Statement by me:

I consider it rude of you to insult the filefront membership disregarding as petty. That we would disallow a mod or it's team on that bases. Personally I hold the deepest respect for the achievements of the fleetops team, and while I myself have been critical of their decision not to share they're work like nearly ever other mod team, it is still their choice. Personally I won't want the fleetops models anyways, there is a certain style of their textures which fits with all the other fleetops graphics but not with most other models around.

Statement by Joelteon7:

Apologies for having to send this message via Ryan. My log-in isn't working properly on here and this is the quickest solution.

Firstly, we're not above the rules. We merely follow them. Apparently some of you are ignorant about what the content of the rules are and that FileFront is a business, not a comradare for modders to get to primarily. Do I endavour, along with the rest of the Armada Files team to make it more of the latter rather than the former? Yup, as much as humanly possible. Sometimes, the former takes perrogative and there is nothing we can do. So, don't be naiive to think we're 'jealous' or 'upset' for some obscure reason as to get rid of FO from the site. You might be shocked to know that half of the staff actually like the mod and played it frequently when it was removed (and still do). I had a fair vote to remove the mod and it went 2-1. If you're so naiive to think we do not try and cover every single corner, then fine, be annoyed with us and me, but note we will ignore your words.

Secondly, my frustration at the blatant slander on here is astonishing. The first post claims we 'relented' to the pressure. No, we reviewed the situation and found it had no liability at stake, but FO PR3 was not. Hence it still being off. If you paid attention to the article I put up detailing the situation, you might have understood it rather than picking words out that you wanted to accept. However, to come on here and be called 'jealous'? This actually pathetic attempt to ruin the site's name, which I hold personally is not founded in any form of evidence and you have NO right to go around slagging off me, the team and the site. Your ignorance is ridiculous.

To those who have bothered to read all that has been said and welcome it with optimism, thank you. The above is clearly not directed at you, merely the selfish attitudes of those who seem intent on causing chaos where chaos is not merited. Perhaps those who are at fault will actually bother to read this and acknowledge...perhaps we'll get an apology, but I'm ever an optimist.

Thank you.

the guys over at armada2files are just doing their job. yes, it sucked that the files were banned from armada2files.com but its over now. the next version of fleet operations will use the same technique as the current patch project and then should also be available on filefront again.
