That is called discrimination. More seriously:It is not because one site translates everything that every site should, otherwise, none would translate anything because there is one English website (Omnimaga) so every website would have to be in English.The content on the forums on Histwar Les Grognards are not translated, they are only available in English. Only the buttons and the sentences such as "Welcome, Guest. Please login or register." are available in different languages. On the contrary on TI Planet, the content (which is why you need most, because even Google translate is enough to understand the few words on a button and browse a website) is translated, for most interesting news and tutorials.TI Planet is not a website about a paid game. The people who made Histwar Les Grognards's website were paid to do it, so they did it, and they are going to earn even more money now that everyone can browse their website, while people who made TI Planet translated their content for free.

Your post sounds more like harassment
you've come across like a jerk.
Who asked for YOUR particular opinion? Not me.
Thanks but I don't need your "insights"

There are people who can speak two languages, and they are called bilingual. There are people who speak three languages and are therefore trilingual. Then there are people who speak one language, and these people are called Americans.
I believe there is a language barrier issue going on here.Keep in mind that while Omnimaga is primarily an English speaking forum, we have many members whose first language was not English. It is possible that most people here aren't native English speakers.It is very easy to cause confusion when not talking about programming and it is easy to insult people unintentionally. Stefos' post that kind of started it all was a post of frustration and I think it wasn't intended to insult anybody. However, it was insulting.I think that due to the expectations Stefos' had, they have grown up in a culture where only one language is spoken, or if any other languages are present, it is always translated from English not to English. This could cause the naive expectation that non-English languages have a natural translation to English that can be easily completed by a computer, or anything other than oneself.Something that is normally funny, but may be insulting here, is the following quote:Quote from: Hot_Dog's SignatureThere are people who can speak two languages, and they are called bilingual.

Yeah someone called us a dictatorship a few times last month on IRC and in the past, some group from another calc IRC channel (that no longer exists as one) basically declared war against Omni for it >.<As for the Worms thing, I think it was more because of how many time you said your stuff than the fact you said it, since we generally encourage people to work on original calc material and projects within their programming skills, while not insisting. But again this was almost during the nDoom policy days so I was more downvote (and tempban)-happy at that time. Basically, the point is that if Omni tried to put people down like stefos tries to make it sound like, I don't think the people who prefer Omni for being friendlier would have stayed either. So in other words, it's not that bad, and incidents can happen everywhere (especially with that many members including ones who are used to their own site rules)Maybe we should go back on the topic about how evil TI can be, though, with their anti-downgrades. (But again, there are like three or four downgrade help threads now)
Yes, I view some of my posts as being attacked by others.
