No. i'm saying he wouldn't have destroyed everything.. he's learning, he's been learning for over 3 months to what i've seen.. apparently he learned not to install back doors. lol
I would take action against drplump, what he did was stupid, but I find it funny to blame him for the down time, and to start making him look like some evil hacker retard. I mean, even if he is, do you really think drplump would take down the eqemu project?
My reasoning for saying a few of the devs are "careless" about a -few- things of the projects is because they don't expect shit like this to happen when people blatently point out vunerabilities in the website, or something of that sort, then you get some sort of responce that "Lol! I don't even have access to the website!". Which later you find out only LE has access to the website, that's cool, but when he doesn't even listen to you, because apparently you are a "nobody" in the community, then bam, theres a hole in the site thats just waiting for someone to exploit, and when a few of the devs, or even just one, has a conflict with someone, then you have someone who could use that vunerability.
This might not have been the case with DRPLUMP, but what do you think, you gave him access to the website, even if it was his little pictures of people from the eqemu project that 1, if not 2 even cared about. What can you expect? You obviously trusted him enough at that point.
(@LE: Apparently this is what I heard, that the information was forwarded to you.. and also whenever I tried to talk to you, it always resulted in me being ignored.. which was tried over for a 2 week period.. bad timing, or something? PM Me if you care about this exploit, and i'll show you.)
Hypocritical, and irony, is that the same exploit that was used against LV, or similar, is on this website. And still, I told a dev about this, and yet it's still there, and no one cared. I don't hate the devs, or the project as people seem to think, i'm just stating my opinion on the matter.. so please, shoot me.
But yeah, back to the part that I actually care about.
x-scythe: I agree to a little extent. You are right on the part that with all the major expansions, and changes that the project has had a lot of updating, especially with little help from people packetcollecting, and a small programming team to keep everything going.
I'm not arguing saying "WHINE WHINE UPDATES ARENT EVERY DAY, OH MY GOD, THIS IS GAY". Far from it, I understand the situation, it's a free project, besides the immense amounts of donations, and people are doing this in their spare time.
I think one thing I remember was that the project was like.. super-active, then active, then it became super-active again, but then it died down a little, then it was like soft simmer for awhile because of all the updates they had to make just to keep the emulator alive. Then it started to get pretty good again at 4.4, but then it started to get screwed over again for awhile (everyone remembers that bitchy few months where 3/4 of the forums were all looking for a watch to patch back (cant say the word!) lol)
You can even tell that the dev team is so small, because they are having junior dev contests.
Anyways.
I still stand by my opinion, that until this project gets more user support, I think it's going to stay at a certain point.
Which is ironic, because they even made simple tools for people to run, just to collect the stuff, and it automatically puts it in format that you can send it, if not sent the data straight to them.. just simply run the program.. didn't even need to money donate.
Which reminds me, now that i'm getting back into EQ, I mine as well run it.. it just sits in the background, heh.
