/\/\/\/\/\/\the comments weren't rude, out of line or mean in any shape or form.
people pointed out we're not a zodiac board, that there is a very active one on another site and that he should try that.
people are saying as he is a dev we should have given him more time. this doesn't make sense, hardly anyone knew the answer to his question, the rest of us acting as helpfully as we could sent him to zodiacgamer, without flaming, belittling or being rude.
i personally think its pathetic to leave a community over something so stupid (which hes blown out of total proportion by himself) and so very very insignificant, he obviously couldn't depart quietly, thundering around stating we won't see any of his other projects.
does it all just boil down to bruised ego?
I concur.Well... here we are.
One less coder. For whatever reasons he's done it, it's a shame. I do think that it is very unfortunate you are not going to release what you've done Alessandro. I for one have used your IDE, and found it to be one of the things that got me into GP32 coding in the first place. It seems such a waste to allow what happened to spoil it for everyone. There are a minority of people out there who will flame, provoke, whatever - especially in a forum of this size.
Unfortunately, you've allowed the minority of people to spoil it for the rest of us if you dont release your final versions or your source. Basically - they've won.
And thats never good.
Also, I feel that your post tarred us all with the same brush, and has made a comment on the whole community that really is unjustified. I am one of the many that have alweays appreciated your work, But I feel offended for everyone else by the tone of your post.
I hope you find it in yourself to help those who have supported you. If not, then that's up to you, but if you do, then I feel a lot of people would regard you with more respect for what you've decided.
Thanks for the work you've done, and good luck for the future, but please dont burn those bridges...
I did read the thread and you have a valid point, I just feel you've over-stated it.but if it annoys you to see someone going against the grain and thinking for themselves, i will happily leave this issue be.
So just because he's a coder he gets special treatment? I'm sorry but this is exactly what the gp32 communities turning into: ass licking galore. He posted in General talk about the GP32 right? same as other people? In the wrong forum and no I didn't see any flames in that threads. Other people got flamed for posting about the zodiac in the general talk forum. They didn't get as angry. He didn't follow the rules either. If you can't handle tame comments like that how the hell do you get through life??? Now flame me all, I can take it.Yeah, pretty much. We pissed off someone and he left the scene. Difference is the guy was a coder and is now witholding his projects out of spite. It wasn't a flame but there were a lot of redundant comments and eyerolling. He took it personally. I don't blame him.
Alessandro, I haven't tried your projects so much but I think you should really think about releasing what you have. Intellecto, despite his hard work, was hated because the project was never open-sourced and could never be continued. Yoyo had to redo it from scratch. By witholding this stuff you are just creating extra work for some poor guy who probably has no beef with you.
The majority of the community, in fact, has no problem with you and is glad for your contributions. It's a pity you ran into some of the more vocal ones, but it's totally understandable that this turned you off the scene. The actions of some of the members in this forum turn me off as well.
