Please take fights off of the forums
« on: March 20, 2011, 03:00:45 pm »
Without getting into details, we had a fight on our website.  I don't care who is to blame for this conflict, but in events following we lost an extremely valuable member.

Please, people: If you see a post that you don't like or if someone is trolling, don't try to handle the matter yourself by posting a counterattack on the forums.  Take the problem to the adminstrators.  We are administrators for a reason: because we know how to handle these things and keep everything under control.


And a note to administrators: I feel that we are making instant judgements against some of our more valuable members.  There's a difference between an obvious troll and someone who is having a bad day or simply makes a mistake.  EVERYONE makes mistakes.

Hot Dog, I personally like to know what happened and made you post this, but maybe you don't want to say, it's your choice.

D: That's awful...
I don't really know what to say, because there's not much and Hot_Dog's said enough.
Just a small bit to add, if any admins aren't around, staff and other moderators, such as myself, can also handle the situation (Though, to prevent quick judgments by us, probably a couple mods should agree  or consult an admin before they do anything.)
I hope the lost member, whoever he is, will come back :/

I am never posting again on Omnimaga forums until people treat Ashbad fairly. I talk to him often and we seems pretty alike. I can't imagine how I would be treated if I never had any link with Omni founding and Illusiat/ROL/etc...

Goodbye until then.

I know what it was now! It's in the What is your Avatar thread. I didn't read it, I will right away, but I think Ashbad promised temporarily leaving Omnimaga.

Too bad DJ is planning to do it too :(

Oh, that :/ I didn't read it thoroughly, but I'd never have thought that it could get so bad...
Let's not ever let this happen again, please :(
DJ, that's completely understandable :/ Does anyone support a community boycott, or is that going too far? (Probably too far)

That's not what it was, but there's a reason I'm not disclosing any information, mostly because I don't want people pointing fingers.  Scout, if you have another guess, PLEASE don't post it.

I posted something there, and I also Pm'ed Ashbad. But I'm not the one bothering Ashbad by downrating his post. I did downrate one of his post in What Is your Avatar but I uprated back after I saw he edited it.(See my post in What is your Avatar).
But as Ashbad also replied in his PM, he isn't angry with me. Someone else downrated his post, and didn't uprate it back. Maybe that person hasn't been online since he edited those post, or he's just a troll, or maybe even ignorant.

I'm sorry to hear that we lost a valuable member, and I hope that whoever it is decides to come back eventually.


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Sure Hot Dog, I won't do that again (at least not post it anywhere on Omnimaga).

And if there was a member who left, I hope he comes back (if he's valuable, not if he is 100% troll)

I'm saddened that the event has spiraled out of control like this, but I hope it can be resolved in a manner acceptable to all parties.

Oh god what the hell happens here. I am disappointed.

I have an alpha version of Axeanoid ready to release since earlier this week, I don't think I'll release anything before the dust from all the drama happening on Omnimaga settles...

Solidarity with DJ and Ashbad.

D@mn it, Can you please eliminate the respect on my post? I'd rather not fan these flames further.

EDIT: Thank you.

I disagree, we shouldn't let dramas affect our work, we should be worried with them and try to solve them, but I don't think we should slow things down in Omnimaga due to what happened.

Agreed.  It's our positives that override the negatives.
