I wasnt going to come back and respond but I was asked to set a few things back on the correct path.
First off, money had nothing to do with my decision to quit. I made that decision based on issues that have been happening for years.
I have an issue on the forums it takes months to get any resolution because I was not trusted to have full admin power (nope had the admin name but half the admin CP couldnt be accessed). I wanted a mod on the forums, took over 2 months to get it added (the rules click mod) We had issues with spam bots, took 6 weeks to get a simple mod made to confuse the bots.
Add the fact people like cole89103 like to spout off about stuff they have no clue about (TheLieka was talking as a server OP ...server owner, didnt try to speak as a developer, so get your facts right) and I play baby sitter to a bunch of assholes, getting spammed in PM's, posts, IRC, e-mail, msn, you name it.
Then add the kicker of angelox telling me to delete the usergroups then pulling the crap he did to blame it on me and I just had enough.
I have been saying for years there needs to be more developer activity on the forums, I have been saying for years someone who was around needed access to upgrade the forums and make needed changes to the web site (I never cared if it was me, just someone needs it).
Nothing has changed, and things are getting worse, people dont bother to get the facts before spouting off and causing issues, and I got tired of playing babysitter to a bunch of elitist, demanding assholes, and not being able to see simple things get fixed.
I NEVER stated it was everyone, there is some great people in this community, 3 phone calls and about a dozen e-mails asking if i was ok (thanks to all of you, I am just getting rid of some stress).
So stop all the drama, this thread is a prime example of what had me decide to leave, this is pure crap, people trying to cause issues talking about stuff when they have no idea what there talking about.
FYI anyone can see the donations, just look at the source forge page, follow the donation link on the front page of the forums, and yes the Devs pocket it, but does that matter? it says right on the page there going to keep it for themselves, I wont lie, it would have been nice to have $ sent for me to get drunk one night after running the forums for years, but hey I am not a coder so I didnt count!
