« on: March 20, 2005, 04:45:24 PM »
The forum, these forums, were located at op.xfir.net
From 20th March 2005, aprox 22:40pm GMT they are now at forum.outpostuniverse.net

xfir has removed our hosting for the websites and we would like to move them all to this nice new site.

We hope you enjoy, and our main aim is to not have xfir in control, but the community.

xfir did not give us this forum database, which is very unkind of him, as we would of liked to keep all the posts, but he dosent care. But as you can see we do have the database, thanks to op2hacker.

All I can say is: Yay!

It's a good feeling to have the forums in our control. xfir really didn't seem a part of OPU and didn't help us out too much.

He forbidded us from creating new sections which would be beneficial to the OPU, and forbidded us from doing almost anything.

Not to mention he is a bad webmaster. (If his site was secure I shouldn't have been able to copy the DB and forums). :P

well, anyway, Welcome back all, and hopefully we can get on with a new era of OP2.

(Note to people who had OPU related sites under xfir.net: PM me and I'll create accounts for you off of this new site).
Update your links. op.xfir.net is no more.

nice log
here is mine from that day;
xfirlog.txt
Howevea Joe it actauly started weeks ago, but the falling out with xfir started months ago.
well we disagreed on stuff and didnt like his control. so we moved it, then he took down all op2 sites and forum
its not xfir's fault, hes not a bad guy, we just wanted control which he wouldnt give.

and thanks a lot to xfir for linking us from from old url to new  :D

I don't want to be seen as a hero or anything. This wasn't staged, we did this because we had to.

I saw a lot of stuff as the only other admin on the boards that most people didn't see. It was not very thrilling to say the least.

In IRC xfir joked about taking down the forums / site and did it as a prank once. This shouldn't be happening, it pissed off a lot of people who witnessed it.
He has become disconnected from the community totally, so I don't think he really has the right to start saying that we can't create (insert whatever here) when he doesn't even take part.
He was also too easy to offend. If someone offended him with something simple he blew his top and threatened to delete sites or whatnot.

But in any case, it's over. The community has control now and we can all do what we want here, instead of one person dictating how the forums need to be run.

makes me think his roomate got control over his computer (I know, I'm being a wishful thinker, but that doesn't sound like xfir to me.  After all, if he didn't make OUF in the first place, we'd be stuck on suddenlaunch, and that system flat out sucked)

Like I said before, a lot of it wasn't visible except to the highest-level people. Most people do agree with our decision to move here, because they have viewed xfir as a threat.

If you don't believe me, come on IRC and ask around.

Ooookay seems like I missed something.
Reading the logs I see xfir was really acting... weird. I agree you guys at every point except where you said OP2 will keep them here. Sadly, games like Half-Life 2, Unreal, Quake, etc, etc, WoW, are taking away people from OP2.

What do mean The Community has control? I think u mean that u have control now, not Xfir. If the community has control, then what ever desicions u make have to go throug every1 in the community for them to take affect.

Unles u are the community.

So how does it work now?

Yeh, will everyone "vote" on every change made now? Like a OPU Democracy? If that is the csae, then how long before that Democracy is corrupted, and we are put in an even worse position. Plus, I think that you should have ASKED everyone first. It sounds to me that we aren't a community unless we all wanted to move.

I  do not agree 100% with the decision that was made. I think that as a community we should have decided on this. Also, I think that xfir should be brought back into the loop and allow himself to make a decision for himself. I know this is bothering him and the reason he has a high temper because he has extremely high blood pressure (which not too many people knew). Thats why he dosen't play op2 alot.... If any of you guys had taken the time to actually have a group convo about this we could probably have set up a vote.. And that would have been that.


BTW....favorite line from the log:

(@OPU|Leviathan) MoogleKupoHaX were all for ur ideas and input but not now..

Well then I missed that poll then. Isn't the Community's decision based on majority rules?  And how the heck is this an improvement. It looks like we're fighting among ourselves for power.  That in no way is an improvement.  (thumbsdown)
