I think the best solution would be, ideally, to fuse the new community into the Stepmania application itself -- similar to the way that Steam operates.

This client is actually potentially being created by people who know little to nothing about stepmania. They have their own programs they run, and it's more that stepmania is being built into this client than a feature being built into stepmania. Which is why the server would have to be completely reworked.

I'm really not having an ego, but I guess it comes across that way. As for giving Jousway a hard time, it really disappoints me when people just don't go back to where it started to find the root of the problem. My first post was post 54. Of course my next post after that was replying to Jousway's indirect reference on SMO dying, and I replied with a post that wasn't attacking him, which did come off a bit sarcastic. To be honest though, it was true.

Then Jousway and I posted for a pretty decent amount of time without having to reply to each other, because I personally don't attack anyone. I only defend myself, and it's been that way for a long time. Looking back, you'll see that post 97 was the first post to argue against my point, posted by Jousway.

This tension is probably continued from this thread.

As you can see, I posted first on post 10. It didn't take too long for Jousway to argue my post on post 12.

Are people really taking these words to heart? I don't understand why people will look at text and let it get to them. I'm human and I'll get mad too, but I get over it. It's like trolls posts, they lure people who can't control their feelings and do things irrationally.

C'mon people, look at what's happening. A block of text causes someone to attack someone else. I'm only replying and defending myself when attacked. I treat these threads like any other debate/discussion. I make my points, defend the rebuttals, and stand by my decision. It's not necessary at all, but I choose to. People really shouldn't worry what I choose to do with my time/life.

I have no ego here, and if I did I would have abused my power or tried to lead the pack a long time ago.
