Damn Juggs, you've got your own little war going over here....I might have expected as much
I'm going to hit these issues one at a time.
1. Crediting Original Authors- I, for one think that this is something that should be done. Yes, this is the Internet, yes the Internet is a great source of free information, and while I don't think it is neccessary to credit someone, it is a nice gesture. As for some of the people who have posted in this thread whining about copyrights and plagiarism.....have you downloaded mp3's? That you don't the original album of? Are you now a hypocrite? Enough said....
2. Maturity- I don't know if any of you realized this or not, but Juggs here is pushing into his 30's. He likes to have a little fun from time to time, but as a general rule he is mature and is a very good senior mod over at http://www.gamer-networks.com I would like to say that I am a very good mod on the same forums, but I think that the measure of a mod is in the opinions of his users. I don't think anyone on TGN is a fascist, to quote avalon, but we don't condone flaming. Life is tough enough in the rw, why should we treat each other like crap on the internet? There are mods and users on my forums that I don't like as much as I perhaps should, but I maintain a professional relationship. I look at our rules and I enforce them. I will post something originally written down by Brevet Major William J. Worth in his Battalion Orders dated 22 Dec. 1820
...But an officer on duty knows now one. To be partial is to dishonor both himself and the object of his ill-advised favor...look at him who winks at and overlooks offenses in one, which he causes to be punished in another and contrast him with the inflexible soldier who does his duty faithfully, notwithstanding it occasionally wars with his private feelings. The conduct of the one will be venerated and emulated, the other detested as a satire upon soldiership and honor.
Every time I am tempted to be immature and flame a user or do anything of the sort I just look at Major Worth's words which I have posted on my desk, and I am reminded of what a true officer and gentleman is. (I went to a military academy, just in case you were wondering). Anyways, if everyone is mature, the world will be a much better place. You don't even really have to be mature in the rw, just act that way on the internet and things will be alot smoother.
3. TGN v. BattleForums- I have no opinion on this matter and I don't really think any of you should either. I personally think that both forums have their pluses and minuses. Juggs is right, we have been around quite awhile. We hosted d2hackit, and we hosted mousepad for a bit as well. I personally am not too familiar with battleforums, but from what I have seen thus far I am impressed, with the exception of the actions of a few of your users, but I know that goes both ways....every forum has users and moderators who don't always have the best judgment or a big enough dose of no. 2 (see above).
4. Conclusion- Let's all just be friends. Juggs gets bored and he likes to play with immature people when he's bored. It really amuses the sh1t out of him, so the more you try to flame him the more he is going to enjoy it. If you don't play, he'll eventually stop And I will tell you now, wiser and better men than most of you have tried before to f@ck with Juggs and have failed....he is perhaps the most secure person I know. I, thankfully, am on a college campus and therefore don't have my own unique outside ip, so I at least think I'm secure, don't burst my bubble please I think that you guys are probably as tired of this as we are, and I can wholeheartedly say that I am sorry it happened. I wish that instead of getting regular users involved you might have done the wiser thing and pm'd one of our mods/sup. mods/admins and let us handle it behind the scenes. It would have saved alot of this strife. You noticed how once DarkBlade im'd me on AIM things started to get done? That's because you contacted a member of the staff, rather than going on the forums and posting a bunch of unintelligible censored expletives. I think we may have all learned a lesson from that. I don't want this one incident to have ruined any relationship that our forums have/might have in the future. Thanks for your time.
