Has anyone seen that piece of shit files.quake4world.com?

Post by **Lenard** » Mon May 01, 2006 7:59 am

Yeah, Foo fucked that shit up pretty bad. KMG and I are no longer part of the project due to a number of his executive decisions.

You mean the ads (escaped turkey theme)? The formatting is crappy (Times New Roman) too, but extremely readable.

Thanks for telling me first, or even discussing it with me

*drama*

Lenard,

This thread is extremely immature and just downright unacceptable.

Foo's work is excellent and there is no problem with it.

To be honest, I'm not sure how to respond to such a completely lame post. Now it's going to be very difficult to trust you with this project, especially since you resort to temper tantrums instead of just contacting Foo with your concerns in a professional manner.

Post by **Lenard** » Mon May 01, 2006 7:16 pm

I had already decided I wanted nothing to do with the project when foo started editing kmg's code in aparently large quantities without telling him. He even went so far as to completely beak the site. To be honest, I don't care if you trust me because I am out.

Bye, bye.

My biggest concern is the creation of this thread. Anyone who is willing to publically come out and bash someone about a community project causes me to be highly concerned. Can someone lock this thread please?

Post by **kleeks** » Mon May 01, 2006 9:22 pm

Well lets not detract from what a great tool this continues to be for the community on a whole

Theres clanservers everywhere without the means to host the required files - files.q4world.com has been a resounding success from conception to this day imo

glitches aside (you have to break some eggs to make an omelette) everyone deserves a pat on the back

If people have to leave the project due to personal issues within, thats a shame - but tbf it should be with your heads held high because of whats been achieved, and not in the midst of a flame war :lub:

Let me explain. Foo came to us saying that he would like to make a few cosmetic changes. Things like colors, removing redundant login boxes, making things more visible, etc. He started work on it, then said that he needed to edit the php because some of these changes were coded into it by kmg. This was acceptable. KMG and foo began working together doing it, making compromises, taking suggestions from eachother and so on. The next day, we check out the site and the entire format is changed, the logo has a turkey in it, many of the features that took a lot of work to implement were broken or completely gone from the site (ie: file sorting of any kind, file comments, file ratings, even uploading files and registering new accounts!) and we were quite upset. These are the kinds of changes that you discuss as a group. These are the kinds of changes that you do not make to a live site getting hundreds of downloads a day without consulting the original coder. It is a large and complicated project, and in making any changes it would be virtually impossible for foo not to break it. This has nothing to do with his ability, more his knowledge of how this specific site works. Aparently downloads even halted entirely for a time. This is the worst thing that can happen to the site as a brad new file repo trying to make a name for it's self. We didn't really want to say anything because foo was letting us use his domain which was very nice of him, but we knew we couldn't work with someone that makes executive decisions in that manner and so we are out. That is all there is to it and as being someone who has nothing to do with that website I think it looks like shit covered in bumper stickers.

Oh, and escaped turkey has been wonderful. I didn't care about the banners, but we should have absolutely been consulted on those kinds of changes and definitely would have gone about a different and more constructive way.

I wonder how long it will be until that rocket arena release gets uploaded.

Post by **iluvquake4** » Mon May 01, 2006 10:35 pm

I was never contacted when changes were considered 'bad', instead I find this thread that flames the site and Foo.

No matter what has taken place, the bashing of the project and/or anyone involved via a forum thread is completely unacceptable.

This project is costing me $600 a month. So please set aside all the drama, kiss and make-up, and let's get this thing working again.

He showed me while he was doing it, and I'm not even involved. Maybe you just weren't around at the time.

Post by **Lenard** » Mon May 01, 2006 10:54 pm

Mneh. Have fun with your site.

Post by **iluvquake4** » Mon May 01, 2006 10:56 pm

I picture a person with a big lower lip, folded arms, sitting in the corner, staring at a wall, meditating on "I hate those guys, I hate those guys, I hate those guys..." Holding back the tears.

everything kleeks said, and - if it's that big a deal, can't your man kmg just re-upload his version of the site?

if you're going to make a thread to slag foo off, then slag him off for having a stick up his ass all the time, or never having seen a woman naked. this sort of thing is the responsibility of whoever manages the project, not their over-zealous web designer (who's doing a pretty good job by the looks of it, even if he is working on the live site) - so take it up with them.

btw,

Post by **losCHUNK** » Tue May 02, 2006 12:24 am

i can assure foo has seen a women naked..... he walked in on my mum n dad whilst they were.....

he joined in and.....

thats pretty much all i remember

Post by **Lenard** » Tue May 02, 2006 12:34 am

Foo was never the web designer. HaH.

Post by **Nightshade** » Tue May 02, 2006 1:09 am

Foo's raisin' the fuck out of the bar.
