You seem to have nothing better to do but bag on Driver Madness and call out other people. You didn't even write much in your post as to WHY it's "completely cheap" because nobody else but you seems to think this.
it was better before
sorry

Miller wrote:Mark? Well, he is staff, too, but he does like to stamp his name on stuff, even in cases where it has no business being there. Mark has done a lot for this website, but possibly not as much as he has done TO this website at the same time, something many people willingly ignore and others fail to realize. How dare I say such a thing? Easy, I just did because I call it the way it is without fear of what others think of me. It is called subscribing to reality without concern for my ego, as opposed to subscribing to others' egos.All in all, I think you have me backwards Miller, and I'm upset that you would say these kind of things about me. It's bad enough I'm depressed all the time and I feel unwanted by most people, but you just put the icing on the cake.
Stamp my name on stuff, especially where it doesn't belong? I merely put myself in the credits for the theme, because it looked a hell of a lot different than it does now. I put my name on the end of announcement posts because it's a habit I've developed. What's so bad about that?
Mark is here primarily to gratify his ego, though he does seem to be slowly learning to indulge himself without doing so as much at the expense of this website's real chances for success, all dependent on its public image. (Oh, the knee-jerk responses if they were to be shown, so predictable: "That ain't the only thing he comes here for," as if I even wrote that.)
What a disrespectful thing to say about me. I am almost 19 years old, I have no social life, and I'm constantly depressed. I don't have any ego, and however you got that opinion is beyond me. I have problems with ADHD, possible degrees of autism, and other issues in my pathetic excuse for a "life". I just wanted to help Driver Madness, not for me, but for everyone else.
Mark is a heavy lifter. By that I mean that almost every last thing he ever did for this website was merely an adjustment to (or relocation of) someone else's work. He has never had much in the way of compunction about implying he did something someone else actually did, or allowing others to draw a mistaken inference in that regard, or shamelessly taking credit for the creativity and labor of someone else, the most egregious example of which that I know being the Driver Wiki he started and associated with this website without regard to the impact on this website's public image. By that, I mean he copied and pasted articles directly from other sources without even mentioning the original authors. That was supposed to make him look good. It made Driver Madness look bad.
I will credit you for the Cars of Driver gallery as soon as possible. You haven't been coming around or made any requests to me in regards to that, I had no idea. Again, sorry. As for the Driver Wiki, I'll admit, it was a failed project by me. I've never been a good project organizer, I'm a failure at anything that involves me being the leader. I'm not afraid to say that, because it's true.
I do not want people coming here and getting the mistaken impression that someone else, most especially Mark, contributed the screenshots and slideshows known as Cars of Driver. There can be no doubt that if Mark had made that stuff, which actually did require a huge amount of time and effort, there would be a note on each and every gallery page saying "CarLuver69 made this, and it was hard as hell and took me forever, but I did it all for you cuz I am so amazing."
Another stab to the heart, I am in no way seeking that kind of attention/recognition. This is depressing to read.
I am glad to see that Mark's actual level of competence with managing web content is approaching the degree of fictitious braggadocio he was spouting years ago. The time in between was annoying, nevertheless.
I am in no means boastful or arrogant. You have the wrong opinion of me, and it breaks my heart to read this stuff you're saying about me. In fact, it's depressing me more than I need to be.
I remember receiving his messages under the pretense of offering advice. The advice was worthless because he did not know what he was talking about, but he did manage to succeed at pretending he did, and that is probably all that mattered to him, along with laughable attempts to belittle me in the process. Annoying and useless.
I was only trying to SINCERELY help you, but I guess I'm a liar and trying to make my ego look bigger. I won't bother helping anyone ever again.
I also remember when he was bitching about having spent hours trying (and failing) to center the menu Galen asked me to send him to add to the forum. It took me like ten minutes to figure out how to center it, and I had no previous experience with this sort of thing. I also was not sitting there working with whatever documents were involved, as Mark had. I had to do it without that advantage, then I sent some code to correct the positioning problem, which still remained unattended for so long in a part of this place that was beyond my purview.
I can't remember this too well, but whatever.
I do not see why any pretense was made with the poll about removing the blog module when it was going to happen anyway, regardless of what may be claimed to the contrary. Making false claims is like breathing in and out to some people. And there is many a man in black robes instructing juries to do their duty after informing them as to how they should make up their minds.
I don't have the right to remove things without consulting Galen first. And then of course, I had no idea if anyone even cared for the blog mod. I believe in community feedback, if I were to just go removing stuff without consulting anyone, that would almost feel like a dictatorship to me. "Oh, you liked the blog mod? Too bad, it's getting removed."
Do not misunderstand. I will feel pleased to see the blog section removed. I am voting for it to be uninstalled.
Fine by me.
I was polite to everyone here except for Mark after a time because Mark forfeited my respect, which is arbitrarily given to all or anyone until they insist it should be withdrawn. He did so in no small part by affording me very little in the first place, along with many other users of this website. None at all to some.
Because I've been SUCH an asshole to you, right? It's the other way around. You're being an asshole to me, which makes me lose respect for you. I am hurt by your accusations.
More was expected from Mark because with greater rank comes greater responsibility. But Mark proved himself the kind who thinks getting ten people behind you when you are wrong makes you right. It only makes eleven people wrong. Even much of his temporary civility was calculated. Like the people who act pious on Sunday, as if their god is unable to see them the rest of the week.
Calculated? Wow Miller...all I've ever been was sincere and honest about who I am. I have problems, and these problems affect my behavior. The outbursts are mostly ADHD and, possibly, depression.
Mark's main reason for doing anything is to be the center of attention. And he already has that with the update blog, so why would he care about anyone else blogging?
You're an asshole. I am not trying to be the center of attention, why don't you talk to me in private first and ask why I behave this way instead of publicly disgracing someone who is nothing like you say I am.
It may be irrelevant that Mark did not whine and b*t*h and nag behind the scenes to be chosen as a contest winner last October. There are probably people who simply assume anyway that this was indeed done so he could get his hands on the merchandise or gain a little more prestige, even if in a perverted way, at the expense of this website's public image. For in the public eye, as with your own points of view whether valid or not, perception is reality.
I personally felt I didn't deserve to win the award. I felt the whole thing was rigged, but did I come out and say that? No, it would be unnecessary, don't you think?

I did not see anything at DM News about it. If it was there, please excuse me. But I looked more than once, starting with where the contest had been announced and entries were submitted, after which T.K. started struggling with the fact that there did not seem to be quite enough DRIVER related news to keep blogging about. (lol) That was all before anything was lost, and well after the contest was concluded.
bb_42001 wrote: miller if you wanted some driver stuff ask i am sure i can send something out to you, i still have a couple of things left over.Actually, what I wrote above was that I have a lot of DRIVER stuff, well organized, which I did not bother to upload when you asked at the beginning of the year because I assumed you guys already have those things at home as well. I guess most of it, people do have, but what I have been reading sounds in part like people probably have this or that if they can find it.
bb_42001 wrote: and not sure where your getting at but the money you donated is not all gone we still have bit under half left.Good example of one drawback of being longwinded, it makes it difficult for each thing one writes about to come across as effectively as it might if addressed in a more concise manner. Sorry about that. The money I referred to in my previous post was that donated in 2008, which made it possible for this place to be resurrected from the grave that year, the narrative of which was somewhat disingenuous, if not dubious. I was not referring to money sent to you later. Boss, you do a lot better job of managing funds than Madness did, which is another advantage of having you for the administrator.
T.K. wrote:For crying out loud, can't we all just get along?T.K., you did a nice job of changing your tune here, becoming a valuable asset instead of a liability. You know what I am talking about, and you have my regard and gratitude for that. The best part about it was that you improved willingly without making it like pulling teeth.

Miller wrote:Oh, the knee-jerk responses...so predictable: "That ain't the only thing Mark comes here for," as if I even wrote that.That is a perfect example of the kind of intellectual dishonesty I referred to. Misrepresenting what someone else said or wrote to make it more convenient to argue against is common. I got fed up with people who argue that way before Mark was ever born. No one wrote that the only thing Mark cares about is himself and servicing his ego. I wrote that this is his primary motivation, and that observation stands up to scrutiny, meaning it can be substantiated.
