SF open beta testing.

// back on-topic (please?)

I have to agree :
this 'site-subscription'-stuff sounds pretty 'shady'.
To me it looks more like they're trying to avoid the
'thou shalt not sell modifications for profit'-part of the license-agreement.

This 'beta' for subscribers looks like another thing to get ppl to buy the "subscription" to the site.

If they really wanted to do an 'open' beta, then they should do it like Unreal Fortress team.
They have one server open to the public with the (current?) beta for the next release ...

And paying for a beta is just stupid IMHO. You do this stuff for free or you get paid to do it (as a service for the developers).
Anything else is just abusing the fact that some ppl are too impatient to wait for a finished product.

I don't want to bash Opti for his beliefs, but over on thier forum, there have been a few threads started be Opti himself, one had to do with asking for money to build a church(he made it a 'sticky' in the General SF area), the other was a thread letting people know where to contact him should they need 'help'..(also a sticky in the General SF area). I have also seen an entire thread that was intelligently speaking about religion deleted. It's unfortunate that he uses his 'forum power' to further his own personal agenda. As for the CD thing, if they got money for it, good. They work hard and deserve something..and if Infiltration or the 'new' TacOps tried the same thing, I would probably send some cash as well.

religous people who always ask for money annoy the hell outta me... there are far to many where my parents live, who would never get welfare, or, god forbid, a job , the just bum it off the people in the church.

Just testing...

Just put html tags inside the forbidden word you want to say. (ie if you want to say "fu<i></i>ck," write f(<)i(>)(<)/i(>)uck, without the parantheses.

You spoiled the fun, now noone will even think about what I meant with "Use the source Luke."


Oh well
