You may have read my post, but apparently you didnt "read" my post.
Firstly, I was trying to clear up an often assumed issue that Mapmaking Group members shun all others & think of themselves as some form of Elite Society. Wrong... at least where Creation, Vista & Hexo are concerned.
Next, did I anywhere in my post state that mapmakers should strive to join Creation & ignore Your group or all others???? [ NO ]
Did I in any way say that your group should not be recruiting members or trying to improve yourselves????? [ NO ]
Did I anywhere say that Creation was actively looking for new members???? [ NO ] Though I did say that we rarely turn down any talented individuals that are excited about mapmaking.
Did I anywhere say anything sounding competitive about mapmaking? [ NO ] I was being informative & explaining some of the workings of the current mapping community.
You talked about showing respect??? Did I not just see you at our FREE Hotline server asking questions & downloading resources that we are offering to the mapmaking community? Did I not speak to you nicely & try to answer any questions you had? You're there taking advantage of what we have been nice enough to make available to the mapping community. Something that no other group or "Cartel" as you put it has been willing to establish, then you post this Forum post Slamming "ME" for not Showing Respect?
We have established a place where ALL mapmakers can come together & chat, learn, exchange, & contribute at will. This has been done not to recruit members or to Slam other groups, but to hopefully make it easier for Groups like yours to more easily find people who are also looking to expand their capabilities. Obviously you have fallen into the mold of being paranoid about your abilities as opposed to seeing this as Creation giving you a resource to better expand your group.
By the way - It was YOUR POST that initially gave me the idea to open C2HL up to the Guest access. I immediately started changing the server over appropriately & bye that evening C2HL was open for Guest access & being stocked with the resources we felt the mapping community might be grateful for.
Many have been thus far.... here are some stats since the Server went live last week as of this morning.
Total Visitors: 1024
Top Visitors at one time: 19
Total Downloads: 2234
Total Uploads: 276
Total number of New
Creation members added: " 0 "
Also if you will check in this same Forum 3 posts above your Thread you will see an announcement about C2HL going live which was another thing your post was critical of me for not doing.
At this point your comments have made you look completely Hipocritical & unable to appreciate when people are making an effort to help you... which is what your post was asking for... HELP.
