I don't care who doesn't like me, tbh. And Robin, feel free to say his choices in mods are poor, they're his choices and I doubt he's gonna change them.
I originally was not planning to stick around, but I can't let Rian and James handle this on their own, so if Rian really wants me to stick around, I guess I can.
I have a nostalgic love for this place and the source. I may not like certain members here, but I won't let my feelings for someone run my judgment. As I told Rian, if I feel something needs to be done, I will bring it to his attention first. If he agrees with me (since my opinion on something isn't always unbiased or right) then actions will be taken.
One of the main things we need to do, is direct this community towards more than the source. Since it's all about the source, everyone that's helped a decent amount, expects everyone to contribute to the source. Personally, I think the source is good as is and any changes anyone thinks needs to be done, should be done by that person. If they choose to release something, fine. If not, oh well.
No offense to Robin or DFA, but none of us asked you guys to help the way you did. I can't speak for everyone, but I damn sure appreciate what you two have done. Robin has gotten many people over the noob status and talked them into diving head first into the source and LEARN. DFA is the entire reason the MS4 project exists at all.
The problem is, you guys seem to think you deserve more for your voluntary work. I don't agree. A lot of people have helped around here and as Robin has pointed out in the past, it only takes a week or two before your deeds have been forgotten. Just don't expect people to remember every thing you've done and a lot of the drama will go away. That goes for EVERYONE, not just them.
