Technic Mod Pack

@Magmarashi: Fair enough, I can accept that. I suppose I should have clarified that I was referring to the thread participants as a localized swarm since this obviously isn't a SA wide argument because it is extraordinarily large and diverse. It's easy use inappropriate generalities in situations like this.

Hey, we all do it sometimes. Just wanted to clear things up just in case.

Honestly, people give 'goons' waaay too much credit and come up with crazy paranoid conspiracies based on word of mouth or incidents that were years in the evolving. The all-mighty, all-consuming 'Goonswarm' is no more a real threat or a real concern then the dreaded "anonymous". It rides on a wave of mystique and dread fueled not by them but by everyone else around the internet. Like Magus.

How bout modders stop using adf.ly as soon as they stop monetizing their youtube videos.

EDIT: Yea, I broke my shut up and play comment but whatever :P

I agree with you, but how about you stop posting to a thread after telling everyone to stfu? If you don't want to participate in a conversation...then don't.

Lol yea I realized that I broke that rule right before you posted this. TBH It was more or less to shut up about the mod pack and play, while this was regarding the Yogscast but oh well.

They aren't half as bad as you make them out to be, and people making them out to be worse then they are just confounds things was the point I was making. Hope this helps.

It doesn't, because then I'll have to accept their outlandish behavior... which goes against my own principles in result because that'll mean their actions are excusable to a certain degree (which they aren't)....

Yeah, seriously man, I'm not exactly going to cut them some slack while they continue to hurl insults at me (as idiotic and ineffective as they are). Fuck'em and the self-entitled horse they rode in on.

EDIT: Actually, I think I'll take a page from SA's forums here and start issuing one day bans to anyone who defends them.

No, Anon can be powerful sometimes. Admittedly most of the time any concentrated efforts from Anonymous are just fucking around, like the Forever Alone flash mob, but that's not always the case.

You'll never ever see me defend them, ever. I'll defend you before them in a heart beat, these idiots can't even handle block ID errors. I have BC, BTW. IC2 and EE running with TF2 TP, Portalgun, Wireless Redstone and Elo's stuff and I did it all MYSELF using Sharose's ID resolver which set everything automatically in-game in a place I could see it. You stick to your guns FC, :)

Hey man, if they won't even let someone say the slightest bit of good about me on their forums without cutting them off, I'll happily return the favor here.

As I said: Fuck'em.

Fuck'em is right, if I had it my way SA forums would be banned from the internet, and EVERYONE on the SA forums would loose their internet access, but I really really hate them.

Hi there,

He didn't get probated for defending BTW in the Minecraft Mod thread. Most likely the Mod who probated him doesn't even know what BTW is. The actual rule is that you should lurk before posting. If you post on the first day you register, you are highly likely to get probated. This is because this is the first rule in the forums: http://www.somethingawful.com/d/forum-r ... -rules.php

I will cut out that rule for brevity and post it here.

Lurk before posting! We cannot stress this enough. Each forum pretty much makes it clear from its name and description what is acceptable in there or not. Be sure you have the appropriate forum before posting. If there is no forum dedicated to the topic you wish to discuss, use General Bullshit. Do NOT post porn or any "questionable" material in GBS; if you would be uncomfortable viewing it at work, do not post it there. Keep all disgusting pics in FYAD. Additionally, please check to see if your post is a redux (it has already been posted before by another forum member).

Basically he was fuelling mod drama, which was driving the thread off topic (which was talking about cool mods and tilesets). The Games subforum is particularly sensitive to that since people get really angry about playing video games.

Hey man, if they won't even let someone say the slightest bit of good about me on their forums without cutting them off, I'll happily return the favor here.

As I said: Fuck'em.

Hey man, if you don't want to actually understand what really happened with the probation or anything else, nobody will take the reciprocal effort of understanding you at SA. Deal?

Lol! So the rampant insults directed towards me and using the SA forum as a access point for illegal downloads of copyrighted software is some kind of constructive conversation about Minecraft and modding?

Pulease. Ban number 2.

I have no idea what's going on I though I understood but now It seems that if I go to SA I'm a bad guy.

Nah. If you go on SA, insult FC and other mod developers, and download this mod pack your a bad guy, but otherwise, no worries :p

[deatharcane]

Ok the people who are downing the SA forums and the Yogiverse forums.... your just as childish as the SA forums and why your attacking yogscast for implementing something that was avaliable on the web to everybody by a simple google search is beyond me. You guys "say" your more mature and "better" than those guys at the SA forums and the yogscast but how? Your whining just as much if not more about this subject. Theres a difference between an opinion (which FC asked for) and flaming. While this has been the most hilarious and enjoyable flame war back and forth i have ever seen both sides of this argument are bring down the MC community as a whole. People are going to look back on this little incident and laugh at the idocracy that is going on right now. ESPICALLY how it all started over a modpack.

Flower Child this is to you and i know youll see this, Come one. Seriously. Your a great modder and if your truley love coding and modding youll keep doing it no matter what. But right now your complaining literally about publicity which, first off, shouldnt matter at all. it's just a mod nothing great will ever come out of it outside of minecraft and it certaintly wont get you anywhere far in life except you can put down in a resume that you know how to code in java which any smhuck can learn hell i learned it in 3 hours and had my own mod out within 6. Another thing your whole "copyright" your copyrighting something that has already been copyrighted. MC forums recomended CR's are a joke there is nothing holding it up legal wise just something that you can post and say it has so people are going to just point and laugh and say to fuck with it and do what they want. Why are you acting all insulted and hurt that your mod got onto the yogscast? because 1/3 of the MC community watches them? because its going to make your mod more popular? or because they didnt click on the link on the OP? is it a honor thing? if so get over it its a game its coding its suppose to be fun for everybody but things like this start flame wars and thats it. no game has had a more annoying modding community than MC has and its because someone got the idea "hey im going to copyright a copyrighted game when the terms of use originally said that i cant distribute mods in the first place". Modders are luckily to be able to distribute their mods at all because Notch is nice but its because of over sensitive people that Mojang has to constantly monitor their chat channels for complaints that are mainly against modders more and more. Whats my point? My point is get over it it happened and there's nothing you can do about it. Itll stay forever posted up in SA forums and i for one am happy that someone is actually taking a stand against selfish modders. Does it mean that i downloaded it? no. i took the special route jsut for you FC i downloaded each individually and put them all in my jar :3 took me a hell of a lot longer and made me not want to play the game once i was done and thats the point. kaker made a mod pack so we wouldnt have to shit around with time. MC is no different than WoW when it comes to Mods packs are going to come out that better the game and generally modders love that their mod is getting played either way. In no way am i flaming you im telling you how it is.

With effort comes rewards, my friend.

I guarantee that if you did it again, it'd take half the time.

Lesson learned here: Not every mod is going to be in a modpack. So you're going to have to learn how to do it yourself.

Or you could just beg Kaker and others to just include every mod on the Minecraft forums in a single modpack. (Somehow.)

@FC: I dunno about the route you're taking, it seems like you're kinda flippin' your tophat. But hey, I'm not going to argue with you. It's your site, and I could care less how you run it. I most definitely don't agree with the actions that they've taken over at SA (whether it be the actual creation of the modpack against your will or the continual insults that they've slung left and right at you and your work), so I know I'm not in the line of fire. Further more, proceed as you will uninterrupted, Commander.

EDIT: Heh... FC, I think you'll get a kick out of this one:

I discovered that turning off BetterThanWolves through the config files doesn't actually stop BTW from trying to run. It still shows main menu messages, repeatedly crashes if you hit grass that happens to have hemp seeds in it, and I swear it's doing weird things to my walk speed.

I'd like to take a moment to remind everyone that this wouldn't be happening if Kaker hadn't put BTW in the modpack. Hats off to him.

This is incredibly off-topic but i just realised your names is pronounced like Quilt and not kwlit

Back on topic, I really think this thing has gone too far, but i do admire you FC for sticking to your guns and putting up with another (all though smaller still just as potent) wave of shit. I am glad to see you decided not to give up modding for good even though I haven't played Minecraft since 1.6, i just enjoy seeing the incredible creations you, and other members of this forum, can come up with.
Thanks again to you and this community for being so awesome.

Actually, it's pronounced either way. But that's neither here nor there.

EDIT: This amuses me as well.

Alas no. I followed 2 of your guides, disabled BTW, Millenaire and moCreatures and still got a crash in the first minute of play. Curse you FlowerChild!

Someone puts your mod in a pack against your will, thus taking any burden for breaks? Blame you for breaks anyways.
