The Random Blabber Topic

Thank you for teaching me, I'm not really affected anymore to what he did to my work after reading all your messages. He deserve a cr*ppy damage data

I keep my good work on this forum, and I now know where the "real" sor community is.

During last autumn, I've contacted Matthew J.Drury SoR online administrator. I think his website is a real shrine dedicate to SoRFan and I respect it, him and his work a lot (and I do mean "A LOT").

I've contacted him to know if he was interested in publishing the damage data I gathered for SoRRv5 on his website. He answer me that he would be interested and I told him I will update everything, made a total refont to have something more reliable and readable and then send him the document.

I mailed him few days ago to told him I finally finished it, with a lot of apologize for being late (lots of work on my website, but who care?). I was still waiting for his answering when I saw this:
http://www.sor online.net/sorr_moves.htm [remove the blank to get redirected]

Not a mail, not a word, not a PM nothing. I didn't even know when this was published.
I'm not credited and I just don't f*cking care about being credited.

What makes me sad is that some data are corrupted (wrong value inputed by "random people"), some of my mistakes that have been corrected in my last update are published and on top of that, illustrations are not finished.

I think this is not respectful neither for SoR Users who deserve a correct and finish work, nor for people who gathered the data (and I do it alone since no-one helped me, and I'm ok with it, don't worry).

ie: What if I downloaded a mod from lucasHB then freely changing stuff in it, publishing it on my website and then crediting "thanks for SoRR community".

How would you feel? Maybe something like "unfair"...
This neither anger nor rage that I feel. Only sadness and disappointement. Publishing a work on SoR online was a dream for me, and what I see is just b*llshit compare to what Truncated made for SoR2 and 3.

Thank you for reading...

Do what you want for your website even if I think that destroying a website is always bad since users just don't care, they want data base on the internet and they deserve to have it (this is the way i see the world, ego = b*llshit / internet = community work).

If you are curious about my life: someone destroy my website during last december: 6 months of hard work publishing tutorials for fighting games throw in the trash can by the administrator without even ask me for backup first.

So I'm a bit fed up and sick and tired by all of this by now. Publishing on your website was a dream for me but do what you want, credit me if you want, destroy your site if you want, corrupt the data if you want: I just do not care anymore.

Take care of your family and I wish you the best and I do think that (don't trust me if you want but I mean it).

The ports issue was a huge disrespect to the creators of those. If none of us were calling you out for that in the facebook page, I'm rather sure the files would have been like they were intended to be: to give credit to Eidolon (which happens to be you), a very false credit.

The BigDarsh issue here also brings a rather questionable perspective. Placeholder or not, his material shouldn't have been posted until the final version and the proper credit would be displayed. That's a basic rule of respect and courtesy. We all have problems in our respective private life and sometimes we don't have time to deal with things online as we should, but then again, that's not pretext to simply wait until the proper things are done. Once again, if BigDarsh here didn't mention this issue publicly maybe things wouldn't be changed.

I personally have no beef towards you or anyone within your crew, but your OWN actions have left us distrustful and wary of what you do with SORR content. We don't appreciate have the stuff discredited, regardless if it wasn't intended to be or not. We don't care about excuses, we honestly don't care about your private life (probly the same way you don't care about ours either), if you decide to close your site it's your choice and it's solely your responsibility if you do so. Stop pointing fingers to others from the reactions that our community has from your actions. Only irresponsible people do that. None of us ever messed with *** and I guess we never will. But don't blame us from feeling defensive and distrustful against you because, to be frank, all this brought it yourself.

I said this before and I'll say it again for the record: NOBODY HERE HAS ANYTHING AGAINST YOU OR YOUR SITE. It's up to you whether you believe it or not. However, we are neither interested in have to do anything with it either. There is people who frequent both sites and diversity it's always a good thing. I personally respect part of the exposure you've done for the game including my mods, but I don't like people taking the credit that others deserve. That ain't right.

So, the fate you decide to your site it's up to you. Feel free to walk your own path and I'm sure you'll always have people following you and your site, but please leave us go our own too. Let's leave things in peace without beef or passive-aggressive actions, keep the respect but... each of us in our own way.

That's all, once again I say for the third time THIS AIN'T PERSONAL. That's it. Good luck to you.

You really can't blame anyone for being suspicious given your track record. It's like how I used to live in Detroit and was suspicious of everyone since the track record of Detroit as a whole is awful. Just because I hadn't been robbed the last 2 years I lived there didn't mean I was letting my guard down to be robbed again.

And I'm sorry about your pops, but you can't blame us for being uninformed. Especially when you have time to post "RIP Lucasarts" and how crappy your job is instead of this seemingly much more important matter.

I don't think something that personal really needs to be spoken about, I don't even see it viable here despite being an explanation for his absence. Suspicious is one thing but bandwagoning like in this case where BigDarsh actually made a legit complaint about something is stupid. Willing to bet half of the members doing it here don't even know much of shit about why all this started in the first place. I'm a Mod at SoRO and even when matt himself says some crap I step in and say something. Why is it someone who supposedly has no relevance here get talked about so much then to top it off all these smug ass backhanded comments that everyone KNOWS is going to start some shit but then members bitch and complain when he retaliates? The shit is worse than the sonic cycle at this point.

Anyway I agree DV said it best, it's better to agree to disagree. It's 2013 this dates back FOREVER ago and even this community has a grand history of BS including starting this over some fan novels that no one was forced to read. This isn't some defensive post either, I can't vouch for Matt but quite a few members on both sides of the community are just as annoyed by the stupidity of it all as I am.

and she was like "nono wasn't raped" but then she was all "or was i?"

I mean.. I know some people enjoy their rape fanfics, but I do not.

Enjoyable show, but.. I'd give it a 6.5 out of 10, although seeing Carl..

I mean it's not the first thing I'd think to do in that situation, but it's the quickest way to let family know. It's not smug, or backhanded to inform someone of something that has happened on MULTIPLE occasions. I agree the novels aren't worth bringing up anymore, but There's a bunch more I won't bother bringing up, but it doesn't just stem from some childhood mistake he made. Not that any of this is a valid reason for anyone to have a personal vendetta against the guy, but it's more than enough to steer us away from the site, and jump to conclusions when something smells fishy. Hell I was a member and a mod at his site, personally I liked working with him at the time. But his repeated poor decisions made me not want to be involved anymore.

perhaps you forgot the time he decided to pose as Johnny Hughson to give himself the official blessing to continue ***?

Or the time he made the horrible decision to make Red Rum an Admin?

4. No personal discussions, no references to other sites or banned members for the purposes of flaming.

It still sucks though, there stuff I don't even bother sharing on anything so I kinda don't see it viable to expect out of someone else

I'm not really disagreeing with any of that, I was in the same position but...

as suspicious as it seems there's still no proof honestly and I was suspicious of it myself among other things.

Besides it's the main event of the year, the Super Bowl, World Cup, etc. of the wrestling world, so it's going to be good fun to watch I thought.

That was easily the worst Wrestlemania I've seen in a long, long time. The only good match tonight was Undertaker/CM Punk. Other than that, it was meeeeeeeh. I was reminded quickly why I stopped watching wrestling eight years ago, it has gotten so stale.
