Don't shoot the messenger...

[toby23]

I have removed most of my files today from the server after receiving some nasty comments..

Criticism is welcome if it helps to make my work better but rude comments are not.

Please understand that a lot of time goes into my work and it's all provided for free.

That's odd. I've got a couple of your mods and I love them. Your taxiway's and Mustang's dirt+road's are great.

[Sel94]

That's not good, your work is appreciated by a lot of people.

 

Challenge them to a battle to the death in DCS A-10 and show them who the better modder is!

User files, tag cloud on the lower right part of the page. I've seen toby's nickname there in very large font. Just a thought...

[Pilotasso]

Never understood why this community is over hostile about various projects. I know how you feel. I gave up myself a couple years ago when I was doing my own.

[HiJack]

Gamers is always big mouths. Sorry for your decission to remove your files toby :(

[Bucic]

I admit I find your decision rather unnecessary. It's forums, internet. You should develop a thicker skin, ignore them and carry on. No brainer.

[BrumTx]

We always appreciate good work Toby, please continur with your mods

[Snoopy]

Toby I understand completely... there have been MANY times on here what I like to call "desk jockey's" who have NEVER touched a live A-10 before, who don't have access to A-10 Tech Orders, and they closed they have ever gotten to an US Air Force Base is looking at it on Google earth tell me I'm wrong for this or that when I have actual knowledge of systems, have operated the systems, and have access to all A-10C Tech Orders. Even the items I've put into the handbook and guides, which I used REAL A-10 Weapons School training documents people want to tell me it's wrong. People, REAL pilots train using 99.9% of what I put together all I did was remove what was FOUO or Classified and removed what didn't translate to the sim (like hand signals). My checklists, people tell me they're wrong because in the sim this or that....guess what, again if you could ever get your hands on a C-1CL you would see that too is 99.9% exactly like the real deal. Oh well, let me get off my soap box :D

 

I pulled items before but after thinking about it more I figured why punish the 98% who appreciate what I've put out there for the community just because 2% of the community thinks they know it all or whatever.

 

Of course it's your choice but I appreciate all you've done and hope you decide to release everything (and future items) again eventually!

Toby don't let a couple of stupid comments discourage you. There are a lot of immature people around these forums who have nothing better to do than nit pick. As a skinner I really know what great lengths you've gone through with creating your work and how time consuming it is. Please do not deprive the community who appreciate your great work at the expense of of a couple bozos.

@toby:

 

The user files section of the website are subject to the same forum policies and procedures as the forum and as a consequence any adverse/rude comments are subject to the relevant rules that govern member conduct.

 

Rest assured that any transgressions shall be dealt with as the circumstances of each particular case dictate and the transgressor subject to the relevant administrative action - All you need to do is bring it to our attention, preferably via PM.

 

Echoing the above sentiments, would be good if you reconsider your decision, reupload the files and draw the Mod staff's attention to any comments that need, well let's just say 'an attitude adjustment' - I'll be more than happy to oblige.

[Mustang]

Hey Toby, like others have said on here 99% of guys apprieciate your efforts, don't let the 1% of ***holes get to you, that way they've won - don't give them the satisfaction ;)

[Migo]

Yea you have done a great job Toby :)

[toby23]

Combined dirty glass and shkval uploaded.

Both have been updated today with small changes.

Ta mate.

[Bucic]

Once I provided feedback on one of the mods, M-ed the critical remarks (technical ones) and after reading the response I was like

So it works both ways :D

[speckfire]

Thank you for reconsidering Toby :)

[RobC]

Good lesson in "why its important to post positive feedback" I guess. In the meantime I hope that people like Paul and Toby realize that there is a mostly silent 99% that enjoys the mods/info they provide, and the very visibly 1% that they might have problems with is really a tiny minority.

 

Consider this a "thanks" to both of you and all the other community members out there for the mods/docs you provide that myself and others use ;)

No thanks required...if I let the 1 or 2% bother me I wouldn't have the thread will all the guides/OIs I've developed still :D

[aaron886]

What a bummer, sorry about the trolls. Ignore em, Toby.

[rattler]

Toby:

 

We have those few people here and unfortunately they will always be here so just think of the 98% that really appreciate what you are doing and forget the rest.:thumbup: I know sometimes it gets hard to do but 98% and maybe a slight bit more, appreciate your efforts and applaud you for your contributions. Cheers.:thumbup:

[aaron886]

Well not every mod deserves congratulations, I suppose, but I'm really not sure how you can fault work like this.

It is very strange that a person would try and discourage someone from trying to get clear ground textures, solid buildings, and no pop up in Black Shark. Must be one of the LOMAC only guys; or maybe it has something to do with your screen name.

I know i'm late for the bus as most of these comments are a bit old but i just wanted to say thanks.

 

I for one use a lot of your mods and the mods of a few others and i don't give enough praise to you (and Mustang, and Ranger79.......list goes on) for the incredible effort that you put into making this sim more than it already is (thanks to ED also). I think the community that comes with this sim is the best i have ever belonged to and i was shocked to hear that some people have been poopooing your work. Just rest assured that 99% of the people on here appreciate all the hard work that you modders put in.

 

Many many thanks :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
