Time for a post, to end this.
This wad, is a ripoff of someone's sprite sheet. The sheet was created by ripping sprites from a ROM (and no, I'm not asking for it). The ROM was created by some idiot buying the game, and illegally copying it to his computer somehow. The game was created by Sega. Sega created the sprites, you didn't. The point of the Editing forum is to show off something you made yourself, on your own, something that belongs to you. The problem with this, is it isn't created by you. You may have put the sprites together in a single wad to create the character, but did you create the sprites? No. Did you even credit the person who ripped them? No. Did you come to realise the reason SRB2 isn't being sued is because Sega either didn't notice, or is allowing them to create it (because they created everything on their own, but the character and game concepts came from Sonic Team of Sega, they didn't rip the sprites)? No.
It isn't a good wad, deal with it, but remember, if it sucks, then there is no reason for you to say, "oh i get it now im never going to wad again because you flamed me" because you didn't actually make anything. You aren't a true wadder until you create something, and this, is not a creation, it's an abomination. It is lies, dishonesty, thievery, and hatrid. You say you created this wad, but did you make anything? No.
Listen. If you crave respect and attention, make something worthwhile, enjoyable, and original. Originality is what SRB2 is built upon, of course. Who else would thing to rebuild the Doom Legacy engine to have a Sonic theme? It isn't even an engine hack anymore, now it is a game. If SSNTails and Sonikku didn't take criticism from the people enjoying their creation, the Suggestions topic wouldn't exist, the Bugs topic wouldn't exist, and everything you want to tell them about SRB2 wouldn't matter, because they're making it in their own eyes no matter what the hell you do. Do you think SRB2 would be as popular then? No.
If you want to become a wadder, grab some ideas from others, ask people for help, PM people for suggestions (hell, even I have many of them, and I haven't released anything here (yet)), do whatever you can to get input, and always start small, never huge (unlike Roboegg, which starts large, and fails in the end). You won't get anywhere in life by giving up, damnit! Create your own character. It may take a long time, but you will take your rightful place as a wadder, and you will be proud of yourself in the end. Take your own ideas, put them on paper. Brainstorm. Will you regret it? No.
If someone does say your wad is crap, don't overreact and do whatever they say. Follow your heart, and do what you think is right. I live like that every day of my life, and it has never failed me before. Make levels, graphic modifications, whatever the hell you please, just make sure you listen. Roboegg denies everything, see, and he gets nowhere by doing so.

Why do you think Roboegg doesn't make any good SRB2 addons? Because he doesn't listen to Critisism.
Thats a lie, and you know it is.
Now where is he? Banned for three days, and he apparently wanted it for attention, but it wasn't positive, was it? No.
He thought he could get respect by starting tons of projects, and figured he wouldn't have to finish them, or even study how to get better (I've given him tons of pointers, but he has always rejected them). Because of it, many people don't like him now. He hasn't finished anything. Litterally! Nothing of his has been finished here.
Do not be like him. Honestly, is criticism a bad thing? No.
Why does he bother? I don't know, but what's stopping you? Nothing stops me, absolutely nothing. Live and learn, that's it. That's the key. Criticism helps me, it helps everyone here too, what matters is what you do with it. Just try, you don't have to
be Mystic or SSNTails to gain respect, do you? No.
On the topic of criticism;

Seriously, why don't you guys just post something OUT of criticism? Like robo said, which he got from me as we were chatting, YOU GUYS AREN'T HELPING! Posting something to satisfy yourelf not only isn't selfishness, it's just stupid. Can't any of you just IGNORE wads you don't like?
-Josh The Hedgehog
Roboegg is wrong, Josh. Notice how he's banned now? Everything he made sucked, and he never even finished it, because he always gave up! We are helping, Josh. It helps everyone. I bet if you asked Mystic or SSNTails, they would say it helped them too. How does giving someone tips, pointers, or their own personal opinion give them pleasure? No, it isn't stupid, and what would ignoring the wads do? If someone posts something, and no one posts for a month, most likely they are going to "bump" it. They'll keep making the same thing, and no one will say anything. What happens then? Failure. Am I sure of this? Yes!
Come on guys, just take the criticism seriously! If you can't do it, then don't complain about it, just ignore it, and fail already. How do you expect to live without listening to other peoples' opinions? You are going to get
no where. You know what really sucks? The fact that I have to do this in order to make you stop! What if complaining about criticism was against the rules? Those who had the nerve to complain anyway would be banned, right? Either everyone would, and all of you would be banned, or no one would, but you would still be at an impass.
What's the point of complaining?! We're only trying to help! Get it through your thick skulls! "Flaming" isn't a legitimate reason to cry about it, so deal with it!
Criticism isn't going to stop, so stop freaking complaining about it!
