GreenWolf13 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Also, some dickwad is impersonating me over there. Anyone feel like helping me get a rat onto his system so I can have that account for myself? what do you mean by getting a rat onto his system? do you want to hack it? Or are you gonna tell an admin and hope that they do something useful for once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charcharmunro Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I thought that was a typo. Considering his/her avatar, I thought DarthMoogle would go for hamsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Can we talk about how horrible PlanetMinecraft is instead? That place?! You know, let's not travel down that excrement covered, maggot infested road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakachu Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 what do you mean by getting a rat onto his system? do you want to hack it? Or are you gonna tell an admin and hope that they do something useful for once? a RAT, or Remote Access/Administration Tool is a program that is designed to allow a remote user access to and control over the machine it's installed on. if you've ever dealt with tech support and they had you go install something or go to a certain web page so that they could see your screen and control your mouse remotely, you've seen a RAT. they have plenty of legit uses (go to my PC/log me in type services, remote tech support, etc). they also have plenty of nefarious uses, like taking over someone's PC to steal information or do other nasty things that you wouldn't want associated with your real IP or whatever.

TheSandwichMakr Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I think that you should somehow publicize the fact that you have permission or message direwolf and ask him to tell people that tekkit actually does have permission and that he was mistaken because honestly before I saw this thread I didnt think you had permission for anything. But the minecraft forums arent that bad, its hard to manage as many users as they have so I can see why they would have to remove posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you enter the main page and click donate you are only allowed to donate to the makers of each mod. I think that should be enough for people to accept the pack. There are always going to be people that complain about it no matter what. Its just a shame that a modding community can become so wrapped up in the whole adfly theme with many mod makers and how important a few dollars are its ridiculous. In the time I was around the Morrowind and Oblivion modding community I rarely remember even seeing donation links and some were put up at the request of users. Its just a bummer than its caused issues within this particular community. In the end people who will use this pack will use it, those who wont will denounce it and cry while we enjoy our easy to use mod pack =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakj Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Talk about going in circles: Now people are repeating questsions and answers that are only a page apart. It may be, as Dire says, "a good wrapping-up point" for this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were also a couple silly people who tryed the 'it's my stuff' routene, but that just resulted in a better version by someone else showing up the next day. It wasn't a good community, but it wasn't so outright toxic. I find it funny how people think people consider Direwolf to be the end-all speaker for all mods everywhere. Direwolf has a large enough community among mod users that him saying something /wrong/ could cause things to flare up. He interacts with the mod makers a lot too. Honestly, he /is/ the closest thing to a figure head for interaction with the modding community. His channel is based on mod spotlights, he plays with the mod developers and does so while specalising in no mod, and isn't a developer himself. He's in such a position he'll say little I suspect though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And anyone could stick a donate button anywhere and it doesnt prove to misinformed people you have permission for anything, adlfy may give them around 500 dollars a version if 100,000 people downloaded it assuming they didnt use adblock (ok maybe thats a bit exaggerated).

The_DarthMoogle Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Or you can just use those external download sites. Although that is illegal. So I'll stop now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I've never been able to stomach their site layout long enough to find out. That's part of the reason why I haven't gone there very long. Other part: Massive amounts of "HUR DUR MY OWN OBSIDIAN TOOLS MOD" and such things. It's really bad. Least MCForums has some organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSandwichMakr Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 "A bit" exaggerated? Fuck, son...come back down to reality a while. The air's fresher. Its not that exaggerated you even see it says $4 per 1,000 links, if nobody used adblock and everyone who downloaded the mods went to adfly then they could easily get 4 or 500 dollars from it.

jakj Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Unless you can point me to more-specific wording, that's per 1000 clicks on the ad, not 1000 clicks through the ad display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
