Well ok I don't make many posts for public blogs much less anything else. However I thought id bring forth my comments on a few matters. Well for starters many of you know me as the host of PRPR well a few days ago I doing my hub scouting ran into a game with a better rank then us.
So I moved to check it out. To my shock it was no only a rip but the person had been using a src that a friend of mine released to the public just because he cant work on it anymore. Now sure im totally cool with everyone trying for there own games. Even if it is a rip... However I think bribery is rather low... You know its times like this make you wonder hey why doesnt byond step in?
Sure everyone has the right to use byond how they want so long as its within the TOS that well byond doesnt really even have at the moment. However if you tried to use bribery on a cop or to get a job. You not only get your ass back handed to you but you also might face jail time if its a cop. So my question is why doesnt byond step in?
I mean sure I think its fine to give byond members something for paying for byond but I think a rule should really put in place to stop people from telling users they must add them to the top three of there fav list in order to get something? LAST I LOOKED! Byond setup byond membership so that people that pay can get something extra if the owners see it fit not bribe members for rank... Like heres a good example goditz's game if you remove the game from your rank he will delete your save.
If you ask me it seems like the members are paying money to be forced to do things because power hungry assholes want rank... I mean sure this byond system is still in the starting stages however the biggest mistake byond has made was taking the voice from the mass and only giving it to people that pay for that voice.
Then again what can you really do you know? I just hope that the byond staff can manage to work out a system that more or less runs better. You know a system that is something like the newgrounds system wouldnt be bad. Its based to keep a balance an make the voice of everyone heard but the ones that speak out louder are the ones that have been around longer an more active.
I mean sure I dont mind paying for byond but some of the games in the top ranks wouldnt be there if the public had a voice. As is the games that make it to the top are rarely good or even orignal however some are ill give some of the games that but alot of them are there just because the owner has money... I dont think thats really fair but really who am i to fight over it im one person in the millions of people on the internet this is mostly why my voice will just go silent just like the others before me that gave up.
So what does everyone think about this I mean really leave a comment tell me what you think... Does anyone find it really fair in the end?
On another topic PRPR is going to be giving out a free byond membership as an event but we dont really have a set date or event planned yet. However you know just letting everyone know so as many people as possible can get a chance at it. As a note this event is being sponsered an paid for by the people over at Bloody Rose Inc you can find more info at the Bloody Rose Website here. http://bloodyroseinc.web-freebies.com/
It should be a fun trip they people from Bloody Rose seem rather fun an what not so im sure we will see many years of collaboration. Also on the side note ill more then likely be hosting my own byond membership event.
I have been thinking about holding one for a good amount of time but a few things always stopped me because you know people join games play for a few months then leave it be some what annoying to pay for someone that joined for the membership then left after they got it doesnt seem fair to all the people that stick around you know. Anyway we will see how it rolls down hill.
Shifting gears again. I been working on a file information project that im hoping will be some help to the mass population of do it urselfers that are out to find out how to fix their computers. Though its starting off slow im hoping I can manage to add a good amount of files to the list of info soon to start it off.
ONCE MORE! Changing the topic. Yes I know I have alot to talk about but this should be the last one. It seems more an more now a days I see rips popping up like weeds. Games that are ripped from released src codes, stolen src codes hell now we even have staff members taking the code of a game and because they think they can do better claiming it as there own. Now im not going to point fingers but they know who they are an im rather mad about it. Some of this stuff even starts because some idiot jumps the gun based on what they think or heard an find it pointless to even try talking it over. This alone is just stupid as hell. I have friends iv known for ages turning on one another because they are to stuck up in there power hungry world to talk about it.
I can say that I dont plan on helping anymore games in coding of any kind from this point on unless its under a legal contract. Mostly because just how people abuse the kindness of people. Like im sure heres an example say you spent a good day fixing an recoding a game to help someone then one of the staff turns around removes your gm an all the owners gm an changes the name an a few other things an claims it for there own.
Then on top of that giving ZERO (0) CREDIT TO WHERE ITS DUE! Honestly thats just enough to piss you off an to make matters worse its not even why you are really pissed. Yes im talking about myself but im not going to point fingers people know who they are so no point in going past that. Whats done is done but as a note for everyone. Dont burn a bridge then try an go back over it. Meaning think before you do something because it could be the wrong thing to do.
Back on the topic of rips I think byond should really force out most of the rips honestly if you didnt code it then you shouldnt be able to publish it without DIRECT PERMISSION from the person that did code it. Then again there is alot about byond that could be changed but nothing is ever going to be done so im done ranting have fun bashing me or adding comments etc w/e...

You have way too much time on your hands... that post is 1200 words long. :|

Well you said it, and I said it, and who knows? Maybe some more people will say it soon. BYOND is going to turn into a hub for posers and code stealers if this keeps up.. moreso than it is already

Why freewebs.. Ill let them know about it. They said they will be buying a domain name soon enough so I doubt they will be using freewebs to much longer. Its more or less a temp slot holder.

I totally agree to that whole post. But it's kind of funny...There are so many rips of WotS that they've been spilling over into the Pokemon side of BYOND.

Pokemon rips that were made from the WOTS source made me laugh... for while. Then it just started to get annoying. I'm guessing it's just that the players that idolize Naruto are too lazy to make a quality game themselves. This goes the same for Pokemon rips. |

What was really funny is when they had zeta/wots/pokemon rips all in one. Omg that was just to funny. To be honest I think byond should shut down anything that is a rip sure that would shut down like 90 percent of all games! Buh hey a rip shouldnt be on the hub its someone elses work if you want to have your own game learn how to code. o.O |
It's soooo true.. Too bad it's getting more and more out of hand each passing day. Sucks for the ones who actually work hard for it..
