This is to be a social networking hub, more like Facebook or Myspace than a forum. |

We're simply implying that the idea may be better to base it around social networking instead of the standard, everyday, normal forum. Do something
that hasn't been done before. |
Need I say more? Didn't think so. Therefore my statement is NOT false.
|
Yes it is false. These are not set-stone ideas or developments. In case you haven't noticed there is no set plan on 2.0 yet, because all of the focus
has been on resolving 1.9's issues.

Michael, I don't need or want your negativity here. Negativity is prevalent enough at xmb. |
This is not negativity, it's correcting a statement which is false. If someone went around spreading rumors that X item is being provided by you,
wouldn't you want to confirm to users that it is not true? I don't believe I need to say more.

Your signature isn't banned, I'm not sure what you're on about?

And it's mainly because of the lack of direction and lack of leadership at xmb is why I'm branching out along with all the ridiculous back to back
beta, rc, sp releases that makes it nearly impossible to keep hacks updated. |
We've been trying to fix the issues that were never addressed or issues which were kicked and rolled off to the side in 1.9.8, I hardly see how that
is a "lack of leadership" rather than addressing the issues that previous management failed to tend to. Beta, RC, SP...blame the ones responsible
for such, not the ones who fixed most of the issues and are starting on the next version.
Feel free to reban me for this statement but don't delete this post, I'm wanting the users to see this so they understand that once again XMB's
having to deal with more users splitting due to their own issues. It's not our fault you updated mods and the like KNOWING that 1.9.9 was coming out,
YOU KNEW THIS. You said so yourself, don't try and make XMB look like the bad guy here.
I do enjoy seeing how you like to group those of us who wanted to take XMB back in as a "hostile, negative group", instead of those who are trying
to deal with all the backlash, from Aventure Media, defecting projects...the redundance of Ultra and Ultima and the like. It astounds me and the rest
of the group how so many people can complain about change and lack of leadership when they can't step up and try to fix it themselves, that just
blows my mind. Then when people finally do do it, you all go hog wild whining and complaining because "that's not what we want." It's not my fault
you're not bringing these issues to the front, it's not XMB's fault you're not either, it's your own fault.
Jim, this would be what, the third dramatic issue you've made about XMB since 2005? 2006? Why is that? It's important to you is it not? If it's so
important, why do you insist on trying to make things more tense between the XMB Community and yourself? I should extend this to include John as well,
why is it you all feel the need to continue to increase tension with the XMB Group?
You may not like us, we may not like you...guess what, we're supporting people, real live human beings, and I'll go ahead and tag on what Tanner was
saying on XMB, why we can't be like Drupal and Joomla...why...because, we've never been offered that oppertunity by UltraXMB, or Ultima...why should
we show the same hospitality in return? These were defected forks in the XMB Core software...there was sole intent during UltimaBB's inception, to
compete with XMB. Why do we have to be like others, what makes you all think we need to support you guys, when all you do is whine about things, you
complain, you don't contribute when you're not on staff...and when we patch the fixes everyone else seems to fix you get all pissed off.
Who's the villan here Jim? Think REALLY hard.
