Hi, I did the same thing Stephen, I almost closed RS Games because of the complaints, I did close it, and came back several days later thinking no one said why they hated GSV, but of course I have received few complaints on SDM, other then the constructive criticism. I no longer listen to flames, or anything like that. You can block them damien... And know GSV is going open-source, so it turned into a learning project for others of what not to do :)! And don't leave Damien, they most likely complained just for you to lower the price...

Re: [Audyssey] I am really worried, we could lose another game dev again
Hi all. This sounds like something similar that happened to me a while back. WHen I first started developing games, they were simple games to play. Some people said I had no talent. It got me down for a couple of months, but I recovered from that. It sounds like the same thing here. I'm still developing games, even some simple ones, but I'm building up to complex ones as I continue to grow in programming skills. I'm not sure if this is Damien's first or second game in vb, so I know what he's going through at the moment. That's just my 2 cents on the matter. I hope Damien keeps on making games and stuff.

Hi Stephen, As someone who has litterally been there before I know what Damien needs is some time to himself and down time. When the community lashes out as they are now it is often best to not be active until things die down. I don't think Damien should go yank his web site down and totally leave the list, but I do think all he needs to do is stay away from his email for a day or to. Perhaps put a few nasty peoples email addresses in his junk filters. Believe me when I was being verbaly abused by a few members of this community a while back over the time it is taking to complete Monte and Raceway I eventually just put their email in my filters and off to the trash they went. I told them nicely that I would get it done when I could, and when they cussed me out I told them I was blocking them as I would not respond or argue with unreasonable customers.

What we're seeing is exactly the same situation as with.. another game dev, a few idiots get the dev all angry, the game dev starts lashing out at everyone around him, then throws a fit and threatens to pull his site. if you want to be a game developer, then you need to have really thick skin. As a developer, he should be asking himself, why are people giving me so much grief?, what is it about the game they dont like? In no way am I trying to say what these idiots are doing is right, but punishing everyone because of a couple of trouble makers doesn't really achieve anything. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] I am really worried, we could lose another game dev again
Hi Damien, Rest assured Raul and I are attempting to moderate the flaming parties on our end of things. As far as what to do on your end I would try adding certain abusive critics to your junk mail controls and off to the trash they will go. As a game developer myself I have seen both the good and bad this community has to offer, and generally the community as a whole isn't bad. There are however 5 to 10 people that can really get out of control and flame, bash, or complain no matter what you do. In such a case what I did is simply add them to my Thunderbird junk mail controls and if they have been writing me their emails are going strait to the trash without me looking at them. I haven't the time or the energy to deal with being flamed by immature, rude, or very unreasonable users. As a game developer you really need to have two important skills. One you need to have a thick skin, like a force field, and let complaints, attacks, etc bounce off of you like you are made of rubber. Second, if it gets to be too much to handle just let them know you are in control, and are not going to take it any more. Just block their emails, set up a filter rule of some kind, and goodby trouble maker. It is your choice weather to tell them you are blocking them or not. Though, it is funnier if you don't so they send a billion emails that goes into some spam trapper, junk filter, and ends up in the trash. Hehehehe.

Re: [Audyssey] I am really worried, we could lose another game dev again
Hi, Yeah Damien just take some days to yourself, you made a good game, and be proud of it. Just add it to blocked users, or whatever you use... I went through the same thing, flaming emails, they are all blocked, and if they need support, thats there problem now, there blocked and thats final. ThunderBird is great, I was actually considering writing an autoit script for general POP to block any words, which includes email. I based it on a since this community is so small, that if 2 people hate it, everyone else does. Thats not true. Those 2 specific people will always be in my mind, and I forgive them, but it's not forgive without forget :). I've been in this community for about a year, and have seen black-hats, crackers, mean people, the whole lot, and I never spoke to them again. There blocked. I mean, I probably can list those people right now, and they just complained on gsv, which cost them nothing... So what I'm trying to say is, just keep making games, we're here for you, and some people, who feel using aggressive and threatening messages will solve the problem deserve to get there messages moderated. There's a way to express anger, and publically isn't necessarily the answer. I thank you. -Ryan Smith --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
