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?

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

ummm they stole the idea for mailbox from THE USA!

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

Ya Stefan stole the idea from me, lol..

Probably in some month or something, the other servers will be stealling my Scrool Bar system, check box, and other things I made..

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

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.

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.

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?
