So lets look at something:

I is just a useless FGMEMBERS developer


Am I then? AM I?

Lets see:

Q: Why does I push work to FGMEMBERS?
A: I found it on the internet, and found all the planes there, in one place.

Q: Is I the evil hijacker from FGMEMBERS?
A: No, I'm a teenager who enjoys aviation, and coding. I found FGMEMBERS through Free Flight Free Speech, and I found that from the 727 dev topic on this very forum. I have never intentionally caused harm to anything.

Q: If I is a teenager, isn't he stupid?
A: No. Even from early age, I found myself very knowledgeable with computers and aviation. (not trying to brag)

Q: So is I really a useless, evil, FGMEMBERS hijacker, who should revert all his work and stop developing?
A: You answer that yourself.

I don't know what the point is of all this, let alone the surrounding context - but could you possibly discuss this with the corresponding people in private ?
Let's not have another fgmembers discussion here - I really don't want to get even more warnings, let alone get banned, for participating in those ...
So if someone offended you in some way, feel free to get in touch with that person.

Besides, I think you have seen that some of us have actually helped you with your wiki article, and with feedback regarding the code you've written - which would seem to suggest that people who are able to write code seem to respect your work - not sure why you would be bothered by things others say or do ...
Please don't send support requests by PM, instead post your questions on the forum so that all users can contribute and benefit

This is not an FGMEMBERS discussion, maybe this is the wrong forum, believe me, all these FGMEMBERS discussions are stupid. But I'm tired of being accused of this stuff!

I don't know who said that, but it is uncalled for! By the way, I will soon be expanding the {{User:Bugman/Infobox Aircraft}} testing template and will add the it0uchpods hangar option. I look forward to your banner and logo ;)

Besides, if someone sent you a corresponding PM, you can forward it to a moderator and let them handle it.

Neither google nor the forum search gave me any hits for the string "it0uchpods is just a useless FGMEMBERS developer" besides the one you posted.

Without such context, the whole thing is a bit meaningless.

(I do hope you're equally outraged at all the Nazi stuff happening on the other forum by the way...)

I have added the support for your hangar to the testing template:

For your 'development' and 'download' parameters, I have used the {{github url}} and {{github zip file}} templates to automatically generate the URLs based on the 'aircraft' parameter. I have added an example to the template, but you can also see it in action at:

Please also seek permission from the original authors for modifying wiki pages. In this example, the origin was the Andino hangar, which still exists. If the author wishes to keep the original article about their hangar, please talk to me on the wiki about options for creating a new wiki article. There is no problem having multiple articles.

Edward

20 years from now you guys will still be yapping about this, won't you?

And FGMembers members are the ones being accused of perpetuating this conflict.... sigh....

As best as I can tell, someone said this in passing on mumble. @itouchpods: it is fair to be upset about this. @itouchpods: the way you posted this quote here without followup or explanation implied that someone here at the forum had posted it. As far as I can tell that was never the case.

A person has only to search some keywords like "n*z*" and "dict****" to see that certain individuals on the other forum do enjoy cultivating an atmosphere of anger and contempt towards specific people and this forum. And you can see that some of the references are only a few days ago. So as long as they continue to use this language, the criticism is valid. Obviously it is only a few people that do this, but no one seems to notice over on the other forum when these things are said. I guess that's a good thing if the angry accusations over there mostly fall into a black hole?

it0uchpods I hope you are feeling fine now. I had similar problem with this community in the past because I made cars instead of planes. I was enjoying what I did (modelling, picking colors for the car :P, driving to some weird places to find out how deformed some of the terrains are haha) and I felt that Flightgear can be a good place to do these sort of things (no other simulator/game offer you a map as big as FG). However, some people disagreed (and I was fine with that) and started telling me I ruined the simulator. To be honest, if they didn't like what I did, they didn't need to click to the post or download my projects. At that time I felt quite sad and decided to stop making 3D models for FG. Now I view these things differently. If I meet these people online again, I report them without thinking it twice. I hope you can get over this and enjoy what you are doing! :P
