I replied with some conversation quotes on General Forums. (link in 1st post of current thread).
.. Morpheus from WGL refused to change the name.

I can't believe this is happening, you know?

  • Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
Here is what I would do FS, make the next release of OP+ 5.0 skip 4.0 all together. <snicker>

Guy is a wanker and a dolt, as if the fact that the shiplist is a txt file makes a difference as to whether he stole the name of your project. It wasn't bad enough that he took the name OP+ he had to version it within your naming structure. D*cksmoker plain and simple.

Hey guys.

Can't we handle this a little more diplomatic so we don't appear as bad peoples?

I really think this can be handled with a cool, intellectual head.  That would make them more acceptive of the change.

Yes, they are wrong, but that gives us no right to create a rift.  

Got me?

Show me how a mature male can handle it.

Hmm..board's not always up so here is a quote

It would be appreciated if you would consider changing the name of your mod to something more suitable and something that eventually you can take pride in developing.
 
The OPPLUS mod that firesoul has been working on for the past 2 years (and yes he continues to work on it daily), has been developed with a certain vision in mind.  To make the shiplist more to ADB's SFB standards.
 
It has even been featured in Captain's Log #29, which incidentally proves firesoul's claim to the name of the mod, a great boost to the Dynaverse. 
 
Now, if you wish to take over the name, not only will you suffer the flames of the community that you are puportedly trying to assist, but you are also cheating yourself out of being able to take pride in something that you have created.
 
This project is yours and should bear your own unique mark, your own name, so that you may get your own recognition.
 
Firesoul is proud to know that someone appreciates his work well enough to use it as a base for their projects.  And he even encourages it, for it does support and expand the community in many ways.
 
Again, I ask that you choose a more suitable name for your mod.  I know my home life would be easier.   
 
Firesoul's son would also appreciate it.  Makes my job of keeping them both happy easier if you do.
 
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

Funny.

Hijacker goes claiming OP Plus 3.3 is over a year old. 3.3 was released just before GW2 in May 2004!
Ask J'inn, he was getting a heart attack from redoing 3.2->3.3 shiplist work till FS automated the process for him!

Cool!!!

<hands Samantha a rolling pin>

This is just in case you get out of control.

Not about the shower thingy, but the Morpheous thingy.  <snicker>

Stay calm and have faith, Firesoul.  It'll get worked out.

Now, go do whatever it was you're suppose to be doing.  ;)

FS, dude, just release version 4.1. And play it low key. Dont want to act like you are purposely trying to one-up him. And certainly dont want to stoop to his level. I think its low what he is doing.

I'd be mad as hell if someone else besides me hosted a server called Slave Girls IV and drew off previous server ideas and work I did... basically ripping me off.

I'll make a post on that link... Cap'n smack to the rescue... :D
