I'll see your essay and raise you a dissertation, because I am utterly incapable of brevity. Good news! We totally don't disagree. Uh, I apologize in advance for getting a little word-technical here (irony, ho!), but, well, you quite literally keep my trains running on time, and I won't be able...

The second sentence is absolutely true, but it in no way diminishes the reciprocal respect you've all earned. I think most people just leave the "modders deserve respect" half of that equation unspoken, simply because it's so obviously understood and practiced by you at every turn. You've always...

Yeah, that just made me sad. The FTB folk do not deserve any flak. Is it so hard for people to recognize a difficult call when they see one, and realize that difficult calls don't always go their way? Oh, right, sorry. "Hi, I'm new to the Internet..." ;)

Kant? You dare compare me to that vacuous sophist? I ... I ... I ... *sputter* ;) Seriously though, that's one of the nicest compliments I've received, thank you :) When my head inflates like a balloon, know that it was your fault. Since the rest of your post makes me blush, and since...

Quoted the whole thing again because it's really one of the best analogies I've read in a long while. I'm assuming the puddle is pee. I say this only so you won't be surprised when I start referencing pee. I think Slowpoke's response was appropriate, but could have been stronger. That being...

I know, I know, we're running around in circles, but it's only for a few more hours. As for the part I'm playing in these reruns, I point to this photo of me---it accurately captures my likeness, and should explain everything: Holy internal contradiction, Batman! As you've just pointed...

Sorry, Viper, I couldn't quite hear your parting words from way down at the bottom of the the pyramid. Mature discussion taking place here with a modder worthy of a little respect, I should think, even in disagreement. But I'm pretty sure you already regret that, so I forgive you. Back on...

To be honest, with a few exceptions, this has been a shockingly well-behaved thread given the topic. In fact, the worst of the off-topic/badly-behaved posts have come from the "stop arguing about this" crowd :P

I have so much respect for modders and what you freely give to all of us, that it honestly pains me when I find myself in disagreement. (And, just to be clear, I am no fan of Greg.) I also apologize for the wall of text, but I really wanted to be thorough in laying out my case. I'll try to use...

I'm sorry, sir, that's MY throne you're so clumsily usurping -- honestly, I spend more time cutting my posts down from the ten-page dissertations they start out as, than I actually do writing them ;)

I disagree with your moral equivocation. One does not punish a slap in the face by burning down someone else's village. Spreading malicious code is the complete abdication of any moral ground, high or low, full stop.

This is actually a fair point that should be (delicately) discussed, if only to help the FTB team figure out exactly what to do here (and, from what I know of the people behind FTB, they're smartly delaying any public response until they have a much clearer understanding of the situation than we...

I'm sorry, I'm on a widescreen monitor and there was only one line. But I shrunk my window enough, and BAM! There it was. :D

Wait, what mods? What's "it?" Sorry, at the pace this thread is moving we need constant context updates ;)

My biggest problem with GregTech itself is its creative laziness. Compounding tedium upon grinding upon an "I need ALL the iridiums!"-mentality, then wrapping it all up in an eight-level Russian Nesting Doll of a crafting recipe involving a Machine Casing multiblock pretty much describes 80% of...

As you’ll very quickly see (or slowly, depending on your reading speed---apologies for that), I am no fan of GregTech. However, I have to address a flawed argument I keep seeing that is really quite misguided: Greg is not a hypocrite merely because he changes functions in other mods, but...

Rather than post a new topic making the same point (though probably with a less catchy headline), I've decided to have a go at the Dark Arts of Necromancy. Anyways, I was searching for ways to reduce TPS lag on servers, and I found a confusing exchange about FPS lag. But amid that was this. It...

Thank you all very much for your help! The two guilty parties have been identified, and both were surprising as hell to me: Routers: I did a lot of research on these before I started to rely on them, because they struck me as the sort of thing that might cause lag... but the only hits I ever...

I currently have thirty Alvearies, each with six Frame Housings kept stocked with Impregnated Frames (via Routers). Obviously, using Impregnated Frames over Untreated Frames presents difficulties, chiefly among them the absurd amounts of wood (1k+ logs---not planks---per day, it's insane) and...

Okay, STILL no luck, this time with: 3x Mutators, EACH stocked with Nether Stars 16x Frame Housings, EACH stocked with Soul Frames ... for a total of 3x Nether Stars + 16x Soul Frames influencing each life cycle. 1000/1000 Pure Node located one block adjacent to the alveary. Half-dozen...
