Balbo, let me make this clear to you, because you don't know what your talking about. For the last few years FSPlanet has been around, Ferdy has taken files from everyone without permission, i'm sure I could point out hundreds of them. But that would be pointless as I'd be wasting me time. Its time to put a stop to him once and for all. It IS illegal to steal files when ignoring copyrights. Your remark about us being 15 years old, you are dead wrong, most of us here are grown adults, you seem to have it out for people, so grow up. This topic has been stiring up for a VERY long time now, and its just now coming into its true form, we are fed up with him, and now we are taking action. If you don't like it, then just don't read this topic. 

[quote author=balbo  link=1047051703/60#60 date=1047224659]I'm not ferdy friend - infacts I do not know ferdy at all. You got fix on your ideas - fine! I've never see any cd produced by ferdy!!  where is it??   have you got any??  and where it is sold??  and how much it cost??

sorry - you are not convince me - ! and also all this for just a panel - produced with sources other than yours software - uhhhh!!  you can convince those 15 years old who come here and read your messages - - but with grow up man - you need to come out with some more convincing argument - and show that you are meaning business - and not just stearup - young simmers against somebody  - - to me you are just an attention seeker and a sad man - which will never get to the botton of the story - with all respect.

I said in an earlier message that I respect the opinions of others whether I agree with them or not.

Pity you don't do the same.

1) Did anyone say you were Ferdy's friend? The comment made referred to your insulting comments and their similarity to those of Mr Serena.


2) I'm not trying to "convince" you of anything. Frankly, it's of no importance to me whether you believe what's being said here or not. The object of my original messges that started this thread was information - not an attempt to persuade anyone of anything. If you choose not to believe the content of this thread and the other 2 associated with it, that's your privilidge.

3) Read the thread properly - I didn't say Ferdy sold anything. Mondalori.com do the selling. There are several hundred W.H.Smith stores in the UK selling Audio CDs by Led Zeppelin. I doubt you've seen those either - you not "having seen" a CD is hardly a convincing argument that it doesn't exist.

4) "all this for just a panel" - it's not about "just a panel". Again - read the thread properly. It's about the unscrupulous, unlicenced actions of an individual who, because of his history of piracy, can't persuade enough people to upload to his site legitimately, so has to resort to uploading the files himself - contrary to licence.

5) The people who's work my panel was based on were all properly credited - what's your point?

6) "these 15 year olds" - This is the point where I've had enough of being politically correct and respecting anything you have to say. YOU are the only one behaving like a juvenile around here.

7) "show that you are meaning business" - believe me, I mean business alright. All in hand..

8) "to me you are just an attention seeker and a sad man" - to me you are just a pompous, arrogant, ill-informed idiot. As stated earlier, we're all entitled to our opinions sir. :)

9) "which will never get to the botton of the story" - Watch me.

10) "with all respect" - What respect? You haven't shown any in your last few threads. You've called the members of this forum a bunch of kids, said the site is "rubbish", defamed the webmaster (and by implication his moderators)  and personally insulted me.

If that's your definition of "respect", you need to look it up in your Spanish-English dictionary.

This is just another salvo in a long running battle between Flight Sim developers and FSPlanet.  It is not about "just a panel", but is about thousands of freeware products, from hundreds of developers, that have been poached without permission by that web site. It is all about developer rights to chose the method of distribution of material we spend so much effort creating.

Last year Avsim had to block the IP address of FSPlanet and take other measures to prevent them from sucking away bandwidth poaching a hundred files a day from Avsim.

As to "stearup - young simmers against somebody", generating public awareness about this issue and the acts of piracy of that particular webmaster, is a worthwhile effort.  Fince Ferdy has been proven over and over again to have nothing but contempt for developers, it wouldn't surprise me if he has equal contempt for his site users and does dispicable things like selling his members list to spammers or allowing spyware to be installed from his site.  Users should be aware of what kind of person they are dealing with when they log onto that site.

And as always, balbo, if you don't like the content of a thread or you don't understand the subject matter, just don't read it.

Guys, please try to keep this constructive ,that includes you Balbo, as we do NOT tollerate personal criticisms here!

Thank You
Ozzy

Ozzy - very sorry. My fault. I got a little "agitated".

I'll confine my contributions to this and the other associated threads to relevant information.

Hagar - I couldn't agree more with your comments regarding Lee Swordy.

For anyone that doesn't know, he created ttools - the Mother and Father of all A.I. aircraft modification programs.

My hat is off to you.

What if we inundate him with the shoddiest of addon's we can find. Ok, its a technicality, but it is legal, because were just uploading stuff that the site was made for. We could even fire up gmax, then send him flying boxes, spheres and even teapots.

LOL - well I've never heard of a gerund, but in the U.K. it would be an adverb (I think) come to think of it.

Anyway - as Ozzy said, on to more constructive conversation, but thanks .
