Since the dead are coming back to life in this thread, I should post my 2 cents.

Trump also quit on eqemu after receiving my message.

My decision to quit eqemu was based on my real life priorities, not any problems with the development team. In fact, it was a significant period of time after you departed. I frankly just dont have time for it anymore.
While I may or may not agree with everything everyone does, this is a very loose opensource project. Not everyone has the background and experience in project planning, Q&A, performance testing, development lifecycle strategies, etc, that others do, and to make attacks ad hominem because they don't see your point of view is exceedingly childish.

been given the chance to vigorously defend my own contributions

You were never denied the chance, it just a simple fact that none of us agreed with you, and you stormed off irate about it. You are a gifted coder, but your inability to integrate with others is demonstrative of one of the major problems in the IT industry. Teamwork is about compromise, acceptence when someone does not share your views, and ability to continue without emotion. I can see that you take great pride and ownership of your creations, but chastising those that don't share your opinion isolates you as emotionally challenged. I've fired plenty of gifted programmers in my life because of those attitudes, its counter productive to a collaborative working environment.

Some of you, like m0oni9, obviously have some class and intelligence

Being classified as intelligent and classy is extremely easy in your world, you just need to agree with you. Personally I have more respect for people that challenge my ideas when they disagree, but to each their own, i'm not a control freak.
I can vouch that Scorp is definitely not a jackass, in fact he is probably one of the best advocates of ethical practices i've seen in awhile. devnoob on the other hand (LOL)!
There is no formal recogition process, but look at the user base of EQEMU versus much larger open source projects. If 5 million people had eqemu on their desktops, there might be a more definite recognition program, but lets be honest here. This project is SMALL potatoes in scale compared to many other open source projects (such as Mozilla). It is an adolescent project, and has no desire to go past that. Would it be more efficient with a better strtegy? Of course. Is it needed? Not really
