you meen a tart made out of .... ?

My first thought when Thunderclap pointed this open invitation to me was that it was an IP fishing expedition, but that type of bait and switch would really only have made sense back before they went all Fight Club and closed down all outsiders from even being able to find the handle to the front door. Now that they've gone underground, I see little value to them in harvesting IP blocks 'of the enemy' unless it's a waaaaay over-the-top effort to be able to screen out any people who learn the secret handshake and get an invite into their Stone Cutter Society.

What this seems more likely to me is a means of getting attention. They do correctly assume that members of both OT and FE get a kick out of checking their site out so that their 'invitation' was certainly going to get noticed, and we know they do love attention.  As any parent knows, a child will do anything to get attention, even if they have to act out in order to get it.

Ultimately, this thread has already given AM what he wants:

1. Attention
2. Affirmation of his belief that he is persecuted
3. Proof that OT and FE are full of nothing but A-holes who aren't worth his time and should continue to be banned from his site

Now I'm not defending his actions or history. Any reasonable person who reads through the infamous thread can clearly see a talented editor with an ambitious concept receiving literally nothing but supportive, constructive reviews, critiques, suggestions and above all, genuine interest regarding his project. Then out of the blue it turned into one of the most amazing and head-scratching melt-downs that I've ever seen on a forum. I came to the thread with no prior knowledge of the events and not knowing the history of DFE so read it with about an open a mind as you can get. It is in a word, inexplicable.

But honestly, this thread and the piling on that happens here only further reinforces the opinions of DFE about OT (and FE due to many common forum members).

Ultimately I echo Frink's sentiment that it would be wonderful for a DFE member to post here in an attempt at meaningful dialog, but we all know it would take less than five posts for someone to post something snarky, reinforcing their world-view and restoring their bunker mentality.

In the end, I think we have a greater chance of seeing peace between Israel and Palestine in our lifetimes than seeing this silliness end.

Ditto.

My first thought is he wants to drum up web traffic. He sees his meltdown over here might be the most interesting thing he's done, and rather than be a digital Lady of Shallott weaving shadow tapestries with his own sock accounts, he wants all us lemmings to go give him attention in his own sandbox.

Yeah, well I refuse to do that now. It was amusing for awhile, but it's just old and tired. 

If he wants to talk, I'll be here. Otherwise, he can just go talk to himself as normal. 

That probably depends on the age of the hard drives and/or babies involved.

Okay, found the avi version sitting on an old (and probably now diseased) external drive.  I'll update this thread when I've uploaded the edit.

New article:

http://digital-fanedits.com/articles/news/116-live-streaming-premiere-for-alien-2

Can anyone explain what this means?

The bad news is that this year's ALIEN-2 fanedit got too big for downloading.

What, is it a 1 TB file or something?  Editors have started releasing Blu-ray edits now, so....yeah.

JEDIT: Stupid text editor...

They couldn't get the second alien into the internet. It's too big.

Their facebook page has to be the saddest thing ever. They have just 1 like.

So how the hell can the edit be too big for downloading? If they're only going be streaming a DVD res video then why not release that? Or is it Anti-Matter's ego that has become too big? ;)

I almost liked it out of sympathy. Then I thought "please don't feed the animals"

There's only one of them on their website, so it makes sense there would only be one like.

I'd be famous if they actually had any traffic or members ;-)

As far as I can make out the 'forums' are a couple of pages of rants against Frink and Benja accusations that Ady is money grabbing fraud and occasional complements made to to the forum members who may be me (not owning up to anything there).

In short it's basically one person talking to me and he might be me too.

Weird.

That's the "public" forum.  They closed everything off behind high walls (invite only) except for the trash.

Yeah...
