Title: Goodbye
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 01, 2006, 03:42:00 am
I have decided to leave the site. It seems that whenever I do something people complain, it seems nothing I do is right, I am not even allowed to have fun sometimes, and when I try to do people start whining. The last time I did an April fools prank, and when I did that halloween prank only thing I got was complain and threats that people will not come back. If nothing I do is right why should I stay here? I thought the people here were more respectful, and if this is what they call respect they are wrong, and you know who you are. I am tired of complains about everything I do. I am sorry you feel this way about my work and what I do in the community, so goodbye.

Afterward there may be no chances of my comeback as my account will be disabled and even the other admin cannot revert the changes, as only member #1 can edit it.

I know I and at least some others come here to post and discuss and so forth, not be confused by all the names being the same.  Perhaps you thought the joke was funny, but to make such a clamour because others did not is... :gah:fou.gif

Post by: rivereye on November 01, 2006, 04:48:00 am
true, it was just the way it was done. Also, xlibman, weren't you and I supposed to talk about this before you would go through with this?
Title: Goodbye
Post by: Spellshaper on November 01, 2006, 05:56:00 am
ah well... I told you people on numerous occasions what I think about all that bickering, pseudo-civilized flaming and all other options of pissing people off. ;_;

I won't complain, I won't participate in the discussion that will almost certainly follow this, simply because I had enough of that. Period.

Isn't a prank funny when you actually trick the people? Well you did just that, so what's the problem?

Post by: Halifax on November 01, 2006, 07:06:00 am
Yes he did trick us but it was hard to concentrate with those names and it lasted for a week I think or at least it seemed it did. I don't think xlibman should leave.

EDIT: Stop thinking of the bad timese look at the good times like the forum for thanking xlibman...remember that...it seemed like people cared about you a whole lot in that forum and called you a legend in BASIC programming so the only talking about your work that I have heard was good talking and also in the other forum Wtf? Alex was right no one made attacks on you personally

EDIT(I don't want to double post): Yeah at first I was like haahha someone hacked omnimaga but then it dragged on with people posting in forums answering me and I didn't even know who it was then the pictures went later on and I had to go by sigs which was very hard overall Kevin you can make your decision but I don't think that it is people are quick to say your wrong I think you are quick to say people are saying your wrong

EDIT:(last time):It is very saddening to me thought to go to school then come on omnimaga and find out that one of the people that got me started programming 83+'s two years ago si leaving. Well 8th period has ended ill be leaving now

 exactly my position...funny for a while but it quickly became confusing and either way, nothing was meant against kevin in my feelings about it

Hmm... I didn't mind the joke too much, it was just hard to tell who was posting... :/confused.gif

It isn't a big deal, and I'd be sad and disappointed if you left because of this.  Next time, just talk this through with rivereye or whoever you should have talked this through with.  I'm pretty sure nobody hates because of this; they just might have been slightly annoyed by the confusion.  Also, when you are saying that you're going to leave all of the time, that also gets people annoyed, so please try to think  for a long time before you post and pull pranks.  I don't want you to leave, and I'm sure nobody else here does.  Just realize what happenned and fix it next time.
Title: Goodbye
Post by: Alex on November 01, 2006, 11:41:00 am
Bfr, what's there to fix? I don't understand why people got annoyed in the first place, it's a FORUM, don't take it like it's your life. He made a joke, he's the guy who made this site available to us in the first place, is he not allowed to have some fun once in a while? Lighten up you little...

- Alex
Title: Goodbye
Post by: bfr on November 01, 2006, 11:45:00 am
I didn't really mind, but something needs to be fixed because people were unhappy.  xlibman needs to realize that the comments though weren't directed towards him, they were directed towards the problem and thought something was really wrong.  In my mind, xlibman, you overall suceeded in tricking us.
Title: Goodbye
Post by: kirbykook on November 01, 2006, 12:14:00 pm
...Sorry to see you go.

Unfortunately I wasn't here for most of the things you mentioned. The spellshaper thing was funny, I just had to identify someone by their sig.

Title: Goodbye
Post by: rivereye on November 01, 2006, 12:31:00 pm
it was alright, I just happened to not find it funny. It sucks that my comments drove him away again (but he has to realize that as much as he is sensitive, I am sarcastic and up front on what bothers me). I do hope that he can be brought back though.

I don't see why you're leaving. Have courage to stand up to problems.

Besides, it's not like anyone is mad at you.  Don't take things so seriously.
Title: Goodbye
Post by: rivereye on November 01, 2006, 01:48:00 pm
very true, right now, you have me depressed right now, and I don't know what to do about anything.
Title: Goodbye
Post by: Netham45 on November 01, 2006, 01:52:00 pm
I am here to talk to if you need someone to talk to.....

if it wern't for Omnimaga and you, xlibman, specifically, I would have left the community when that Cemetech thing happened......

All of us really wanted you to stay.  Anyway, what did you want people to say if they really thought something was wrong?  Did you want them to say, "Yea!  Everybody has the same nick-name!  Yeah, IPB can be faulty at times, but this bug/error is sure awesome!"?  I mean, really, the people who fell for it, not that it's a bad thing to fall for xlibman's trick, really believed that something was wrong, and were bothered by it.  They didn't mean to offend you or anything.  It would have been hard for them to offend you purposely anyway if they didn't even know it was who  was behind this.

I hope we've already conveyed this to you, but once again, we all want you to stay.  You're a great person and have helped us all a lot.

I dunno why people got so mad for -- it was a little confusing, sure, but at least there is a sense of humor here and things don't stay boring like the other forums do -- [forced coughing] UnitedTI [forced coughing] -- where everything's the same all the time (and my attention span is way too short for that :Ptongue.gif)
Title: Goodbye
Post by: rivereye on November 01, 2006, 02:44:00 pm
yours may be, but I like a consistency in my life.
Title: Goodbye
Post by: bfr on November 01, 2006, 02:44:00 pm
Although you, FMR, didn't specifically say so, I think many people are getting the wrong idea from me.  I'm kind of agreeing with both sides.

xlibman:  The comments weren't directed towards you, please don't get upset.  In my opinion, you successfully tricked many of us.

Erm...people who are misunderstanding me?:  Yeah, it isn't really a big deal though.  I enjoy a bit of fun here and there, and it only lasted a short time anyway.
Title: Goodbye
Post by: spengo on November 01, 2006, 03:13:00 pm
I thought it was funny... :Ptongue.gif

You should be like me and be all like "LOL I pwned u!" instead of all like "oh s***, I accidentally pwned you, I'm gonna go away and never come back now" Srsly man, there's nothing here to even be depressed about - all the ppl that were like "zomg everyone is spelli h4x h4x" are all like "rofl" now that they know it was the joke, yo?

Try to like, look at the situation as an outsider. 'Cause it's like "okay, so this dude plays a trick on his forum but when the trick succeeds he gets sad that it succeeded and decided to leave." It doesn't make any sense!

I dunno, that's what I see being a dude who barely understands the difference between happy and angry and acts according to objective observation and (flawed :Dbiggrin.gif ) logic.

Anyways I dunno what I'm trying to say, but be happy because there is nothing to be sad about and stuff. :reuben:reuben.gif <== reuben says so too!
Title: Goodbye
Post by: rivereye on November 01, 2006, 03:14:00 pm
I made a comment on what I thought of the situation xlibman created, and he didn't like it, it all went downhill from there.

Is it me, or do I seem to cause a lot of the problems with xlibman recently?

I know, but it is me who sent him over the edge (I point to you the counting topic).
Title: Goodbye
Post by: spengo on November 01, 2006, 03:26:00 pm
it's just you. :Ptongue.gif It's 'cause he tends to think all bad things in the world are his fault. Or at least, that's what I'm getting. xlibman is not the cause of you being sad, you are not the cause of him being sad. You guys are making yourselves sad by thinking stuff like this! Rawr how do I say. Stop only thinking about bad stuff and instead go do something you pwnz0r at. What happened 10 minutes ago is forgotton. Clear your cache!

Post by: Netham45 on November 01, 2006, 05:45:00 pm
This coupled with IRL events has made me depressed. Sorry if I am being an a**hole to anyone on the forums, you didn't do anything, but this and my dad.....

Awww, Kevin, don't leave cuz of this!!!! If someone can't take a little APRIL FOOLS DAY prank then they should go be a hermit and not use a computer. Don't let it get to you.

EDIT: And how can you think that everyone is complaining about what you do? Already there's 3 pages of forum posts saying not to leave. People here care about you, man!
Title: Goodbye
Post by: Lionel Debroux on November 01, 2006, 10:07:00 pm
Well, I don't think that the reason he's posting here is the only reason why Kevin Ouellet would leave...
Remember for example http://omnimaga.org/index.php?showtopic=703&st=0 ? I had seen the saddening news on the TI-News Conglomerate, but never read the topic before today.

I'm not going to waste my and your time to repeat what most of us know about Kevin Kofler's "non-technical" behaviour. We all know he maintains TIGCC - not everyone agrees with his technical decisions, but there's nothing to do to change that - and helps people a lot on multiple boards, since many years.
However, as a human being, well... let's just mention that there are valid reasons why so many persons don't like him to various extents. It just took me way too long to understand the root cause, as I wrote over at TICT HQ...


@Kevin Ouellet: anyway, whether you decide to leave or to stay, good luck ;)wink.gif
Title: Goodbye
Post by: necro on November 02, 2006, 01:14:00 am
we all want you to come back and were not complaining about you but the joke.  We are all sorry if you took offense but it wasn't that we disliked you, some of us just got fustrated by the joke after a while.  Come back...

Post by: Halifax on November 02, 2006, 07:04:00 am
Yes it is very hard to see Kevin go but I think it has been a long time coming with not just this instance but many other one's where Kevin has felt attacked so rivereye it is not only your fault he left it was many people in the community including me I think(refer to my first post in this forum thread)

And yea I was never mad at xlibman for this cause I didn't know he did it I thought some hacker did it and a I was about to ebeathisbutt haha my humor sucks

Who is gonig to be there when nobody is posting on their foruma about there game. Who is going to lift their spirits up so a great game can be made, cause I know myself that Kevin was always their for anybody no mattetr what

Post by: lolje on November 02, 2006, 07:34:00 am

Post by: Halifax on November 02, 2006, 01:40:00 pm
3fg don't take your anger out on one person because if you are going to take it out on him then you have to take it out on #tigcc too, there are many people you can point the finger at that have all added to this consequence and it is not cool just to make another person leave for another one to stay we are all humans and our feelings can get hurt online just as they can in real life

 I am going to pretend I didn't read that...

Anyways, I suppose if kevin realy has left all we can do is try to make omnimaga as good as we can.  Hopefully, he will come back and I think everyone has a sentiment of wanting him to do so.  Further, I have not seen any intended offense at him from anyone...but I think we may have to respect his decision either way.  Though we may all want him to come back, we can't realy force him to.

Hope ya kick your depression soon and see ya later! Be happy! :)smile.gif
