I am leaving - for real now

[halogene]

Somehow I have seen this coming.

Div, I think from all the posts on this thread it is easy to realize how much your efforts have been, and are, appreciated by the Nexuiz community. So how can I put it? I think you did an awesome job and most probably will do on what you do next. From what I read on this forum, I do not only like the work you did but also the way you did it, and what it revealed from you as a person.

So a huge thank you for doing all this work for Nexuiz! It is sad to see you go, but I, too, understand and support your decision.

No, it won't freeze. Do you know any significant open source thing which froze without being resurrected in one or another way?

nvu - freeze -> resurrected as kompozer
ffdshow - freeze -> resurrected
sodipodi -> freeze -> became inkscape
xmms -> supposed freeze -> BMP -> audacious and BMPx

Thank you divverent for all the energies that you invested in Nexuiz. I am confident that a new release will bring a wave of new people attention to Nexuiz and certainly a good load of them will be respectfull , helpfull and friendly persons. I myself got into nexuiz when 2.4 was released and in my 26 years of living this is the only video game that i have stick to for more than a couple of weeks. this is mostly due to the great people like you that are part of this community, and also the fact that this game is awesome

please excuse my poor english, i am french

[vociferous]

meh

I guess everything's gonna go bad from now on (worse than it is already).

Sorry for being that pessimistic, but that's the way I feel actually. More and more of the long-established great personalities the community once had are withdrawing one or the other way. Now the king himself left. Well, I can't change. Farewell div. I always enjoyed the moments we were in contact, playing or chatting. And I'll always love you

Urmel of all the people you we're the one to nail it!, i'd like to thank div0 as well even if he did have a hand in me leaving the community, but scratch that i don't really care about it anymore. div0 you did the most awesome work here ever seen on a free game project. Period! if only some of the other projects out there could adhere to you're high standard!

PS yeah i know it's not my old account, but i sabotaged it when i left so i had to rereg

Wow, that's really terrible to hear.

divVerent your work on Nexuiz is certainly not without applause on these forums, in IRC, and evident in the fact that so many people enjoy the fruits of your labour daily. So I can't say much more than has already been said, but I do hope you see, beyond all the negativity, how many more positive aspects your work has had. Sadly, people don't say anything unless something is wrong; and opinions -- particularly on the internet -- are a dime a dozen. So it goes, then, that negativity tends to outweigh the silent majority of people who are truly thankful.

I am thankful for all you've done. And I do hope you continue to be a driving force in Nexuiz -- whether in the background or not -- in the long term. If nothing else, you've much to teach, and many are eager to learn. Good luck, though I'm positive luck will have nothing to do with it, in all your current and future endeavours.

Please come back . because of nexuiz i have learned things other than just playing . it has inspired me to go to school for for game development . i did not know what i wanted to do for a career until nexuiz . So you see divVerent , you have made a postive influence on my life in a most unusual way . Please dont leave , but do take some time away for a bit . i appreciate everything you have done . Dont Go!

Well, let's put it this way. I can come back and become a productive coder again (currently all I do is look at submitted patches from people who actually DO something, and commit them after fixing minor issues).

However, I do NOT want this "king" role back. It is what annoyed me most, and I never really wanted it (it just "fell" onto me because of Vermeulen becoming inactive with Nexuiz, and SavageX, who "on paper" has this role, not having the time for it - for which I don't blame him). I do not want to deal with all the complaints about every single change. I do not want to deal with people asking me about every single problem they have (and in the end it's their graphics driver anyway).

And I do NOT want to be the only active coder.

So basically, it's your task to fix this community if you want me back as an active coder.

Tenshihan, please finish your sound pack anyway - I will commit it when done. If you need minor code changes, tell me.

As for that particle effect, talk to Morphed, he's doing the effects (and it still does look pink and not orange to me).

That sounds fair to me! I think if the community put some effort into it, we could help find more developers.

So, Nexuiz Community, let's discuss ways to attract more developers to Nexuiz. Perhaps a new thread is needed for this.

[Strahlemann]

meh..

i'll miss all the augenkrebs-fun.
New features abused in the most horrible way.
I loved it.
/me kneels down for div0. He who has made Nexuiz possible like it is.

[shaggy]

Div, I am sorry to hear that you feel that way... You've been great to this community. I think for everyone in this community that has a part of it has undergone some stress. It may just be that time of the year when exams are starting to start and people are cramming... I hope that in this case, you can come back in time after having a break from the development team.

I know I'm horrid at scripting, but I'll attempt to help out the community, I don't think one single persons effort could amount to the work div does for us. I do hope to see you back as a dev soon!

Most importantly, thank you for the effort you have put in, making this whole thing possible, I don't think nexuiz would have been made possible if it weren't for you.
