For years this forum has been built upon the basis of preserving, and distributing (as much as its swept under the rug), the OOT and now that GL has given us the best available release of the OOT out there are we thanking him? No. We are slapping him in the face and accusing him of hate mongering his own product. Many members of this forum have put in long hours and received many pats on the back for releasing quality sets that, to be honest, just don't hold up anymore. In fact now seeing the sets we were all so high on in a side by side comparison with the new set shows you just how blurry and washed out many of them actually looked. None of the sets from Moth3r, Dr Gonzo, Citizen, the EditDroid group, Cowclops, DarkJedi or anyone else approaches the level of detail, sharpness or color quality that we are seeing in this new set. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not putting down any of these individuals for their work, they all did the very best they could with what was available to them and are to be commended for their efforts but their efforts have now been surpassed. I won't be throwing away my different fan editions of the OOT, such as TR47, Cowclops v2, Moth3r, ocpmovie's Classic Editions, Editdroid, DarkJedi's various releases and more, but I just don't see myself watching them anymore now that I have the definitive release to this point in terms of audio and video quality available from a retail source. That said I am still awaiting the XØ Project and look forward to something that is sure to become the defacto standard for the OOT upon its release. And it may take the release of the XØ set to get GL to release the set that everyone seems to want but I think we've done well with this one. I mean afterall, its mission accomplished, the OOT is on DVD.

** The above forum entry was not in any way intended as an attack on any of the individual members of this forum that have put in the 100's and 1000's of hours preserving the OOT. And should anyone feel offended by my remarks then please accept my apologies in advance. I respect and thank you for your efforts and hope that this new release only inspires you to loftier heights and greater acheivements. **
