Wrench 9,461 Posted August 1, 2015 since we, the CA Staff, know that you're here reading the boards and such, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to see this. When you ban someone from your site, particularly someone as important to the SF community as myself, could you at least have the decency and courtesy of sending an email explaining WHY?? That would be the right, honorable thing to do, not just the surprise one gets when trying to visit the DAT site, and is unable to log in. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+FLOGGER23 2,793 Posted August 1, 2015 Why bother? if he refuses their models, we have the means and modders to make better stuff, he banned me for no apparent reason (just suspect he read about some Viggen stuff), the result will be a improved model in the future.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JediMaster 451 Posted August 4, 2015 The crazy hair guy talking about aliens on the History Channel has more credibility than these guys. They think we're all chomping at the bit to get their stuff, but really we're all just laughing at them. A lot. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First it was the downloads then a couple of years later the forums. As with you no reason. I'm sure though it's because I have had harsh words for them in the past.

firehawkordy 34 Posted September 28, 2015 Got banned from there last year acorrding to him it was too many downloads in one day. I was trying to get one of the campaigns that was in chunks and I was doing one at a time. I guess you have to the download one every 24 hrs and hope that it's not too fast. What ever, the forums are dead as far as I can tell and I don't really do any of the SF games anymore so **** it, I have everything I need on a spare drive and I'm sure that I can get anyting else from my buds. I do have to say that I'm proud to share company with such esteemed riff raff. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+daddyairplanes 8,680 Posted September 28, 2015 you know, that site runs off of donations. i suggest we all register at the below site to give the donation the site deserves.... http://dicksbymail.com/ feel free to give as able to.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firehawkordy 34 Posted September 28, 2015 That's the thing, I have given donations in the past to cover his costs but when you get told you're downloading too fast/much so I'm banning you it kind of kills my giving spirit. I never could undersand why he took all of his toys out of here and really doesn't like to share. Oh well, it's his site and stuff to do as he wishes, not going to let it bug me. Life is too short, and retirement is too fun to worry about shtuff like this. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skyfly 10 Posted October 22, 2015 So is there no point in trying to apply for access to their site? I kind of want to download their comprehensive Wings Over Africa install for SF2 instead of trying to scrounge up all the old SF1 files here and convert them to SF2.

JediMaster 451 Posted October 27, 2015 There was a period when that's exactly how it was. All their stuff was here and they had a presence here. I wouldn't say it was friendly, but it was cordial. There was widespread usage of their stuff, and in fact that's how I got all of their stuff that I have, from right here. Then overnight they opened their own site, put super-strict controls on it, and yanked all their stuff from here with immature cries of "it's our stuff, it can't be where we don't want it, WAAAAAA!!!!!" *insert kicking feet and waving fists here* Totally out of the blue, no explanation. Cooperation to isolation in a blink. I will never forgive them for their immaturity, childish behavior, and overall being dicks. It was uncalled for and they obviously have an undeserved superiority complex. They're huddling in their little filthy corner behind a "NO GRLS ALLOWD" sign and think they have some awesome fort. Let them circle jerk at their own awesomeness, only they believe it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
