"Thread existiche nicht"

You think they chickened out?

Tab:  The "go home" remark was a blatant dig at Americans for the Iraq war in response to the Nazi comments.  I guess they're assuming all the Gen team is American, and since you're Dutch and your skinwork is part of what's being swiped I was just thinking, go home from where?  The Dutch aren't in Iraq last I checked.  

Gotcha Pho.

We'll I'm partly to blame for posting this (when I was angry) in the public Generations forum. Although I would like to keep our fans posted of this kind of thing, it is (in general) probably wiser to contact and discuss the matter with the offender(s), before doing so.
Apparantly, I also wasn't clear enough when I stated what I did not want to happen, in my first post. This will also not happen again.

For those who flamed: I groveled and apologized on your behalf, to someone who normally should have been apologizing to us. Just take a second to think about that, will you?

In the meantime, I have received an email from the DH webmaster. It clears a few things up, and it seems to be one of those cases where a freelancer (hopping mods) could not be trusted, and who's submissions weren't or couldn't be checked for being rips. Until further notice, the screens (links) have been taken down, as you've noticed.

A heads up for the team members reading this: the email correspondance is posted in the internal team forum.

Oh man guys...

/me slaps forehead

Why does this happen every time? Right at the very beginning of this thread it said NOT to do it but like little children yall do it anyway... Yall need to leave these things to the WHS Team. They know how to solve these things quickly and with little bad blood. The comment on the nazi's... childish. Flame me if you want but I'm part (If not mostly) German. I lived in Germany for 4 years in the 80's. Speak a little German also. Does that make me a Nazi? Hmm, I think you should think before you speak. You know who you are... Sorry WHS Team but had to get that rant out of my system. I think this whole situation has gotten everyones nerves twisted and could have gone alot smoother if other members would read and comply with the ENTIRE post before going off half cocked! Very disappointed.

-EDIT-
Yes the PM idea would be best IMO.

Yes I agree. I kept out of it, and tried to keep my mouth shut in the topic but things just got so out of hand and just plain offensive. Well that's all  from me.

There must be someway of inserting text into the code so wirehead can Prove that the stuff is theirs.

Shamb: at this time we don't have to prove anything (although if we had any need for it, Pho's right on the money), since the leader/contact fellow of the DH team has already informed us that a freelance 'modeler' used ripped artwork without informing them. His name was 'Sheppard' or something like that, so if you know someone that uses that handle and could be the perpetrator, check it out. The point is, they've acknowledged our claim and need no further evidence.

For other situations, we can for both models and skins rely on 'ruling out coincidence', by comparing things vertex-by-vertex, pixel-by-pixel, etc. if a complex (section of an) image is exactly identical to some other work, you have a convincing argument for them being the same. After that, the work-in-progress files are perfect evidence for it being yours (especially if you have the skill to prove that you can make comparative works again).

me too, but i didn't

you just have to show restaint in such matters

the nazi's were only one faction of the german society  

which thankfully is no longer in power

just because some people happen to be german, does not make them nazi's  

in fact quite a lot of my friends are german, some are jewish and they get along fine  ~

which goes to show racial hatred, can and should if possible be irradicated  

as nobody wins

and as for flamming

jezz, what's the point

can't we all just get along, and blow each other into gibs  

I mean just look at all the nationalities that are here, does that alone show that the past is long forgotten  ~

I mean we are all mates here.    

right ?
