I have just one word for this - MASS PARANOIA! I am against all sorts of change...

BOTF2 project exists for couple of years, still today no sign of " Birds of Pray" (Paramoun and others)! 4 years I come here for my daily or weekly dose of game news and now this is going to be shut down! Why?

Because few people want to hide behind locked doors like bunch of Orion smugglers to discuss some legal stuff?!

I had dicussion on this topic with some members and my conclusion is this: any action toward Paramount will bring nothing but negative effects!

For sake of democracy in this community forums on any topic must be open!

MSrobel on trial? I see it like this:

Botf2 Forum: The trial never ended. We never reached a verdict. But now we have. You're guilty. MStrobel: Guilty of what? Botf2 Forum : For having only 46 000 lines of code!

Zeleni keep cool , that's exactly what will happen. We stay open here. btw. that paramount hasn't shut us down in the past 3 years means nothing since we haven't had a playable alpha out here for download so they probably never hit one of the various games that were/are offered and promoted here.

to stay out of contact forever to paramount is something that I would not say we should do for sure. When time comes, a quick call to good ol Harry Lang talking about gavin and old times may be interesting (but again, only my personal opinion).

if they don't want us, they'll probably come up on their own. It was just the game companies that made me feel unease because there was (with botf1) some sort of projected could-be money loss involved if they actually wanted to make a commercial botf2.

still, we are grey as jig said it, but just leave it with that. the devels and admins will surely find a solution for this and in the meantime we are pretty safe in here IMHO.

can't this be discussed in the staff room?
