Telling us what community means while you have never contributed to our community nor even been part of it (until your recent registration) is just ridiculous. We dont need such a lesson. The only reason why you still can play Freelancer on online servers and download mods is because of people like us.

You have no idea who I am, and have no idea whether or not I have contributed to the Freelancer community. Sure maybe not the crossfire community, but don't forget people played freelancer long before you guys came along. On top of that, thousands of mods have been released. Who are you to say I don't know anything about community? And judging by the response, I feel like you DO need a lesson seeing as how you are openly attacking me. One person. While I attacked a shoddy community practice I have seen time and time and again from community leader who forgot what a community was supposed to do. Merely my two cents.

As far as who am I to say what is community? It is not limited simply to this game. All games with modding communities operate in much the same way. Stellar Frontier for one.

But I digress. Thank you Micheal for the informative post. I hope you heed my advice on adding No LAN capability to the installation guide. I am sure I will not be the last person to be looking for it. It should save the headache on having to comment on it over and over and over again, by now I am sure you are tired of.

You know. I can accept the fact that you don't want anyone to operate a LAN server, or host an official server for that matter.

What I DON'T like is the fact that you don't give any REASON as to WHY. And even practically tell people to F off when they don't like it

You are no better than the big gaming companies. At least they give us a reason why. You need to understand that the COMMUNITY is what makes
crossfire what it is. NOT YOU. If nobody gave a crap about this mod, well then we wouldn't be having this discussion at all. The community deserves an answer as to why you refuse to let anyone run their own LAN server. On top of that, you need to put it on the installation front page. It's ridiculous that I, like many others had to go through all this trouble to find out basically, NO YOU CANT HAVE IT, F OFF. It is this kind of crap that causes hacks, and bad reputations occur. I wouldn't be surprised if someone is working on releasing a hack which grants us access to hosting our own LAN server. Simply just to spite you, not because they like the mod at all. Give your community better feedback, or your mod will eventually die. Give us a real answer as to why you don't want us hosting LAN servers.
