Clap! Clap! Clap! You did that very well Lowell! First you attack Jancsika, (you better get reading the forum better, there are a number of references to going to Bobby's Rails for help) then you attack with 'They left pouting', which, only one left, Snoopy55. Didn't you go and pull all references to your maps like a little tyke on a playground with his toys?
The idea of SAMs and their basic structure was devised in October of 2007 by Snoopy55 and Tijer (who you got kicked off this forum, and you have been trying to get others to agree with you to have others kicked off also) and the idea posted on November 18th of 2007.

You first came up with your idea for CIC's on March 28 of 2008
http://www.hookedgamers.com/forums/view ... 308#p27308 And even then you stuck it on Snoopy55's thread, an act, if the tables were turned, you would have blasted off at the mouth about. OH ya! You did!!!
http://www.hookedgamers.com/forums/view ... 826#p32826 And all he posted was a small map to show the guy how it should look with your map loaded. And...IT WORKED!!! The guy was able to load your map and get it working! But you expected everybody to just ignore the guy till you got around to helping him......
And you made the idea of stand alone maps sound like it was COMPLETELY you idea, even after you condemned it only a few posts prior to that (which you edited, but a quote was done here -

It came about when Snoopy55 brought up the fact that the forum was in need of a lot of house cleaning and re-arranging You admittedly posted your CIC before it was fully working just to get there first, AFTER you condemned even the idea of a stand alone map on December 30, 2007. According to snoopy55, you and he went thru E-mail with him giving you instructions. And you failed to follow the most important one,
No other maps in the UserMaps folder
And Bobby's Rails was conceived by Bobby alone in early 2008, and no one else was aware of it until he made notice of it in October of 2008. This forum was poorly cared for because you were the main instigator in getting Snoopy55 kicked off as Moderator. You wanted him off completely, but Falconer saw that he was VERY much needed here. But your stuck up-better than anyone attitude caused him to go somewhere where he could get something done. And he has done a lot over on Bobby's Rails
http://eric.bkbobby.com/ And, they were not 'mad' at you for taking their title away, Their title for their maps is SAM, not CIC, which you posted that Karsten thought up.
You 'thought nothing of it'? You started attacking Snoopy55 when he pointed out that there was no real difference between theirs and yours. And, as usual when certain posts are mentioned, you edited the post where you stated that SAMs are for noobs and CIC are for experts. (go ahead an deny it, I sure others remember it)
As to the ousting on bobby's site, only one person has left, and he demanded to be removed (they have records of those posts). And nowhere are there any rules that say how a person has to make maps and such. How would you know? You haven't been there!
Must have been one heck of a stroke for it to take 3 months to recover. My brother has had 4 in his lifetime, and it only took a few days to recover from each one.
If your maps belong here at Hooked Gamers, why have they never been posted here? And why are they on other forums? You made them public access, the game and it's contents belong to Firaxis/2K, so they are up for grabs! Your name was never removed from them. As to being outdated, a few days after someone downloads them from your site they are outdated as you seem to keep changing these 'finished' maps that are going to get new stuff added. Finish them as they are and get on to all these many other maps you are working on and those 'millions' of 3d mods you have on hand.
And after all of that attack, you have the gall to say "Let's all start working/helping with mod builders right here at Hooked Gamers and stop destroying this forum."! You stab some people in the back and then you want to shake hands with them??
And newhavenpatriot and a few others that first posted questions here are getting plenty of help on Bobby's Rails, and their maps are coming along just fine, thank-you!
