Well you all may as well know I was banned from that fool place. Funny thing is, I'm still not exactly sure why and was never told other than getting some generic message when I tried to log in about being banned for posting "inflammatory messages or spamming".
Now I know I have posted my share of flames, but funny thing is I really was trying to hold back and be civil even to jerks recently. The thread in question I threw a couple of slightly short or snippy comments out there but hardly what I'd call a flame.
As it turns out I was trying to have a bit of a discussion/debate and some kid chimed in and tried to annoy me really obvious like 'bla bla I'm trying to annoy you!' and even admited as such as he was bored. I just replied that he would have to come up with something more well thought out and intelligent than that to push my buttons and get my goat (that's the type of snippy comment I was talking about, I hardly call that a flame ).
Another poster kept replying back to him with smartass one liners trying to get the last word on him. Since I knew this person a little bit I pmed this person and said just ignore him and he'll go away and find someone else to bug. Well this person sees fit to call me out on the public forum and say "Motoki why are you pming me?" I didn't want to reply publicy which is why I pmed said person, but after that I just replied that this kid was trying to annoy us and we should just ignore him. Said person then said I should not reprimand him/her that he/she does not like it. I then said fine, play tag last word you're it all night then, I'm going to bed, which I did. (again snide or snippy perhaps but hardly what I would consider a flame unless they banned me for spamming because I told others not to spam )
I woke up to find I was banned. This was Saturday night this went down and then Sunday morning when I found this out. Note that I was never given an explanation and Tegger got rid of a whole bunch of replies in that thread, included some very good IMO intelligent discussion between myself and several others, and replaced it with some short post with same lame excuse about sorry about getting rid of the good replies too, that's how the software works.
I was really mad and angry about the whole thing yesterday. I know they had given me warnings before (some of which were questionable IMO) but at least I knew what the hell they were for and what I did. I must say this time I am stumped. It could be the exchange with those two I posted above, but I thought I showed restraint. Also she cut out the replies long before that exchange with my very first post in that thread which was a discussion and I swear I can see absolutely nothing inflammatory about it. Actually, she moved all replies after my initial one to the Mod forum where I am sure she put some kind of spin on it and she and several others there have been looking for any excuse to get rid of me quite frankly anyhow.
I am, naturally, somewhat Morrowinded and very damned near reformatted my whole computer without backing up a damned thing yesterday. Yet again I feel guilty because I owe someone something though. This time it was those clothing textures that Lizardo/Mooner did which really are quite awesome. So I tried to take my mind off things (which is why I wasn't here yesterday) went out for a bit, rented a couple of DVDs (one of which didn't work ) and then tried to physique the elf ass for the underwear meshes for Lizardo's clothing mod.
I also checked out some other games. I'd really like to find some other games to create mods for as a change of pace. I hear Gothic II has a modding/developer kit now...but it's in German.
I saw that EA released a sort of Sneak Peek at The Sims 2 by releasing The Sims 2 Body shop where you can create a Sim in high res 3D (none of that tiny itsy bitsy stuff heh)
thesims2.ea.com/
Heh I came up with this, sort of an almost Anime version of me.
With the Body Shop right now you can't edit or make new meshes yet, but you can retexture (The textures are bmps). Apparently when the Sims 2 is due out later this year (Septmeber) you will be able to make meshes with Maya. Can't these game companies use a 3D program that's freeware or shareware? Sheesh. Heh.
Anyhow, I don't know how much help I will be with MW, my motivation to do stuff for it is pretty low right now, and no offense meant to any of the rest of you guys, you're all good friends, but none of you organize things and get me motivated and feeling like this mod really IS going to come out like Oldie did.
I really wonder if I shouldn't just give up MW, banned from Canadian Ice's place, Banned Twice from the ES Forum, kicked out of the Better Clothes forum and just generally snickered at and had snide and smartass comments thrown my way via Neuman. Heh Maybe it's time I move onto something else or at least stop modding, but I think I am too antsy and have been by the creative mod to not create something for some game.
Okay well that's my rambling for the day.
