POST 1000!
Well guys, im back, maybe it wasn't for long, but I just needed a outtime and don't knew how long it was taking... I think it was because, I got really annoyed and I calmed down now.

Holy mother of Cod, that's no small number of quotes.
Actually there are a lot more...
Orfvar Stöhtkonung said:
Anyway, I guess addressing your numerous complaints is a bit pointless if you really intend not to make that 1000th post this time around...
Actually this is my 1000th post... Cheers
Orfvar Stöhtkonung said:
However, I'd like to point out that most of the quotes you brought here from other threads are either irrelevant or quoted out of context. Only the first one (by Osmose) actually has anything to do with content theft.
They aren't... I just have the feeling you didn't understand the reason why I needed a outtime.
Well, I made those posts anonymous and you posted one of the names lol...
Orfvar Stöhtkonung said:
To me it seems like your problem is more that you can't stand that some people disagree with you than the real situation here concerning intellectual property.
Well, whatever it seems to you, it isn't right
Orfvar Stöhtkonung said:
There has been no outright copying, only hypothetical discussions about copyright and some minor case with one member breaking some unwritten law about not recolouring other members sprites.
Huh? I never said I left because someone abused one pic or something.
Orfvar Stöhtkonung said:
I don't see why you can't just protect your own stuff (as you did) and let everyone else have their own attitudes towards modding (as you don't).
Why doing it the hard way, when there is a easy one?
Protecting it is not a easy step and it can be still ripped...
C'mon just have a simple rule about this and its all good.
I still like the "It's left to the author's" thing, because it's all good for everyone...
Orfvar Stöhtkonung said:
Personally, I don't mind sharing some of what I've made and discovered.
Well, that's up to you
I always sharing.
But if it's sprite or music work then I have another opinion, because sprite or music is a part of myself, a personal part. That's like someone uses your name without asking... I mean: I would be honored if someone asks me to build myself into his/her mod, but the other way round I would be kinda offended if he/she won't ask me before.
Orfvar Stöhtkonung said:
I'm here to play CS mods and tinker with the editor. The CS mod scene is tiny so if sharing knowledge and stuff helps make more mods reach completion I'm all for it.
Yep, but... I still think you may not push anyone to make him/her release his/her stuff.
Orfvar Stöhtkonung said:
I hope you'll think of all that whenever you come back.
I'm back... And I'm thinking about it, but I still have my own opinion.
Osmose said:
It's sad that you think you have to go, but the reason is, as Orfvar has said, not a very good one. I hope at least you continue to work on your mod while you're away.
It wasn't a good reason for sure.
Osmose said:
My prevailing point was that if you yourself worry about mod theft, than you yourself should find a way to protect your mod. There is no practical way to have others ensure that no one steals from your mod, and even so, it is none of their business whether you choose to protect your mod or not.

I don't understand why the idea of a mod creator taking responsibility for their own mod troubles you enough to leave the site
ShInInG PhAnToM said:
Well, whatever it seems to you, it isn't right
Osmose said:
when you're on of the most active members and help keep the site alive.
Thanks, anyhow you're right... We really need active members here :/

I've never been one for finality as you may know, I come and go randomly
I think I understand some of the feelings behind why you are leaving [at least until the 1000th post!] besides 999 being a cool number
Well I'm back ;P I just had to tell because I don't knew it long it would take...
X-Calibar said:
The things we do here should be about fun, and not a chore.
Work can be also fun that's why I'm modding ;P
X-Calibar said:
I don't really know you, but your efforts, input and the time spent here is thanked! ... I must say it's thanks to creative people like you~!
Thanks!

Well you're right the reason why I started modding was fun, but it isn't fun anymore if my things getting abused...
