From day one, we havent been "out" to harm the Alley, nor steal anything or anyone for that matter. Even when it came to SpeedAlley and certain members here being banned from there upon launching of this site, we still gave the invite to them... No takers... I wonder why?
WE DONT PLAY THE SAME CHILDISH GAMES NOR DO WE EMPLOY THOSE POLITICS HERE.... Thats been clear from day one, and is the soul purpose of why VF.net exists.
Apparently now if there is a link to www.viperforums.net (http://www.viperforums.net) posted on the Alley, it is coded to rewrite it and redirect it. Again, some really childish behavior.
Link to the Alley all you want here. Post at the Alley all you want. Post at BasketWeaving.com all you want. We dont care! This is the fucking internet. VF.net was not started to create a cult, but rather to offer a place where people could go without any shady shit or corporate shit going on behind the scenes. So far it has worked and people have taken notice and others have become angry. There is not even the slightest suggestion of loyalty requirements in being a member here unlike some other places...
Enough is enough. Everyone knows our stance. Everyone knows our members and moderators alike post both places. Good... WE ENCOURAGE THAT!
As for the Alley's banned folks that have been reinstated here; Yeah... We wanted them back in the community. The politics that got them banned and their stories being hidden dont fly here. So yeah: All the better for them that they have a place to be now. Those folks, by the way, represent less than 1% of the members here. This site is not supposed to be some "Banned Refuge" as the Alley likes to refer to it as...
Finally:
MP,
What the fuck does this mean?
I've never blocked anyone from posting any link to a website that I recall; I have no reason (financial or otherwise) to block someone except when I see some lazy fucker just taking shit they didn't write and using it for their own I think why not tweak em.
If you think you've got the winning formula for a website, best of luck to you. It's not rocket science, anyone can throw up vBulletin and a skin and have a go at it (well, those pesky hackers can be a PITA can't they?) - the "fun" always gets ruined when you end up spending more time mediating disputes between members.Am I supposed to take this as a threat? Whats with the "hacking" reference? What has anyone stolen from anyone? :shrug: If you are referring to the code you wrote for the live-feed system, in which you made a publicly available download for any vBulletin board, then we will remove it.
I even emailed you through ViperAlley.com's Contact Us form and thanked you for coding it, and let you know that we were using it over here but not out of spite. If thats what you are referring to as "stolen," then it is now removed from our site. Thousands of other boards use it now, but apparently we arent supposed to... We understand ViperAlley :yep: Loud and clear! :rolleyes:
