Platyna's Planeshift site
« on: October 15, 2005, 02:43:56 pm »
Hi everyone!

I know I already posted something similar in the Linux subforum almost two weeks ago, but somehow you managed to ignore it all the time, maybe because it was in the wrong section or whatever. So here\'s it again:

See http://planeshift.xpam.de to get a new one.

Well, I haven\'t been to this forum for a few days, but when I followed the URL above I saw that Platyna\'s site was down. Why? What happened? There\'s just a message that says:

I can\'t let anyone to bash me and turn all the team against me just because she or he feels endangered that I may go higher in the project than her/him. It is childlish and against any decency.


Planeshift has lost about 400 GB of traffic/month and a devoted to her work Linux maintainer (not that Talad cares).

You may want to take a look on Once MMORPG or RPG Players Community though.

Why did such a valuable member like Platyna leave PlaneShift?
I know that there already is this (closed) thread http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=19373&boardid=41 about this topic, but most people there don\'t even seem to care that she left. Not that PS only lost a important member for the community, but also a download server.
One the one hand the PlaneShift main site (download section) says something like

But on the other hand you can afford to lose that mirror. How does that fit together?

Knowledge is power, if you know how to apply it.

People leave, people rest.

Sometimes you put things over a scale and value which is the best for the future or what is weighting more on the scale. Nobody kicked out a valuable member and everybody has always considered the efforts made in certain fields.

I don\'t know much on that matter, only rather subiective opinions. But i\'m sad, as I knew Platyna a bit and it hurts me that somethink like this happened and i know nothing about the conflict.



What you can failure tommorow, failure today.

Given what I know of Platnya, and of Moogie, I find this unfortunate - but not surprising.


Hopefully she returns in the future, my understanding is that she was valued by the other devs.

I thought a thread like this had already been made and fully answered? The general gist is that Platyna was unhappy about being removed from the GM team by Talad, after he asked the team to send him privately their opinions (minus mine).

Platyna was angry and needed someone to blame, and she is free to think whatever she wants. :)

Let sleeping dogs lie now, thanks.
