Seriously, what happened? Back when I started playing on Byond (2007), and even a couple years after that, it was awesome. I could play all the DBZ/GT and Naruto games I wanted (there were TONS), and they were all relatively similar in design. Some even let you level fast. That was great, too. Mostly because, if you're like me, you have a full-time job, and can't get up to the max level before a wipe if that's not the case. We trained up really high on a rip of a rip of a rip, and then just hung out, had tournaments sometimes, and helped the new players out. Byond was a place to play and have good talks with people who quickly became friends.
Then the war on rips started. A lot of the games we loved to play were taken off Byond because they were "rips". Duh. They're rips. You know why they're rips? Because every time that someone has tried to create better icons/interfaces/code/etc since then, it has SUCKED DONKEY BALLS. Seriously, go and play a Naruto game on byond that doesn't have that original WOTS-rip feel to it. They all suck. They suck so much, Hoover vacuums is suing them. Obviously, I'm exaggerating, but only because Hoover knows they're not vacuum cleaners.
And now, apparently, there are only 5 or 6 (maybe more, but not many more) running Naruto games on byond, and even less DBZ/GT games (last I checked, I counted ZERO). Seriously, is this what Byond was created for? For whiny little bitches who think the 3 1/2 minutes they spent making a sprite means that they need to bitch and moan about someone stealing the icon that they THEMSELVES put into IconUltima until the game is taken off Byond, and their much, MUCH shittier game is the only on left standing? And they made better (better?[no, not better, worse, you morons]) icons anyways, so IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER.
Seriously, people running Byond, you need to understand that the people who rate/bitch about these awesome, quick-leveling, rip-type games are not the demographic that the games target. It targets people like me, who have a job, and can't sit around and play Byond all day long. The whiners are 13-year old emo kids who live with their parents and sit at home all day eating ho-ho's in their "husky" sweatpants and playing the crappy Naruto games they made that are "so awesome, lolololol", and the only way they can get people to play their amazing game is to get all the good games shut down. God forbid these kids get out and get some exercise. Maybe ACTUALLY try martial arts of some kind. FYI, Little Debbie snack cakes are not martial arts.
Please, Byond, stop giving in to this disgusting form of "lamerrorism" (see, it's like terrorism, only even lamer). Don't be pussies.
