I had read your post about stopping the updates, you will really do this?  . I Really like your mod, as much other people do. Your work is amazing, much creative, but this will end right now?  I really wish you good luck in your work ( Smod: Outbreak ) and in other modds that you do. And thanks for been sharing this mod so far with the community. |

wow, what a nice post, thanks for the kind words. Kep my friend I coulnd't stop doing this if I tried, it's safe to say its an addiction of mine I cannot, or will not quit any time soon. But I do believe its not meant to be under the spotlight, moddb gave me more views and downloads than some mods with entire teams get, while it felt good for self accomplishment, I also felt as if I was taking from everyone else, so here will be the only home for outbreak, here will be the only downloads and updates for it, as well as information on its development.
By the way, thanks for signing up! Welcome!

I totally respect you for stopping moddb-"cooperation" because of the one bad incidence, that's the sort of determination I admire. But also, it sucks because the little prick got what he wanted. I just hope all the potentially interested people can find this awesome mod.
Don't feel bad about getting all the publicity and views on moddb, you deserve them over so many people developing worthless mods that probablly never see the daylight.

thanks a lot you guys. and to add to what our friend shadow said...that particular incident served as something else to me, a preview of what is to come the more this thing gets popular. It was at a minor level, so many may think ...uh whatever his name was is the reason it "died". what i see is a low level, low intelligence individual seeking some sort of attention, what I don't want to face, is a higher level, smart, motivated & determined individuals (by then it will be multiple ones..) cause these debates, misinforming sabotage attempts, that will obviously come home to us over here after the other sites get it under control. While at the beginning, it'll be easy to deflect and censor these people, after some time, it will become such an annoyance, that I simply wont want to deal with it. Not to mention this will cause what you see on moddb, times 20, on a whole bunch of sights, making the very mention of outbreak an issue others wont want to deal with either. Kind of like "fake factory sucks" or "gmod sucks", cant think of too many examples, but im sure they're out there. Shit man, I got so much exposure and people world-wide contacting me, I never expected that at all.
I never expected to be in the top 5 slots there nearly the entire time it was getting discovered. After a while it felt weird. As if I should of waited, it wasn't complete, I was just one guy, these people don't know that I'm just learning & have barely made over 10-11 months over my belt. Shit, this is going to be a train-wreck. Then, the night that guy said those things. I got to thinking...look at how ugly certain human character traits can be, particularly jealousy and ungratefulness.
So lost in my mind, I messaged a good friend of mine, showed him the links, and said "what have i done, how could I do this to SMOD/Author". I told him I was going to nuke the entire thing, and try to make it as if it never existed. This friend, much younger than me, but with the mind of a grown samurai, told me running away and washing my hands clean of this wouldn't make it go away, and wouldn't make it better, as he had been in the exact same situation, i could tell from how he told me. Hopefully it wasn't that bad for him. Anyway, so I decided I'll go half way my way, half way the right way. Take it off moddb, after I write an apology to the "fans" for exposing them to something I cant share, and to keep this message board going, for the ones who have this mod their main game now.
Thanks for signing up shadow, great to have you here
