*sigh* it's been done.
www.eqemu.org now points at
www.hackersquest.org. It's discusting to see people with proven skills resort to such childish actions. I don't know the whole story, but regardless, two wrongs have never made a right.
This has been proven through history, from the earliest cavemen to the most sophisticated technological governments. An example of this, December 1941, the Japanese launch an attack against the neutral american forces at the hawaiian naval base known as Pearl Harbor. This has been known through history as a huge wrong. In retaliation the Americans drop a nuclear warhead on downtown hiroshima, revenge yes, right - no. Here we see two wrongs costing hundreds of lives. Military entheusists will call it a victory, I call it alot of useless killing and damge.
About 60 years later not alot has changed. Dispite the inventions of the internet, the intercontinental ballistics missile, and sonic speed travel, we still resort to rock slinging and name calling to resolve what shouldn't even be issues. Primitive yes, as deadily as a nuclear warhead in the living room of some Japanese guy, hell no.
Before you roll your eyes and think 'what a tard" please note there is an ambient point to all of this. I don't care who did what, who called who what, who called who's mom what, for this thing to survive you must get your priorities straight. I've spent the majority of my recent tme on the "job force" in management positions. If this was a company with real employees that was turning a profit, i'd see the amount of disgruntled people as a huge red flag.
The huge difference between an employee/company situation and a volunteer/open source project is very plain and simple, money. It can be a difficult job raising morale among people who make a dollar profit from doing their work, it's 10 times more difficult to keep a volunteer happy. This is a point where you seriously need to gather who's left and have a serious talk with them. Today it's jacking domains, tomorrow it could be clearing web directories. The project's survival depends on one thing, the development team's desire to continue.
You can easily swing back and recover from the damage Lyenu has done only if the rest of your team is ready and willing to help. Also keep in mind that the damage *IS* done, and that more damage at this point would add severely to what has already been done. This is a critical moment for your guys. With what you've built so far I wouldn't be so easy to let Lyenu win, and surrender. If you don't have the resources to continue though, it might not be a bad idea to cut your losses. You have earned my respect from the work you've done thus far, and i've been watching this project for quite a while now. I'd really hate to see a good thing come to an end. I trust you'll make the right decision.
Couldn't post in the news forum, so i posted here.
