   Gamedev posts you wish you'd never wrote!
  Hey all,Today I came across a thread asking for landscape texture resources and thought I''d do a search on my old posts to find a post from a while back that contained a link to a good French website containing excellent landscape textures for free.  In the process though, i undug some really old threads that I''d made and participated in, and OH MY GOD!!! I can''t believe how incredibly stupid I was when I wrote them, and that is probably a drastic understatement.  So in an effort to get the skeletons out of my closet, appologise for my idiocy, and give everyone a bit of a laugh I''ll post the links here   My only regret is that the posts were not all that long ago in the scheme of things, but I''m certainly a lot better mannered now!!Stupid post 1Stupid post 2There are probably a few more, but I''ll leave it at that!  once again I appologise to all involved, and promise I''m not quite so much of a n00b any more!!To redeem myself somewhat I''ll also post up one of my all time favourite threads that seems to get brought up in the graphics programming forum an awful lot as a good reference to texturing terrain!Good Post!!Anyone else care to share their best and worst posts?!!Cheers,Steve AKA Mephs 
  n00b!Is your team still going? ;  That''s actualy nice to see...You''ve come a long way in your time here at GameDev.. Congratulations!   Don''t Temp Fate.. ;  Hmmm.... well no the team is not still going surprisingly enough, but we did surprisingly well on the story design, that was something to be proud of at least, and Jesper T''s graphics to this day still impress me I know why I came across as I did, and it''s because I was just young and immature and full of confidence (I really meant everything I said, despite how daft some of it sounds) in a dream that was somewhat above me, but I really find it hard to believe I even wrote the posts I did because it sounds nothing like how I think now.  Anyhoo this isn''t really intended to be a "look at me" post, I''m more interested in seeing similar examples from others, it''s just intriguing to see how much people change over time! ;  You missed one more;quote:Original post by Mephs  Hmmm.... well no the team is not still going surprisingly enough, but we did surprisingly well on the story design, that was something to be proud of at least, and Jesper T''s graphics to this day still impress me I know why I came across as I did, and it''s because I was just young and immature and full of confidence (I really meant everything I said, despite how daft some of it sounds) in a dream that was somewhat above me, but I really find it hard to believe I even wrote the posts I did because it sounds nothing like how I think now.

Those were horrible posts, but at least you''re apologizing for past sins. Good job.When I write something I don''t like, often I just close the browser window before I even hit the Reply button. On a rare occasion I might submit a comment, then read more of the thread and decide I don''t like my comment, so I delete it. But, I can''t think of any existing posts of mine that I don''t like.   ~CGameProgrammer( ); -- Post screenshots of your projects. 100+ posts already in the archives. ;  ROFL! hahah I remember that, we never had a chance. ;quote:Original post by CGameProgrammer  When I write something I don''t like, often I just close the browser window before I even hit the Reply button.

Yeah, I do that too. Especially when I get pissed off with idiocy on the site, I write a flaming post and then just close the window. It''s good to vent but not come off as a total (I'',m aiming for occasional) jerk. ;  I made some pretty stupid posts on the DJGPP newsgroup back when I first started with C++. But for GameDev posts ... that''d have to be the time I linked to an image, without knowing that the site retaliated against off-site linking using *ahem*cough* ... anyone remember that one? Probably the only member ever to post you-know-what and get away with it scot free  It was an accident; I swear!

You two should get together again and write an article about starting an over ambitious project as a n00b. Your experiences would be useful to all these aspiring MMORPG freaks we get these days - because unfortunately some people just don''t understand
