PLEASE can everyone stop panicking about getting the Opts sent to each other!<P>As it clearly says here Darksaber's opts will be made available in some way ASAP.<BR>So be patient and live with the TG ones for a while.<BR>Otherwise swap your opts in the LucasArts Forum and not here.

I just can't keep up with events these days! Image<BR>Quote from the Pilot's Lounge.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Darksaber:<BR><B>I didn't quit to get the attention for your information. I quit because of the assumtion by people that I had something to do with XWL closing<P>If you wish to see what my reply to there comments wher her it is: -<P><BR>I can see your all missing me already. Image<P>Dredd, those words are the nicest things you have said about me in a long time, and I'm NOT being sarcastic.<P>I've been thinking all day about my discion about closing my site, and basically, being bullied into submission from people I have never met, nor likely to do so, this not going to push me away, the site is coming back online, I'm not going to leave!<P>Why should I care about what you lot think about me, Darksaber is just a nickname in cyberspace, the name and what I write is just binary, little 1's and 0's, there is no one on here who actually knows the true me, which I would prefer, lets just leave it at that, take it or leave it, I'm not being pushed out of something I like doing.<P>I put my site together so people do not have to go all over the web to find things as they are all in one place, no other site in this community has done that, even here at XWL, you have the space, but don't take advantage of utilizing it, you mess about with silly scripts, to see how many people have download the stuff that they can get here, which is pointless. If it wasn't for my site, most if not all the editing tools would be lost, some of the old shipsets for XvT/Bop have already been lost, and there is nothing I can do about that, as I do not have the space to host them.<P>Why no one has done the same is beyond me, all you would have to do is email the person who made those utilities and ask them if they don't mind you hosting them.<P>We all know that some of us have never seen eye to eye from day one, Dredd you where the first. The reason, when I first started editing opts, I tried to help you figure out something, I think is was something to do with a ten gun Tie Interceptor or something (not sure). I made the changes and sent you my results; you ignored it, which frankly pissed me off.<P>So for revenge, (or for a better word) I started ridiculing your work, which got out of hand and started an unresolved flame war ever since.<P>Pathetic wasn't it really!<P>You used to churn out a new opt maybe two each week, which in my eyes where the best thing since slice bread, in the early days of XvT/BoP editing. Don’t think I’m trying to creep around you to get on your good side, I not!<P>But since that day, when you never replied or said you where not interested in my help on the certain thing or even a "thanks, but you could handle it", we have been at each others throats, mocking, taking the piss and basically acting very childish towards each other.<P>Saxman, in a way we are very much alike, ignorant and egotistical, yes you might be a little quieter than myself, but we are from the same mould. And I don't think I'm any sort of God for opting or never proclaimed that I’m, where you get that from is beyond me.<BR>I have to say that you do make a better model, but you never do anything with them, you have a definite talent, but you don't take advantage of it, you think all you can do is to model, which is wrong!<P>You have the talent and artistic skill to make the models, but why can't you finish them, I have seen some of you recent textures, which I told you at the time that they where really good, but the community never see them, all I'm doing is trying to get you to see your talent, I have told you before, if you wanted any help let me know, or ask Decoy for advice, but you have just ignored that help, thinking you can't do it. You can if you try!<P>Eliminator, ever since I hit out at the faults with your XvT A.S.S project and blamed it on a fictional brother for writing it, we have also never seen eye to eye either, which you have never forgotten right!<P>Sorry but that’s in the past it cannot change, I have apologised to you since that that happened, but obviously that was not sufficient.<P>Erai, basically I haven't a clue what I have done to you or why you dislike me so much, that's up to you, I honestly couldn't give a toss, it's your problem not mine! It's probably because your big mates with Dredd, and his hatred for me have rubbed off on you.<P>You blame me for the lack of interest at XWL and for getting quite a few of the forums that where not in use closed, but put it this way I didn't push the button to delete them, that choice was entirely up to Nob, and Nob alone, I just pointed out the fact that he could condense some of the forums into one, making it look like there was more interest than there actually was. Yes he did try to create forums for other games, but those games have there own following and game sites.<P>XWL is mainly known for the X-wing Games series, interest in other games was pointless as like I have said they have there own following and sites, and I doubt that people would move from established sites to another site, just because you have a forum for that game.<P>Anyhow, enough said you haven’t got rid of me yet, if you can't live with that, it’s tough! I’m not being driven out by a bunch of youths!</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>He's not getting his forum back without a fight!
