I did the work as a paid employee of Taldren (for the greatest
part) and therefore it is Taldren that deserves the credit for the
fixes on OP. I was part of a team (and pround to be so), and their
work on paying projects enabled me to work part-time on SFC,
in addition to my assign work on B9. I guess I got suckered in
by the limelight and let it go to my head. I apologize for this.
Another thing, I am not SFC. If I go away tommorow, there will still
be SFC to play, thanks to Taldren. Zach and Ken continue to work
on the SFC3 server and God willing will finish their work soon so
we can get an official patch from Activision.
I don't plan on going anywhere soon, so you'll still have Dave to
kick around for awhile longer.
Thanks,
Dave

3dot14, aaron_j_l, AdmiralFrey_XC, Ancient, Bloodfury, Bossman, Chris Jones, crimnick, CptCastrin,
Captain KoraH, FireSoul, mbday, NannerSlug, NuclearWessels, Pestalence, Reptor7,
RazalYllib, RogueJedi_XC, Ryker, Scrag, Strafer, TalonClaw, TheJudge, The Pelican,

I have been meaning to tip-toe an e-mail to KoraH, but wanted to give him some space ... Have you been in contact with him recently?
I got a long e-mail from him just after he pulled the plug on his server and left us all, so I was giving him time for some reflection before trying again ...
Any chance CaptainKoraH could be persuaded to revisit us? Perhaps an e-mail or phone call from you might help?
I miss his work ... and input.
I'm not trying to revive past hurts and issues here, but maybe it's time we all buried our hatchets and work toward the long-term good of the rapidly shrinking community.
Any help from you would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I hold no animosity towards him, he was a great
asset to the community who went balastic over a little
criticisim for another member (why does this sound
familar to me). I am not the forum Admin any more but
I would have no problem with his return (I was AFK for
the whole incident so am not as aware as Ann, she may
have a perfectly sound reason to be against it, I don't know
how she feels on the matter at all).
Thanks,
Dave
Post by: WaterTiger on December 11, 2003, 02:26:58 pm
Just e-mail the man. See what he says. He respects you greatly.
scott2978@yahoo.com
I will also make an attempt today, as he and I developed a good relationship after 6 campaigns. It wasn't easy, but we made it through and learned how to deal with eachother -- both being the stubborn grunts that we are ...
Just try, sir. All we can ask.

Korah has not expressed an interest, to me, in coming back. I know that his input is missed.

I know this may be "extending" the rules a bit, but his knowledge, commitment and dedication shown to this community -- despite his seemingly irrational explosion -- might pay off for all of us.
Just a thought. I know you have his #, and maybe you can give him a jingle or send him an e-mail.

It was satisfaction personified to assist in some measure with this monstrosity that is OP.
I have enjoyed ever minute, and would do it all over again.
BTW I found a non critical bug.
Battle Station had listed Speed 1.$
Got a screen shot as well, any one else seen this?

WT,
I can't speak for Ann, but I think that if korah wishes ot be a part of the community then he'll make that known to the appropriate persons. Otherwise I think that his continued silence should be read as his lack of interest, not ours.

Perhaps, or maybe he was just burned out, Jerry, and needed a rest and some time with his new bride.
Maybe KoraH would want a hand extended his way ... just a thought.
I'll drop this now, but I tell you his absence leaves a hole in this community that needs to be filled.

But seriously, I won't call or email Korah. People grow and change and sometimes that change is preceded with a big bang, sometimes the old just fades away. This was a big bang but it might be just what needed to happen in Korah's life. He is a big boy. I think it would do him a disservice to assume after all of his protests about being done with this community time and time again to thwart his success by telling him that he really doesn't know what is best for his life.
