I thought what I had set up was working fine. Everything I do, involves a lot of time thought, and work - more than all of you because I'm a slow thinker and a slow typer ( I hardly know how to type).
A lot of things I did here in the database and in these forums, no one never even thought to do before. I risked the criticism, and went ahead an did them anyway. This resulted in people working together outside the silent "Dev" group and created vast improvements to the Eqemu database, forums, and source.
I don't want to be part of any remnant "EqEmu" team anymore and removed myself from the admins. The star removals frustrate me too much, I know a lot of you people worked hard and liked your "stars", so I'm gone with you all - the only ones who protested, where the jealous ones who did no public work, or just worked on their "custom" servers.
What's next will ensure I remain "booted" from here, and I don't really care anymore;
EqEmu means Everquest Emulator - The goal here is to emulate the Everquest Emulator and this should be the priority. All the "Custom" servers custom work, should not even be permitted.
Like I suggested before, The most that could be done is re vamp the login server , to where it's separated to true supervised/ legit, Everquest-emulated servers- then provide for custom servers , and maybe another for the "free-for-all" servers. The Forums should have nothing to do with customization of EqEmu. I know this will be impossible, because in reality, these forums and the Login server are in control by the "free for all" and custom server owners, who believe this is not to their best interest.
I tried everything here, when I joined EqEmu forums over a year ago, I right-away wanted people posting fixes and better quality of the emulator. No one was doing anything, EqEmu was dead at the time. I started posting every little crappy assed fix I had to anything, in hopes others would follow sample. Eventually, it evolved into the "star" ranks, in which things were starting to look good tell today (lots of very nice fixes came from all you "star" people).
But, like they say, "All good things must come to an end".
