Richardg We Did Nothing Wrong

I am the maintainer of a pack called Big Dig hosted through the technic platform. We have ALWAYS gotten modder permissions and NEVER included a mod against a modder's wishes. We have a full-filled-out permissions page, a mod list with a link and credit for industrial craft. There is NO reason to DRM my modpack! If this keeps up, I'm just going to forget about permissions because it's a big hassle and modders still come after you just because they hate all modpacks! I've kept Thaumcraft 3 out of my modpack and have done a TON of support helping users install it manually because you guys said that was the way to stay out of trouble but now you KEEP GIVING ME TROUBLE ANYWAY so maybe I'll just put it back in.

Thanks for nothing jerks.

Randomly?! Well it's good to know that the Plus+ Pack is getting a better user experience than my players, because they had the foresight to install anti-DRM mods and I didn't think I'd need them!

This is getting nuts, did RichardG actually block any modpacks that *don't* credit IC2 properly?

Hi, yes, he targets several modpacks that don't properly credit IC2. But those guys have a coremod that removes the DRM so they aren't actually affected. Someone pointed me to the blacklist and it doesn't have Big Dig on there, so it sounds like what SpwnX is saying, that his DRM just blocks random technic packs, is what is going on. Some of my players can use IC2 and some cannot. I'd really appreciate it if the DRM was removed until this is fixed, especially since none of the targeted modpacks are actually affected anyway.

EDIT: Here is the blacklist - removed

Someone told me that what's probably going on is, if one of my users has one of the blacklisted packs installed, it will stop them from playing any technic packs while the pack is installed. That's stupid, I don't want to have to install anti-DRM to get this fixed, can't someone just turn the DRM off?/

Considering that it is, in fact, a Goon Modpack, it only validates the point many have made...

Rules, right?

What rules? Are posting on the something awful forums against the rules? Big Dig has permissions for its mods- you can verify that by visiting the page. In addition, I give proper credit and link to IC2. Are you saying that I'm not allowed to have permissions because of what internet forums I use?!

If you can link where you are citing IC2 as per the VERY SIMPLE distribution policy, then I'm sure that issue can be resolved...

Goons are notorious for not following rules because 'they can'. I was merely pointing that out. If you are so hot and bothered by people making the association with you to Goonswarm, then why not distance yourself from them?

Or use Feed the Beast for your Modpack configurations?

Are you for real? How is it that you are capable of finding a random forum post citing me as a member of the something awful forums but you are not capable of locating the http://www.technicpack.net/modpack/details/big-dig-pack.57/ official page for the modpack we're discussing. Look at the mod list.

The problem isn't that I'm blacklisted- this has been determined upthread, I am not blacklisted. You could have discovered this by reading the thread you're chattering in. The problem is that RichardG's DRM is affecting my players DESPITE THE FACT THAT I AM NOT BLACKLISTED. And despite the fact that I have done everything modders have asked of me in assembling my pack, I am continually being caught in the crossfire of modders' endless war on technic, to the point where I am about to have to INSTALL ANTI-DRM crap developed by the permissions-hating plus team just to get the IndustrialCraft team to hold up their end of their license. Maybe you should stop trying to poison the well by talking about what forums I post on, read the thread, and start thinking of serious solutions. Because I have tried my damnedest to color inside the lines with this modpack and I am just about at the end of my rope.

If you wonder why people refuse to get permissions, it's because of people like you who make this community about factions and taking sides instead of about trying to make fun things for people to play.
