Why did TRM delete his thread and stop work on his repack?

A lot of you are asking this question, and I'll answer it in a few statements.

1. My laptop, which was my dev machine's motherboard fried.

2. I've been noticing a few repacks on this forum have copied SQL files directly from either my topic or from within my repack and used them without permission. (This includes a moderator of some note)

3. Too many ac-webians and mmow-n-ders who can't read have been posting stupid questions, comments in my topic.

4. This place has been going downhill since a few people have been given Super Moderator and Developer positions.


Hope that clears it up.

There isn't Developer position here...

It's Open Source for a reason, if you don't want people taking your work, don't release it.

I don't mean to seem like I'm being a dick, but when people stole my work, this is what everyone said.

I feel, if you take something that isn't yours, and implement it into something that's yours, you should always give credits.

But it's not the way open source works.

Wow... After coming backto emu after almost a year, I see this very intriguing post... Emulation will never change... :P

Sorry to hear you say that, I know how it feels being copy+pasted. It's your decision MoBro!

Sorry to hear about the misfortunes, man.Whatever you do I support your decision.

I think its a huge loss to a great community. I can honestly say without a shadow of a doubt that Your repacks Meth where in my opinion the best of the best. I had previously tried a fair few repacks from diff people and not one of them was as stable or had as much work put into them than yours. I did post to say sorry to hear about lappy Meth in your thread but since that's gone I thought i would say it again.

As for somebody else using your work without your permission or adding credit to you. I understand that would make you mad with all the work you have put in. However there could be a backhanded compliment to you as a result. Since who ever it was, A. Either couldn't do what you had done so had copied it for that reason (backhanded compliment) or B. Was just plain too lazy to even try.

On the matter of people from other forums coming in. I can't say one way or the other if this is where the morons are coming from. Sadly things like that will happen with anything and everything there is no way to live life without incompetent idiots. The best we can do is try to ignore them or try to avoid them. It would seem you are going to take the avoid them route. (@ TheRealMethuselah You will be a very big loss to these forums for all of you very hard work and dedication that you provided us with)

On the last topic of the forums going downhill. I think that will happen if people like yourself leave.

Well that's my thoughts on the whole situation. Hopefully Meth you will stay with us and as hard as it may seem with your laptop dying and all. I for one am praying you do continue your work for those of us who do appreciate it.

Much Brotherly Love for you TheRealMethuselah

Edit: wow my post count is down to 4 since you have deleted your thread

awwwwww :(

in my opinion, TRM is not going to come back. this is the 2nd time he has deleted his thread because of people not following instructions. this is a very sad day. and TRM, if your reading this thread, i want you to keep developing your repack. keep making it better and better. never quit. i don't care if you post it for use to have or not.

to all others who have asked "stupid" questions, shame on you, to the person that stole content from TRM, shame on you...

because of the actions of 100, you ruined the fun for 1000's

Just make it so the db configs are INSIDE the repacks(.exe's), not in the configs...

Then also make programs to insert stuff but not dump info.

Then no one will know the MySQL info, so they can't jack your stuff ;)

Shouldn't be hard to do, i can help with the DB configs inside the core.

WigSplitta +rep for you sir. For your commitment to try and keep TRM with us.

I'm against repacks...but TRM did an amazing job on this one...
