charcharmunro Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Honestly, this thread's become a bit of a cluster right now and it's difficult to glean information from it.
jakj Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 According to the Technic staff, they have permission for everything. That is all you need to know. If you believe them, great; If you don't believe them, we don't care.
charcharmunro Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 I see no reason not to believe them, really. If they're lying, I couldn't care less, anyway. Technic's convenient and installing so many mods can sometimes be a hassle.
Lothos Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 for the love of christ, permission is not needed for publicly released material. The modpack's point is to provide a package of already available mods to the public.It would be one thing if someone took a mod like forestry and made it simply create sparklefarts as you flew thru the air by grossly changing the code within the mod thereby breaking the copyright ( that they have to apply for anyway ). The redistribution of material that is otherwise available freely isn't even against copyright law provided its unaltered. Now, can we get off the damn permission bandwagon?
Jorcer Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Quote from MCFourms: "Tekkit/Technic also does not cross-donate. These mod authors get small donations, and small amounts from Ad Fly, to fund their modding efforts. Even if it just buys them a coke, it is a tangeble benifit and reward for a good job (unlike forum pages filled with "when will the update be out" whining). Tekkit/Technic, however, takes all of their ad $, donations, and Ad Fly cash and keeps it for themselves, for their "integration" team (who haven't updated from 1.2.3 yet, if you notice). Not a penny goes to the modders that actually made these mods, and they have built a large online infrastructure, full of ads, on this. Someone is making bank (comparatively) and it is not the people who actually made these mods. And, oh yeah, they add whatever they want to it, without bothering to ask permission. That tends to tick people off too." Damn you KakerMix!!!111! Stealing their Ad-Fly Money. And what is this about a secret "integration team"!!! I am ashamed! On a serious note, the misinformation is infuriating. Everyone and their uncle can post shit like this on the MC Forum, but a single, level headed supporter of the Pack gets flamed, deleted and banned. *Hangs head in shame*

I will see your 99% and raise you 1% more. Honestly, this guy likely saw some YouTube comment about how "Technic scuks" (sic) and then just misread/misinterpreted a handful of biased posts on YouTube or MCForums and then decided to vent his anger. It makes me laugh how gullible and impressionable people are. They see something on a website that look semi-credible and go off preaching about something they had never heard of until 20 minutes ago.
charcharmunro Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I'm sure somebody, somewhere, will end up blaming the Yogscast somehow.
GreenWolf13 Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Oh god, now it's bound to happen. On a serious. ote they did kinda start this, by bringing the pack to public attention before it was ready, since at the time it was a private modpack that didn't need permissions. So if you want to be a real dickbqag, you coould say it is their fault. I personally love them for it, because id they hadn't done that, the pack may have never gone public, and then none of us would be able to enjoy it.
Jorcer Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Ahhhha!! Some more gems from the MC Fourms... (We almost need an entire section devoted to these, kinda like the Whale Box) "Cant wait for tekkit to burn in a fire because of this <3" (Talking about the FTB Mod Pack) "People should be aware of the evil that is the Technic Pack, thanks for brining it to our attention, ignorance in an age of such connectivity is not realy an excuse anymore" (User complementing the guy yelling about Kaker stealing modders ad $)

At first I thought it was a typo, but it seems to be an humorous nickname after all.

Sorry Xylord, but I seem to be missing something, your post just went right over my head ( I assume you know that MC Forums is the Minecraft Forums)
Lothos Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I just can't believe there's not a higher authority at Curse with a fucking brain that you can communicate with to kick their staff in the ass and do their jobs to stop allowing BS from spreading. If anything, Mojang should smack Curse upside the head. It's their community thats only suffering more and more as the wrong info is allowed to spread while the truth gets censored out.
GreenWolf13 Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I think that curse isn't even under mojang control, they just took over the mc forums url from the previous guy, and so mojang links to it. I don't even know if they even care about the forum, which would explain alot actually.

If anything, Mojang should smack Curse upside the head. It's their community thats only suffering more and more as the wrong info is allowed to spread while the truth gets censored out. Why should Mojang care? Why would they risk their "relationship" with Curse for such a small segment of the community. I dislike it as much as you, but the best way to deal with it is to keep a level head and ignore the misinformed kids and trolls. That chat-log posted earlier in the thread was a great example of how these two communities should interact. (On a side note nice job Cheepshot you are a credit to the pack and this community) Everyone also needs to stop thinking of it as a battle between us and them. The Us vs. Them philosophy will only lead to more animosity and hate in both groups. EDIT: GreenWolf13, the lack of interaction between Mojang and the community is startling when you think about it. It is supposed to be this open community where players can interact with the devs and help shape the game, however there is absolutely no interaction on the forums from anyone at Mojang.
Lothos Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 the problem is the curse owned forum is considered the official one and as such the community for mojang should mainly be there especially for newcomers. Therefore mojang SHOULD care that the people modding their forum are doing so in an unbiased manner. Or at the very least should be making an effort to stop wrongful rumormill bullshit from spreading.
Xylord Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Sorry Xylord, but I seem to be missing something, your post just went right over my head ( I assume you know that MC Forums is the Minecraft Forums) Oh, it's just that you misspelled MCFourms twice rather than MCForums, so I thought it was intentional. ;D Nevermind then.

I agree complacently ( I misspelled completely and my auto-correct fixed it to complacently I will leave this as it made me chuckle) Oh, it's just that you misspelled MCFourms twice rather than MCForums, so I thought it was intentional. ;D Nevermind then. Ahh I see, nope just big thumbs and a small phone Also hey look, a mod showed up in the Forestry page... "Any further accusations regarding malware or any hostilty, attempt to start a flame war, flame baiting, or attacks to SirSengir will be dealt with. Keep this topic clean of it. It is his right that he wants this mod not to be in tekkit - accept it. sincerely, wolfenstein19 PS : This mod contains no malware, to clarify that." To be fair however, putting malicious code that specifically targets certain computers does fit many definitions of malware (haha autocorrect wants this to say Waldemar) ... Just saying...
GreenWolf13 Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Is it wring that i picture you as a giant hairy viking warrior sitting in a tiny little subway seat holding a tiny little iPhone and posting on this forum Jorcer? Because that's the mental image i get of you when i try to picture what you look like.

You sir/madam, have just made my day. Also, you sound like my mom... "JORCER SHAVE YOUR BEARD!", "JORCER, BUY A BIGGER PHONE!", "JORCER, STOP HANGING OUT AT THE SUBWAY STATION WITH THAT VIKING HELMET ON!"
jakj Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I wonder how they're going to split their adf.ly income from the modpack, especially since not every mod author in the pack (like Sengir) even uses adf.ly in the first place.

GreenWolf13 Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I think she's refering to the post where the guy quoted the MCForums guy who said that the technic crew steals money from modders. I think. Edit: Oh,wait, tht guy was you. I feel like a derp now.
Lothos Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 so, not only do we have idiot users spouting out info they know nothing about, but now we have moderators too?
Jorcer Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Ahh that makes sense Also in other news a new candidate for the Whale Box has apeared and I am the hacker who changed all of your ages to 112 and changed the profile pics of Shitposters...
