Their public servers are not the point. They helped to keep the development side of FF alive/running smoothly for years. That deserves gratitude no matter what.

The servers are the point though. Even though they did some good with regards to the development side of FF, some people feel the bad they did far outweighed the good and that bad had a lot to do with how they run their servers.

They gave hosting to FF for many years,while their public server rules were a bit on the side of 'really?', they still get a thank you from me. They have spent a good amount of money helping out.

It's not just servers. Scuzzy did a lot with regards to linking the dev and beta forums to the SVN, integrating the feedback/bugtrack system for beta users, scripted stuff for better remote operability of the beta server and so on and so forth. So, regardless of whatever else happened, OT definitely deserve a mention and a "thank you" in an anniversay thread.

Plus, it's not about who could have helped. It's about who did. Scuzzy and O-T did. And I for one appreciate it.

If a serial killer helped you while murdering other innocent people, would you still be grateful?

Cant have a single conversation that simply mentions OT without people grabbing the torches and pitchforks...

Indeed. A very controversial topic, I suppose, because the entity of OT can be seen as good in some respects and bad in others, and thus -- being a two-sided coin -- it can sometimes be hard to see both sides at once.

And you would think that in a topic such as this, people would just be respectful enough to not get things started?

Hai bliss! bliss_2fort still gets played occasionally!
To sum up the situation, no OT would've meant no site/beta hosting/bandwidth for years, or at least a struggle to find support. Yet having the most active pub server run by creepy authoritarian nut-jobs has undoubtedly put off many a new player, effectively negating large amounts of effort by the community and dev team to attract said newbies. In short, you lose no matter what you do. I feel like that has been the case way too often in the FF community. |
