Great job, Charyb! You're right that this is indeed the heart of the issue. I do feel there is a secondary issue though, but it can't be codified into a set of rules -- encouraging creators to have a sharing mindset and to give people the benefit of the doubt, while also encouraging those who...

Just a small update on this... we have a SECRET GUEST who will also be joining us... I wish I could tell you who it was, but unfortunately I am not allowed to. He has a very tangential relationship with SRB2, but is associated more often with the Sonic community at large. Considering I've come...

Nev3r, please bring back your Hydrocity maps. Retexture them, and wow, what a great DSZ2!

Never liked Aerial Garden, was never part of original plans, and only in Mystic Realm. When I saw it in 2.2, I wondered why it was there... it should stay a part of Mystic Realm. Ditto for Azure Temple. It should move to Mystic Realm as an extra stage or something. Mystic doesn't make good...

You know, this always strikes a sore spot for me -- I was personally *very* unhappy with Spazzo's behavior during the RPP:PC release. I'm not sure what he said to everyone, but I'd be very much against him exclusively pulling people away from SRB2 to work on something that was effectively just...

Alright, it's time to make my post. Really, it needed to wait a few more days, but it's apparent that it cannot wait. I really put my foot in my mouth with my posts earlier in this thread. I made them while I was at a rest stop on the road, and really should have given more time and thought to...

Bingo. All of his work was done independently, and we effectively stole it (GPL, yay). Because we didn’t want to be total jerks about stealing his code, we gave him a credit line. Unfortunately, now it has to be answered for.

Alright, sorry, I misinterpreted what Ash was saying. I thought he was asking me why I had allowed him on the team when I knew what he was doing, when that is false, and I had no idea of the things he was doing. So Ash, please accept my apology. I know this situation has been hard on so many...

I rest my case. You can even ask Alam and Logan to pull the old SVN logs to prove that JTE had NO team access or involvement other than us lifting code from one of his projects, as Jazz said. I’m happy to trade apologies if you are willing.

a) let’s not hide this guy’s name anymore- it was JTE. b) I didn’t know anything about him or what he was doing behind the scenes at the time. I just got a bad vibe from him and thought he was creepy. c) I only saw development through 2.0.4. It’s likely he had involvement in 2.0.6 and 2.0.7. d)...

I would like to state for the record that this ‘team member’ that groomed Ash was NOT a team member during my tenure, and I actively kept him distant from such despite a large majority of members AND the community constantly praising this person. I also did not want Prime on the team, and he...

Alright, I will. Just like how I don't come by here too often anymore, I have way too much personal life stuff going on right now to do it. I'll come back in a few days hopefully and do so.

I don't think you should, because a) you're awesome, and b) hindsight is always 20/20. It's obvious that Mystic's character flaws only got worse as time went on, and also without a check on his power, it eventually did him in. It's unfortunate he had to take so many people along the way...
