Who stole the mailbox idea?

PIRAT · #1 09-30-2002, 03:18 AM

Stefan?

or

The guys from Gaia?

---
Both cant have had the same idea.
maybe both mail box systems are a bit different but its still the same idea and its very strange that gaia comes up with a mail-box system and graal2002 gets one at almost the same time.
So who is the bad Thief?

zell12 · #2 09-30-2002, 03:37 AM

No point in saying either did since the mail box idea was not told to the public by Graal2002.

Ghost Pirate · #3 09-30-2002, 03:55 AM

ummm they stole the idea for mailbox from THE USA!

Come on mailboxes isn't anything new. Use your brain once in awhile ok?

Graal2001_NAT · #4 09-30-2002, 04:05 AM

whats 2k2s mailbox system like o_O (i havent played 2k2 since my Python523 account ran out)

Lyndzey · #5 09-30-2002, 04:15 AM

Lycia had an idea like this over a year ago.

I think it's great, but I need a pen

Ya Stefan stole the idea from me, lol..
but I reeeeeeally dont care = P I loved that..
^_^ He has a right position and got my idea X D
I think its great.. He also said thanks for Gaia, and alot of other things, so I really liked when I saw.
Probably in some month or something, the other servers will be stealling my Scrool Bar system, check box, and other things I made..
So I loved to see that he liked my idea ^_^
I think Stefan also got the letter idea for houses from me lol.. But I dont care, please dont disturb him or something I give my permission
cya

you cant really claim ownership when you got the idea for the scroll bar from windows

Neonight · #9 09-30-2002, 06:39 AM

Eh?

Jeff worked on a mailbox idea for 2k1, which is still up on there, but it's been on Providence for the past 5 months or so. Giltwist made it, I believe.

zell12 · #10 09-30-2002, 06:56 AM

MAIL BOXES ETC... OWNS YOU ALL, K THX BAI.

I would tell you to stop spamming and to go jump off of a very high cliff, but then I'd be banned, so I won't say that.

Ghost Pirate · #12 09-30-2002, 07:11 AM

Hi Mailboxes has been around for quite some time its not a new idea at all

cloudstrifevii · #13 09-30-2002, 07:13 AM

Why must a server "steal" an idea from another? Thats like one server having swords then another gets swords so wtf?

Admins · #14 09-30-2002, 08:16 AM

To be true, I didn't know that any playerworld had mailboxes or letters. I haven't seen it on Gaia, have only played a few minutes on it. So I am sorry if someone thinks I 'stole' something.
Actually the mailboxes are in the mudlib for more than 10 years, I thought its a good thing to add it to Graal now since its good for role-playing and the new house building thing, where every house owner should have his own mail box.

hey graal2001 newbie, you dont see the point. doesnt matter if its a new idea or not. its very strange that gaia comes up with a mail-box system and graal2002 gets one at almost the same time.
so why not before?

Loriel · #16 09-30-2002, 08:12 PM

Pirat, you are a ubercritical idiot. A mailbox is a concept that has been in use by humans for hundreds of years

I do not think that you know how long mail boxes were in developement on Graal2001, Graal2002 and Gaia. As Stefan said, the mailboxes were in the mudlib, and the idea came up for Graal2001 even before that. So it is pretty obvious that not one person has invented the idea of Graalian mailbox while all others have stolen it.

Graal2001_Developer1 · #17 09-30-2002, 08:34 PM

and btw is the gaia-mailboy something like an e-mailprog while 2k2's seems like a box you can fill any sort of stuff in...

Loriel · #18 09-30-2002, 08:39 PM

... which shows that Pirat would not have posted this if he had had any idea what he was talking about.

Cuff em boys.

AlexH · #21 09-30-2002, 09:11 PM

No-one.
Mail boxes have been around for years.
Much longer than any of us here have been alive.

jeff335 · #22 09-30-2002, 09:17 PM

If any server's going to get the title of the first to have its own internal email service, I'd say that honor would have to go to newmain, who released it first...a skeletal version about five months ago like Neonight said, and just two or three days ago I released a full-duplex version that allows both transmisssion and reception for free.

it doesnt matter how long it was in developement. you dont get my point. if it was sooooo long in developement, why did it come up the same time that gaia came up with it?

AlexH · #25 10-01-2002, 12:56 AM

YOu can't steal ideas.
Also the mailbox system was on 2k1 before Gaia was even released.
Infact lots of things that are on 2k1 have been transfered to 2k2 in one way or another.

Why because you think someone stole the mailbox idea.
If you want to be correct they both stole it.
Not from each other though, from real life.

Er1c2 · #31 10-01-2002, 05:59 AM

I made a mail (text message) system on Keldron when playerworlds first came out, so I guess you stole the idea from me

To bad this isn't my first account. and I've been playing graal for a bit longer than 2 years, just because you don't notice me means I don't exsist.

Juron Pilo · #34 10-02-2002, 09:22 AM

the mailbox idea came from... Zelda.... cuz thats where the original mailbox img came from... settled

Chronos · #35 10-02-2002, 10:22 AM

To be completely honest, and since none of you ****s could possibly remember this, I had a mail-system all written out etc. many years ago for Peach. Among with other ideas, such as on-screen-text display (All normal text in the game just flooded on one line and went over the screen, IE: one large sentence would span througout the entire level, until i got it changed)

better yet the pony express... but then that leads down a line of thought all the way back to the first written word=P

Graal2001_Developer1 · #40 10-05-2002, 05:22 PM

I think I'm going to get a copyright on the word mailbox and accuse everyone who has done one for graal -_- (also the post and everybody and um yes you know what I mean)
