If you guys want respect, be the bigger person and let it go, or at least try to solve things in a civil manner. It's not a big deal. I understand that many of you want to see some changes, hell... I do too, but this isn't the way to go about it.

If you don't feel motivated to do something, don't do it. It's simple. Move on, sell your modifications if you want to, and good luck to you. I don't bother releasing modifications here (never have, really). Why? Exactly. Why. As selfish as that sounds, I have no reason to, so I don't. I don't complain either, though.

Removing your work from here is your own decision, and though a tad childish in my opinion, it is your choice. The staff removing the threads right after seemed a bit of a rash move, but everyone seems to be a little pissed off lately, so that is understandable. Both parties are (or at least appear to be) acting out of spite. This is not good.

One thing I do disagree with is the slow production of the mods system. I'm sure a few people working together could whip something together in a matter of days. Another thing I would like to see is a wiki-style articles system here. The tutorials section seems to be the least organized area (and most useful to me). Maybe it is time to get some more staff members, and though I'm not sure what the deal is with the hacks db, having it up ASAP would really be appreciated by 90% of the users on this site.

Anyway, everyone should lighten up. Nobody is replacable; but, if you do leave, others will come. I'm glad to see many of you are keeping things civil, but to the rest of you: try it. It works. It helps. It makes everyones' lives much more pleasant.
