Sorry Rohugh, but this post does require an open forum, because while the personal issue has already been settled in private, I do really want to convey my apologies to the modding community in general.

I admit, at first I had a very different idea of what this forum would be like. I did not at all expect the reaction I got. But some of the senior members recently made some very impressive points, that had me thinking and reevaluating my position all day long. I was not aware that this kind of camaraderie existed among many of you, nor did I expect to find such a strong code of honor and support for one another. I admit, some of what I read, I found even moving.

In a nutshell, my original thinking was that it is not a big deal to use another’s work, even with good intentions, because after all, it’s just a game. But I am getting the feeling like the other side of the coin is even more valid—if a certain mod is unavailable for whatever reason, well, that is no death sentence—after all, it is just a game. And I can definitely see how the respect you have for your peers—even to the point of self-denial—is much more important and admirable than what I originally had in mind.

So, thank you to those who shared your views with me.
Underground

dont worry we all still love you :wub:

You're a cool guy Underground and I, for one, am definitely looking forward to the next version of ROM and any of your future modding efforts.

Taking the effort to make amends does a lot to restore one's credibility, Underground. Don't let this little squabble stop you from trying to convey to us your ideas. Lord knows we need more modders out there who create things other then... you know... :drool: :drool: :drool: mods for HGEC bodies and whatnot. (Every single day I see more and more HGEC "clothing" mods and it makes me just feel like this: :flame: :swear: :banghead: )

Maybe you should join Team FCOM and create more awesomeness with them - you know what they say, when you can't beat em', join em'!! :foodndrink:

Seriously, I am not kidding. Your modding efforts should continue (make ROM dependent on OOO, to begin with). All the best!! :goodjob:

Looking forward to a fixed version of ROM. Good luck!

You've acted in a very modest and admirable way in this post and your others. I salute you sir for this, and I hope you come to an agreement and re-release your good work soon in a format that sorts the disputes mentioned. :foodndrink:
