OK all
As you may well know the Vset threads have been removed as requested.
However the same thread is on both SWGamers and at WOTC. so hope you see you all there.

EDIT, about the post below asking what happened. I would just like to say i do not know anything myself and have not asked because i do not wish to get involved.

However as 3 of my threads went down i just wanted everyone who did post in those threads to know that SWGamers and WOTC still have the threads up, and if members wanted to still talk about the topics in question they can.

Thanks

Bluntly...


DarthJak made a point about BlooMilk being ad free in the dollar a month club.

dnemiller is the owner of swmgamers.com. He and others interpreted that as a jab at swmgamers.com. (dnemiller and DarthJak had a history before that, but I know nothing about it.)

DarthJak deleted several of those posts without warning or explanation.

Complaints about the deletions were similarly deleted. The threads with the complaints had baiting/attacks in both directions.

shinja, the owner of the site, does not read the forums but spoke to DarthJak and sided with him regarding the deletions. But he said any future deletions would have explanations given.

For dnemiller, this was the "last straw" so to speak. He asked the vsets to be removed from BlooMilk. Again, there's a history there but I don't know the details. The vsets are being designed by a committee of 3 (engineer, Boris, and fingersandteeth). dnemiller put the committee together and is in charge of it in some way, although he's not on the committee itself.


(I'm just an observer - I wasn't part of either side of the arguments.)

Yeah, just reporting what I observed the past couple days. I'm sure there's a lot of history that I don't know about.

I don't care about personal beefs, jabs at certain people, or past problems people have had with others.

I have had some issues with certain high-ranking members of the SWM community in the past, but when it really comes down to it, none of it matters because it's just a game. A game that I have poured a lot of money into and enjoyed playing, but I have never spoken about personal feelings for others in a public forum, nor will I ever.

The V-sets are a labor of love that some have taken on to try to keep this game going and I have faith that they are putting as much care into the minis they are creating as the team that worked for WOTC did. I am excited to see what the V-sets bring to the game and I am sad that this site has hit a speed bump that may not allow it to share information.

If we are all expected to buy into the "community" we need to be able to share information. SWM game players have been creating custom miniatures since the game was released, and as long as no money is ever made from the transmission of information that is LFL property, then no law is ever violated. In short, I think it is wrong to punish those of use who chose one forum over another. (I have NEVER been able to log into Gamers using my profile, so I cannot see the information contained on that site).

I really don't know where I am going with this, other than if we are all expected to be a part of this game in the future, then any "officially, unofficial" products that are produced should not be claimed by one "side" of the community.

In short, "why can't we all just get along"?

Bummer. I was hoping this was a thread telling me they were making a set of miniatures from the V TV show. I love Anna!!!

I don't have time for any more drama from this community and I am so tired of people acting like children and thinking they are more important than they are. This is not pointed at any one individual as many of us including myself at different times have acted way immature. I just can't take this anymore, I come to these boards for a release from an over the top Doctorate program, a new baby, and a recent lose of employment. All I find here time after time is drama, drama, drama and more stress. You would think we were a bunch of girls. THIS IS A FREAKING GAME!!! something that is suppose to be fun!! This community is not fun!!! It hasn't been since the whole Gowk debacle, it has been bitch , nag, bitch ever sense. The game has been great to me every since the begining and for that I am thankful! Anyway, I am through, the game from Wizards is dead and over and now it has died for me as well, I bid thee all farewell! I wish you all many happy returns, and best wishes on the V-sets and the continued development of the competitive game. It will be what you all make it!! I know I am not alone here and know personally 2 other people who have stopped coming around this community on all three boards because of the drama and down right lack of respect we have for each other. Hopefully you can pull yourselves together before this game collapses in all your faces. Lastly I am sorry for any and all parts of drama I have added to the community, either here, or the Wotc website. So long!! If you want a fun game, were people even from this community go and treat each other with respect, head on over to Forumini and learn the game WAS, it is a blast!! There are 4 or 5 people that post here, Wotc, and SWG that are involved over there.

Previews, Sneak Peaks and Spoilers Here!

I agree with most of this. I just don't understand why some people are so sensitive. I applaud those at Gamers for their work. The vast majority of us are not critical of those designing the V sets. Why does it have to be an us against them mentality. I am a regular listener on Sith Holonet news and I thoroughly enjoy the content. But there are times when I have to fastforward the poor me attitudes and everyone at Bloo milk is against me crying. Both these sites have a common goal. No need for anyone to Lord it over anyone either. Sure they have a right to make the v-sets exclusive to gamers but come on.

no it is because some people abuse their mod "powers" and are not punished for it

Started way before that. These types of things have been going on every 3-4 months on WOTC and here for years. It always seems to involve the same individuals as well.
