Yup. openArena forums the guys are D!ck$. mention that you use ioquake3, you get verbally abused then kicked and banned. the guys are D!ck$ I was nothing but considerate and polite. WTF? These guys missed the point of open souce software and most importantly freedom. I would just like to say a thank you to idSoftware (for the original code) and the programmers of ioquake3 for this awesome and stable game engine. when it comes time for server costs fundraising I'll be happy to donate. peace out. “Personal vendetta?”

It's been sucking so much lately, many things are getting deleted. This isn't the same Wikipedia I been using back then. Wikipedia has gone the GNOME way lately with the “delete everything” mindset.

The hoops they made me jump through to prove that media I submitted was my own - well actually, first they deleted it without warning (as happened the ioquake3 page), and then only when I queried it did I get a full explanation why. 3 to 4 days in the end to get my page to stay put as I intended it! This is what happens when you give admin powers to someone who is probably only 14 years old and has nothing better to be doing with his time :( After all that, anyone can then come along later and edit the content! Not worth it, imoa...... I had my first experience with creating a page on Wikipedia recently, and I can say to you now, “never again”.
