Craze - Somewhat concerned
« on: December 22, 2006, 01:35:59 pm »
Well, Craze just refuses to be ignored.
/index.php/topic,609.0.html
But I ask you guys to please not respond.
At this point in time, I'm not going to lock the topic, or respond.
Here is why I personally don't like what he did.
He gathered several scripts for Gmod9 together, modified them all, including ULX, and then released them.
No, he's not taking credit for writing any of the actual script base, but he is taking credit for changes he made.
Why do I not like this?
It has too much chance of coming back to haunt the developers. (Not just Ulysses, but others too)
Someone may come to us and ask 'why doesn't function xyz work', and you know how easy users accept the fact when we tell them we didn't write that function xyz.

I only see one thing of use anyway that he added to ULX. He made it so that MingeBag's have one minute to change thier name before being kicked.
Other than that, I think his additions were already included in latest versions of ULX/ULib.

So, I'm ignoring him, again.

I wasn't intentionally ignoring him originally, just I didn't have anything to say. I don't remember his list of suggestions off the top of my head, but they seemed pretty good.
