I'm not sure about my stance on the entire Gserver v1.39 deal.
I don't think Mafukie should've done it. It was wrong for him to do that without permission from Stefan or unixmad. Stefan's put many thousands of hours of work into his game, and he deserves to have it protected, so, yes, I do believe he should be punished accordingly. He has been banned.
On another note, Stefan and unixmad really need to have more confidence in their game for it to succeed. If they are afraid of this one thing rendering them bankrupt, then this should tell you folks something about the current state of the game.
Stefan and unixmad need to do the behind the scenes stuff like programming, finances and leave the front stuff to a few adults who have the capacity to deal with the public and can act professionally on Stefan's and unixmad's behalf.
Stefan and unixmad are trying to do both back and front stuff, and its wearing them down and making their attentions unfocused, and its making this game unsuccessful.
I have heaps of ideas, but, unixmad seems to hate me now.
