No fair! You locked the FlameWar topic again. It's really the only good topic here, in my opinion. Lots of drama, controversy, personality, flair, excitement, etc. If you're going to append to it, please at least keep it open for the rest of us, as promised by Crush. That promise really should have ...

You know what else TMWC stole from Platyna? These very forums data ! How else do you think you have topics started by Platyna, STICKY and still here, like: https://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1177 "Readme First: Legal Notes of Published Art." https://forums.themanaworld...

What? It's only 47 pages. It's still a wee thing, it is. The "Iliad" of limericks. Some of it even rhymes. A bit. Maybe.

A Funny Story Most of you come to this project by way of various flavors of Linux. Not me. Many of you don't really know what eAthena is, you just know the name. And that is where my story begins. Okay, so once upon a time, there was this enormous huge epic Korean MMO named Ragnarok Online. It was a...

I know I am wasting my time and you are probably trolling me, and I honestly don't give a damn. You want to pretend not to understand because it is convenient for you? Okay, I cannot control that. I can tell the truth, but I cannot control if your mind is receptive to it. Such is life, and I accept...

Be happy you don't really own the data, like you think you do. If you did, then the government could TAX you on it, just the same as they would tax you for making chairs. Ownership comes with both liability for damages and taxation consequences, and government would like nothing better than for you ...

So I disagree with the two statements above: Platyna = the "the manaworld project" The host of the data = the rightful owner of the data I had hoped my "painted wall" example would help, but instead you have somehow fixated on these two points, neither of which are true. This le...

Grow up already and start acting like adults. Are you calling us names again? didn't our whole conversation started because of names calling? At least I didn't call you steaming piles, like Wushin did, but it seems you are okay with that, you say nothing in the forums about it, right? Oh but right,...

The server list shouldn't be controlled by the client. It should be part of the update server under project control. P.S. The update server should serve the IPs of all available servers, not just the ones you like. It should be an additive (not destructive) update, so server IPs that the user enters...

Things were better here for many months after o11c left. Everyone was careful to keep within their bounds and respect their limits. And I had only good things to say about it, too. But lately, things have taken a darker turn, with staff again acting outside their comfort zones. And similar reasons ...

Not the host Exactly! Not Madcamel or OVH. But if the SOLE AUTHORITY also happens to be hosting, that is fine, at it was in Platyna's case. Being host doesn't preclude you from having SOLE AUTHORITY, it just doesn't define it. Being the dictator / queen / "cutter of hands" / final arbiter...

Grow up already and start acting like adults. Are you calling us names again? didn't our whole conversation started because of names calling? Why don't you direct Platyna's attitude? I won't stop 4144 if he wants to do it. And that is exactly why the project needs a single responsible leader. So th...

IIRC "you" is not TMWC but 4144 because Platyna managed to make him angry or am I confusing things here? You know the server was listed back in mid-late 2013. till that happened ^^ It's still not a good reason, especially since 4144's client is the official TMW client now. Grow up already...

That would be fair and good. I second this.

Consumer as owner of data applies only to single-player games and work applications, where the computer running the app is the same computer that the sole user is physically interfacing. If you do your homework or write a letter on a word processor, draw a picture in a paint program, make a chart in...
