I might say things like that when I'm mad but it's nothing.
I know that all the time. But such things are not nothing. Only a complete emotional-less person doesn't take such things not as a personal attack. I told already I accept your apologies but still waiting for Skarns apologies in this matter.
But to go to topic - your project - and some random thoughts by me:
- I believe that you want to help people in modding. And you have proofed that you can do that. And as it is a free world there is nothing to say against founding any new projects, therefore it's also fine for the modding scene.
But ....
you made your project already and after that you came back to this site Modcraft. From now on Modcraft and you are competing websites. That's not bad in general. However ... you came her and wrote in short words: We are bigger, better, the best ones. Please leave Modcraft and join us. From this point I think it's the pure generosity of Modcraft owners not to kick you off from here and send you to hell, isn't it or is it ?
Half of this thread you was speaking about humanity, respect and fairness. May you want to think about these words in the context of your advertisement here.
If it would be on my desk I wouldn't allowed that and 99% of other boards also wouldn't that, I guess. At least for this kind of generosity you get here by owners and community I ask you for some fairness. Stop comparing and rating your project against Modcraft or Modcraft owners, moderators and members.
- When you both came first to to me and asked for membership and help I was listening about the ideas you had and was asking you if you are sure to split a small community in that way. After listening I have seen that your ideas are quite different in that of Modcraft. They are neither better nor worse. Just different. Your ideas bases exactly on the requests the generation you are representing are got used and may also need. Your project contains a lot of social media modules and a modern fresh look. Besides of that it contains some outstanding tutorials. But than it ends and you need to produce exactly the same content as Modcraft is doing it since years.
- Some of your conclusions are wrong or unfair. You glorify your project by goofing on so called old-fashion projects but forget that your brandnew project is based exactly on the knowledge and technology of the last 40 years made by such old-fashion people your are pointing on now. Without internet, without social media, without graphic and the monitor was monochrom. But the stuff we made at that time is still working, valid and you use it every day. So stay on the carpet while your are promoting yourself as the topclass of modding scene and be aware that the wind blow harder on the very top. You are absolutely right to say this is not 1980, this 2015 and that's why I never was against your project in general.
- An other wrong conclusion is the idea that the modding scene will grow significant with your project. If you would have made the same intellectual effort here on Modcraft it would have exactly the same effect. May some new people comes and some left. You can't proof your claim yet because your project is too new. But I can proof my statement quite easily by comparing similar communities. The really sad fact is even the world population grows fast, the active members on similar projects like this sinks or at least doesn't grow. That's may be a surprising fact because it was never so easy to get in touch to fascinating technical hobbies as in these days. What's growing fast are communities looking funny videos about a dog's shitting in a corner.
- The way you started your project was not very mature in my eyes. The motivation to start was not only charity as you claim. In fact you started because there was a big fight here. And I guess the reason for the fight was exactly the same when I came in friendship to you and got only concentrated hate back without any reason, just because 'somebody has it's mad days'.
- It's the precedence of the older generation you don't like very much to forget such imprudent days quite soon. But in my opinion it's better you do further your business there and don't ask here anymore people to leave Modcraft.
