I was responding to a post that asked if it was legal to sell patches. B) As to Jermey Elson doing more work than I on a mud, I'd put that up to debate any day of the week. Ebon Mists is 3x the code size of stock circle, and I have COMPLETELY overhauled the world/mob/obj prototypes into a format which is 100x better and more memory and cpu efficient, and have just quite recently done the same to allow for my zone olc to work 100x more efficiently. I'm not flaming Jermey, he's done an AMAZING job and my mud wouldnt be around withouyt his code and hard work, but it is unfair for you to say he's done more than I have. IMHO The world/mob/obj/zone changes I made should BE IN Circle, but as I emailed him a few months ago about it and got no reply, I assumed his answer was no. C) I never ever ever ever EVER said profit. I NEVER said that I wanted to make a profit off the mud. I never IMPLIED that I wanted to make a profit off the mud. What I DID say was that it would be nice if we could accept donations to help offset the costs of running a mud. When a player hears be bitch about my phone and ISP bill, and they willingly and gladly offer me a donation without me even asking for it (It HAS happened) it kinda sucks that I have to say no because the diku creators said that I cant. Well regardless. I'm junking all the circle code in my mud anyway sometime soon and rewriting it to the way I'd like it, so dont bitch about socket handling and port shit and whatnot. Because I do know how to do it. > > > > Not to try and beat the system, but as I feel that restriction is unfair, > > here's an idea on how you can get donations for your site without them being > > Bleh... and I thought you were pretty lame for spamming the list with > ads and numerous followup posts about a commercial mud site (which most > ISP's have been offering for years).

Go ahead, puke, it's unfair that I cant take a donation someone offered to me. WHo the fuck are you? One of the diku cerators in disguise? Or just someone who's amazingly proud of Diku/Circle and who will stand by it til your death? I've never seen someone defend the license so vehemently as you have. Hades Ps. This is the last post to the list regarding this. You talk about spamming the list Skylar but your long winded reply to me went to the list, not directly. This is on the list because I WILL defend my views... and if you say things about me publicaly, I'll respond in like. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Systems Administrator of MudTech.com.
