I should note that ignoring other beliefs, silencing and ridiculing them and harassing such people ALSO happened as part of #3. And i can not help but have come to the same conclusion a few days ago: this is looking a lot like how the Nazis became big (not what they actually did) Actually, any self...

We've already seen how this all plays out, and I'm frankly exhausted in fighting against it while being vilified for it all the while. Actually, those modders who didn't support you will one day be very, very sorry - when next generation of 'do-gooders', this time with the support of the community,...

Oh well, so it's the official stance of the BWF people: Can I ask why you're posting a chat log from close to a month ago? Because I found it today and made the connection to the twitter account. Edit: which gives more reason to twitter account being legit. Edit2: ok, sorry for unearthing old thing...

Oh well, so it's the official stance of the BWF people: http://pastebin.com/3YKGgDtR http://t4nk.org/espernet/bwf/ So in fact, the 'BWF guy' is now officially a jerk who just wants to take someone else's work just because it's 'not against the law'. He's not misguided and innocent, he's full of ill ...

Of course, if that was the BWF guy, and not just some troll. I was convinced so, but now I have some doubts: - why is the real BWF guy silent then? I mean, if someone was impersonating him on Twitter, he should react. Had a few days, didn't - making the account private would lend some credibility to...

Actually that is a disuputed fact as the person who was advertising it was themattabase (with lex being an ass on the stream) and the people who actually made it public (rather then just the 2-3 hundred people who watch Mattabase's stream) was the technic forums posting the log of flowerchild venti...

So basically Lex personally started this whole affair by a public promotion (an undisputed fact) and so he's directly responsible for whatever outcome it has. Worse, he perfectly knew that BWF was in the wrong (copyright and all), and while the 'BWF guy' can claim ignorance of circumstances (he does...

Mattabase's stream was almost a month ago ... do you have any evidence that LexManos has done anything _at all_ involving BWF after that? Evidence? Let's recap: - Lex promoted the guy at large (by that stream) - Lex claims to be the one to know the 'BWF' guy and having contact to him/her - 'BWF' Tw...

Well, assuming it IS actually him, and not a troll account... I'm 99% certain it's a troll. All the attacks on BTW community, plus the blatant threat and blackmail against FC ("I'm planning on releasing"). But there's an other side to this. If this is not the real 'BWF', the real 'BWF' sh...

That in combination with his support of BWF amounts to him saying "yes, we ask modders for permission...they just aren't allowed to say no", which obviously just makes a shitload of sense. Yes, it amounts precisely to that. Everything is fine and dandy until you're an obstacle on the way ...

The BetterWithForge on twitter seem to be either a troll, or not a good/innocent guy people portrait him as (if he's the one who made BWF, which I begin to doubt). Some quotes: "@Ivyyn Resistance? Forge is just a very useful API, anyone who does not use it is doing things very difficult. "...

He doesn't seem like a bad guy, nor does he seem to be doing this with bad intentions. But he is still doing it and not keeping it very private at all. He made a Twitter account named BetterWithForge. He says he distributes the mod to some people who PM him. So he is public about his work and distr...

There's no need to be so confrontational. He's banned now anyway, give it a rest This wasn't confrontational - I just stated clearly what his line of reasoning amounts to. Bare facts without fancy words covering the truth. An often necessary reduction. I didn't know he was banned when I was writing...

BWF was, in my opinion, a misguided but genuine attempt at unifying those two things. Then, by your line of reasoning, I am absolutely free in the future to take anyone's mod, for example Azanor's Thaumcraft 2, and rewrite it for 1.4.5, just because I prefer 2 to 3? :P It will be genuine! I can saf...

That being said, I have other concerns about aspects of this community and the MCF community. Without going into too much detail on my objection (as it will inevitably become a discussion of politics), I took issue with the use of the anti-date rape slogan and proposed imagery in the support banner...

So *he* calls himself a Coding God?

It puts his accusations of inflated ego made against Flower Child in a very different light :)

While I admire the effort, I still can't stop myself from thinking it's not the kind of mature support that will work in the PR way :P Sorry.

Thanks for spotting that, I got tangled in the quotes... fixed now :P

You'll also notice, that unlike other modders, I very rarely bitch about Mojang's code, and tend to come down pretty hard on people when they do. This is precisely because I have such an extensive knowledge of real world programming, and thus also understand that *real* production code inevitably i...

a) I think they severely overestimated how much the MC community hates me. Sure...I've got a ton of hate out there for me, but as you said, it's largely down to the 14 year olds, NOT the mature and intelligent individuals that tend to like to play BTW (largely because the mod is designed specifical...

Azradun - first, hi (: Secondly - Graphite is not asking that to support slowpoke, and is a member of the community - he understands the issue, he's just trying (I think) to sort out the issue regarding slowpoke and FTB. He's simply acting as a middle man here, so don't shoot the messenger (: EDIT:...

After some discussion with Slowpoke, I'll just leave this question here. Any chance you could see yourself giving a straight out "yes" or "no" answer? It doesn't have to be based in legality or morality. Personal opinion is just fine. It might seem obvious after the past few day...

Why does LexManos publicly review something that's not moral or ok to even exist in the first place? Hell, it's sort of like the late Steve Jobs advertising pirate copies of Windows on TV. And then denying all involvement :) This, and Slowpoke's comments on IRC ("you can't stop it") stink ...
