Alright, I am sorry OCP got banned. I haven't bothered reading everything so I have no opinion about what happened. But he did bring up something from the past, and that was how he was posting how badly the X0 project got owned and how pathetic it was they wasted so much time and money. He really was being a jerk, there was no point to it at all. He was practically spamming the boards writing the same thing over and over. I have usually had a lot of repect for OCP, but his actions that day made me loose a lot of respect for him. I simply posting something along the line of "why are you acting like such as ass" and I believe I went on to say that he doesn't have to care about the x0 if he does not want to, but there are those of us who still do. Since then he has on multiple occasions MISQUOTED that particular post I mentioned above, in true yellow journalist manner. It is pretty annoying. As you see he has used it once again. Having spent a great deal of time on the boards at that time, I can also say that several of the other posts that he quotes are also edited to change there meaning as well. I like ocp, but I have to say he really was behaving like a drunken idiot on the occasion that he mentioned.

Okay, I read the whole thread, sorry he was banned, but what a dork. What the hell was he thinking. Yes, people did bootleg his work at conventions, that sucks. But I think it has happened to just about every preservation and fan edit/project from the beginning. Even the Phantom Edit was often sold for unbelievable prices on ebay and on the bootleg market. This has been an issue since day one. It always will be. The movie industry has been trying to put a stop to their own movies being pirated for a long time and they have a lot more money and resources to take care of it than any of us. They have not been sucessful so far, so why would ocp's efforts to put an end to this have been sucessful? I don't think his effort to put a stop to his own stuff being pirated is any ground AT ALL to even partly justify his pirating others work. Even selling his own preservation efforts is completely against everything this site and the whole fanedit/preservation community has ever stood for. A lot of people here are stuggling with money, many of which have families to care for as well as themelves, but it gives nobody the right to sell other peoples work. Really doesn't give them the right to sell their own preservation efforts either. Even though Delected Magic was ocp's own project, the source material was not his.

vbangle, this is a totally different situation from those drama queens in the off topic section. OCP is making his own kind of drama with this thing, but at least he has been a valuable member of the community and made some very good contributions. Our old friends from the off topic thread have made no contributions to anything (neither have I, but then again I do not consider my self one of the "most important" members).

Also I wish people would look at both sides of the story before posting stupid comments about how wrong the form moderaters were. I don't know why OCP makes such a big deal about the X0, many people seem to think it is a retarded effort, I for one am looking forward to it. If you don't care about it, it really isn't hurting you. Personally, I think OCP's classic editions look like crap. I spent hours downloading it and was really looking forward to it, when I finally finished downloading it and put it in to watch it, I was amazed at how awful it look and how badly the laserdisc material stood out in contrast to the SE DVDs. Awful! But I didn't feel it necessary to go to his thread and spam the words "YOU GOT OWNED!!" in every other post.
