Anyone know when he was last active at Avault? He still persistently keeps the 'Ph.D' in his signature. I suppose it's okay. I mean I could call myself the prime minister of Norway on the internets and even in that case no one would give a damn.
