Completely deleting the first post was uncalled for, really. It ruins it for newcomers here who aren't involved in any "drama," and that causes decreased interest in your project, which hurts you. If you have problems with individual members, just use the ignore feature.

That's the kind of thing that has me mulling over locking all first posts by default. It's just bad form.

Regardless, good luck with the project.

Now that I've had time for some self reflection, all I've got to say is:

I'm glad Anti-Matter has saved the Internet. I had heard web resources were stretched to the point of collapsing, but Anti-Matter has saved us all!

In the future, I'll be sure not to comment on any projects I haven't contributed to. (Funny, I didn't see the tip jar.)

Later, C3PX. I'll miss ya!

Ooh, look! A cliff...

Seriously, it was a cryptic and abrupt thing you did, Anti-Matter. It came out of nowhere and made no sense. People got confused and frustrated. Personally, I think you should avoid a blog or anything that draws TOO MUCH attention to your project. Just ask Infodroid and Jambe Davdar.

You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

dang, I know I left that around here somewhere, guess I'll have to dig through my sarcasm pile. ;)

Anti-Matter, when folks have moved projects or discontinued them in the past, they have been much less cryptic. [JD's SW Begins & SW Reborn come to mind] I was following your thread daily as it sounded like it had much potential. But it wasn't my project, and since I had no technical skills to offer, I should not have felt like the rug was pulled away when you made your decision to move.
good luck with things, hope your project is all you want it to be.

now back to look for that humor thing...

Well Erik, since I can see you at least seem to have repented and given Anti-Matter credit where it was due to him for his rescuing of the internet, and considering that Moth3r is in jail for child neglect (see off topic forum for details), Adyway is the only one I am still disappoint in, so I think I will stick around after all. But mark my words, if more incidents like post #88 and beyond ever happen again, I WILL threaten to leave again.

Sorry but i've been otherwise occupied. After Anti-matter outed me as being a troll i was arrested for loitering under a bridge and have only just been released on bail. :)

In all seriousness i do wish you well with the project . But i do think you took things out of context with what had been said after you announced that it had been closed. i was genuinely interested in your project but as i said i was busy and actually didn't have anything to contribute at that time.

Does anyone think it's odd that someone who's been a member of this forum for
3 months would call other members who've been here for years "trolls"?

This is my first post in this thread, so I guess that makes me a troll as well. :)

I am expecting less attention to follow. If you read, you will see that I am considering a blog web space to take advantage of resources that are not available here. I'd like to see ONE person show me where my reasoning makes no sense.

I've noticed that many of you really do you struggle with reading (not directed specifically at Erik). It's almost as if you intentionally refuse to "see" words.

Just ask Infodroid and Jambe Davdar.

If I can bother you for the short version, what happened with these individuals?

Your reasoning is childish, as is your remark. What does tenure have to do with trolling?

It isn't that your reasoning makes no sense. The whole issue was that some people were interested in your project, and with your whole "moved/closed" and then the thing about knowing where to find the people that were interested and your not wanting to make the new location public knowledge except to those who contributed something, kind of felt like an "F you" to the ones who had an interest in this and felt like they were being left out of the loop. Perhaps it was misinterpreted. But you did a good deal of misinterpreting yourself, Erik said absolutely nothing other than expressing interest in knowing where to look for news on this edit in the future, and you called him and troll along with about a zillion other insults. Adywan did nothing but offer some advice and express how well this worked out for him, and you threw insults at him.

You have every right to move this, but for those people who had some interest in your project, it would have been nice to give them more information. Just because you were moving this didn't mean you needed to erase the first post. And of course you are not obligated to let anyone know, nobody said you were, they just said they think you should have. The fact that people were disappointed about what happened should have been taken as a compliment to you, the majority of edits announced on these boards people could careless about, many of them stop getting updated as the editor looses interest, and the threads simply disappear into the abyss. Any modicum of interest I may have had in this rapidly disappeared once you starting acting like such an ass to people who were being pretty nice to you. You might want to think about working on your people skills.

The reason why personal blogs have not gone over so well for fanedits in the past is that the blog is tied directly to you, you are much more in the open and much more vulnerable to the lawyer of the powers that be. Forms tend to get away with all kinds of things, but with a blog don't be surprised if you are contacted directly with a cease and desist letter. Just be sure you know what you are doing and be careful how you market this, it is after all copyright material that you have absolutely no claim of ownership to.

What does tenure have to do with trolling? Generally speaking, people who have
been contributing to this site for an extended period of time deserve more
courtesy than to be referred to as "trolls". Not to say that there aren't trolls lurking
here since the site's inception, but I guarantee you that none of those people
have posted in this thread.

In any case, it's a moot point. Since you have "closed" this thread, I expect it will
officially locked soon.

Its pretty pathetic that his thread gets so many hits now.

I think this should get more hits because of the excellent work anti-matter is doing not because of flaming. :(

sad.

Ok, thanks for responding.

Creating and chronicling a fanedit is NOT illegal. Selling or distributing a fanedit DVD is the part that will change the course of your life.

I understand your point about anonymity, but there are also generic blog spaces.

Basically, when an author announces that he is moving a project to improve or change something, it is ok to ask for elaboration--if you really feel the need for details. If you have no concern or vested interest in the project, you only expose yourself as a useless troll when you suddenly appear to join the judgment mob.

See, "bandwagon" and "witch hunt" [You know who you are]

It is NOT ok to challenge and attack the author, and Moth3r exacerbated the confusion and instigated the mob mentality that continues to this point. [HINT: THIS IS THE PHENOMENON THAT IS PORTRAYED IN THE VIDEO PARODY, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE CHALLENGED IN SOME WAY. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LEMMINGS.]

And it is arrogant for ANYONE to presume that their situation and experience applies to everyone else. That is precisely why Adywan's first comment is presumptuous. He presumes to imply that I am somehow 'wrong' to move my project because HE would never think to move his. Hello?

Begin with post #1 and star counting, taking note of the contributors before and after post #88. [You know who you are]

Some of you take issue with my ability to use concise English. For the record, I did not abandon this thread without notice or explanation. I announced that the project was moving and gave reason so that the statement would not appear rude.

For those of you without reading impairments, you can see now that the original statement was completely benign and well motivated. In retrospect, I should have added something like, "details forthcoming" because the reason I marked the thread [CLOSED] was to discourage activity during the interim.

Instead, too many "lemmings" found a new shore to visit.

Very disappointing; and shame on you, Moth3r, for locking me out of my own work.

I am not giving a matter of opinion here, I don't care if it is illegal or not, you asked what happened to Editdroid and Jambe and I told you.

Anyway, I will apologise to you because I was the first one to really attack you. If you would be prefectly honest with yourself, other than me and OBwotsky, no one said anything rude to you before this thing took off. Moth3r simply said it was bad form to delete the first post, and it is, hardly anything to get your panties in a knot over. There was no mob mentality, Erikstormtrooper is hardly the type for anything like that, the poor guy really had a genuine interest in your silly edit and you pissed on him for it. Adywan was just saying how well it worked out for him here, it was just a suggestion and a personal testimony, he wasn't saying you didn't have the right to leave, he too seemed genuinely interested in your edit, and you pissed on him for it. Give people the benefit of the doubt.

Anyway, at this point you are pretty much working at trying to insult everyone on the boards, what do you say you call it a night and stop being an ass and insulting people who don't deserve it. I know I was being an ass myself, so again, my apologies.

Good luck with your project. May you live a thousand years and your beard grow ever longer.

I also didn't know that until I started searching for some footage. And then I read somewhere that someone off-camera may have been "assisting" the lemmings to leap into the water. There may be a reference to this rumor in the wikipedia article.

This review by Spence was posted in another thread:

SpenceEdit said:

It sounded like a good idea, but it just devolves into random sequences and events without any emotional through line. His "twist" in the final scene is ridiculous and is executed very poorly. The only thing I would say I liked about it was his Jar Jar removal, which is admittedly very well done.

The edit has zero handle on the actual plot and character arcs of the movies, nor does it try to change and improve them. His structure is interesting, but he makes everything that happens in the movie almost pointless. Without Anakin's end to his story, there's just random people we don't care about doing random things. Basically he took what's wrong with the prequels and made it infinitely worse.
