Okay, so you haven't been tracking the development section much lately.

He's the one who wrote the feature vote system? He was the one in the process of writing a stats tracker that is reportedly very effective? He's the one running one (probably the) the most helpful dpball resource/map databases? The guy that's been consistently positive and helpful? You know, him.

He has not been consistently positive and helpful. sorry to burst your bubble. the kid tried to start crap with me numerous times, and i time and time again OWN3D him.

PEACE OUT SK89Q , SOOOOOO SAD.

In addition.. Is there anyone that "fully" likes the community... hell no. It's like asking elementary kids and college kids to get along. With some middle schoolers mixed in there. It just doesn't happen. (Unless that middle schooler has some nice titties)

Obviosuly he's not that positive if he's running away because he "hates" the community.. I mean I can't remember a time when the community was ever that great.. maybe before he came?
Title: Re: This is why we can't have nice things!
Post by: Eiii on February 14, 2008, 01:31:12 AM
Now you're just nitpicking over words. He was great, you are not. The fact that he's left is a shame.

Even a positive person would get the hell out of here.

!Pish de chuss en de yom!

Oy vey, I can't believe the attitude some shvuntzs have toward someone like sk89q, oy, benemones, this guy stepped into our community *gasp* to HELP, can you believe it?  He did more for DP in his short time then either of you ever have, consider that.

This is why DP can't have nice things, exactly, a guy launches a resource site, codes his ass off, develops useful stuff, provides mass amounts of effort and time (which I'ma sure he has not much of) and you people have no idea who he is?  Incredible, I'm sure it was all worth it to him.  Thanks guys.

the kid tried to start crap with me numerous times, and i time and time again OWN3D him.

Why do you bring your dreck here?

Nowhere near as much as sk89q, that's for sure. As y00tz pointed out, sk89q was one of the people really pushing dp forward. Some here are actively trying to push it back.

How many people use his little site? Not many.

Back when DP was dying for the lord knows how manyith time I ran a public server and a match server that was far more used than that site, I'm willing to bet anything.

And who here in this thread  is trying to actively push DP back

If he chose to leave well that is his prerogative many of us have been around for a long ass time and just disregard the idiots in this game.  If he wants to get all emotional about and do a dramatic exit that is his problem.  Are there a ton of idiots in this community....yes Is there a ton of idiots in any gaming community....yes  However he can't be a big enough person to overlook these people then that is his fault.  I am not going to sit here and blame every idiot for his own actions.  I am going to say everyone has a choice and he made his if he chooses to blame others then he needs to grow up.  That is all there is to it.

eR33t quit caring because they switched to 20ID.

Please expand on this.

What the hell are you talking about. We've had the same roster for lord knows how long, with only a few changes, and people that didn't play long before the 20ID switch...

Two clans are one? Or are The One clan two now?

e3rrt or doid

I see both on a regular basis

He doesn't want to 'do a dramatic exit', what makes you think he does?

Are there a ton of idiots in this community....yes Is there a ton of idiots in any gaming community....yes  However he can't be a big enough person to overlook these people then that is his fault.

It's silly to say that it's sk89q's fault he's leaving because he's too weak-willed to put up with some people.

EDIT:
Doid? Try to know what you're talking about a bit before you post. :(
Title: Re: This is why we can't have nice things!
Post by: Y2J on February 14, 2008, 02:49:21 AM
What in god's name are you attempting to say. I'm going to assume doid = 20ID (almost got it...)

I'll attempt to answer... but PLEASE get some meddling grammar/english language lessons.

eR33t was picked up by 20ID for a short period of time. We decided to swtich back, to my knowledge because there was really no benefit to being 20ID as opposed to eR33t (other than the weekly checks).

So eR33t is eR33t again, and I doubt you have seen anyone playing with a 20ID tag for the past month, at least.

Loial, the clan changed names for legitimate reasons. They changed back because they changed their minds. Both tags are extremely well-known. How does it hurt anyone at all? You just seem to be chasing after people who do random actions you have imaginary rules against.

loial21: eR33t's clan status has nothing to do with this topic.  Also, please stop with the (intentional?) misspelling.  It's kind of annoying.

It's a shame to see sk89q go, but at least be sure to thank him for his efforts.  I don't think he's leaving because he's weak, but because he lost interest in playing the game.  His resource site and the community were about the only reasons he stayed around.  If he doesn't like the community, then what's the point?  I think it says more about us than him.  Hopefully he'll continue to at least host the resource site for a while.

Lets equate this to caring about good sportsmanship / citizenship. This is why we can't have nice things. 

If you have any honor. Which most of you do, why are you wasting any talent you can seed.

All i see mostly in  IRC ...is crushing and killing the seed, not nutrient, it.

This is why good things  are hard to come by.


IRC admins need to be more vigilant then the server admins......most seeds grow in irc and not in the code it self.

I had only seen sk89q in the forums, and had no idea he had done so much work for DP. Didn't know him, but it's unfortunate to see someone who helped the community so much decide to leave. Thanks for your help, sk89q.
