| Rub:
It's more of the fact you said it's all "done" and the site is "yours" with a few "resources" used when all of that isn't true. If you'd have just been honest from the start there'd now be no issue, would there? |

The hard part about hosting is having good hardware and a good connection. You're offering basic remote management functionality that exists for free for most other games and will eventually exist for free for Blockland too, be it through RTB or something someone else makes. Nobody's going to pay a subscription to be able to remotely manage a server they host themselves, sorry. --- End quote --- I explain mostly what Ephialtes is doing in this post... --- Quote from: Kalphiter on January 07, 2013, 12:44:08 PM ---Jeep has a great idea about server management but I disagree with the paid features of it. That's probably the only disagreeable part. Remember, Jeep said that there will probably be a free version of this server management tool, meaning the paid part is only a supplement. A free version thereof is direct competition to you. You, on the other hand, have done nothing innovative with server management. All RTB has to offer as far as server management goes is preference changing and online/out-of-server player list viewing (don't forget the inability of RTB to detect a player as the host of a dedicated server! Funny how whenever I mentioned that inability my post was deleted) . You're quick to put down someone else's attempt (by unfairly considering only the parts you don't like) and make the bullstuff claim that RTB will come to the rescue. You've been here for years handling a server-management add-on yet you failed to innovative thereon. You have a continuous habit of putting down people's projects when they come near to your non-innovative projects. There are a few other possible grounds whereon you could be against this project, such as that features better than those on RTB’s hosting can be provided for free. I get called anti-competition for pointing out issues; no one calls you anti-competition despite your long history of it. Your goals are to drive out potential competition by discouragement and stuffposting until death. See: Blockland Cloud and Kaphost stuffposting and abuse; this topic --- End quote --- |

The RTB team scowers the internet trying to find said template. --- End quote --- I just google image searched your dashboard picture - it was on the first page of results. I didn't exactly dedicate hours of my life to this. --- Quote from: Jeep on January 09, 2013, 04:19:51 PM ---You probably shouldn't be assuming things if you're going to take shots at a service. I have every method developed to pull data from the server and have it on blockStar. That's what I mean by "done". Are you handicapped? --- End quote --- Well I'm not a mind reader. That's all you said in your post - how am I meant to know that what you meant isn't what you typed? --- Quote from: Jeep on January 09, 2013, 04:19:51 PM ---You see, RTB can't really find anything wrong with this service, so they look for reasons. --- End quote --- No I already stated a bunch of things wrong with your proposal such as your lack of experience, lack of track record completing projects, lack of good business plan, overestimating the size of your target market, failing to recognise that these kinds of services are offered for free for most other games etc. --- Quote from: Kalphiter on January 09, 2013, 04:28:44 PM ---Maybe it's because some of you (read: Ephialtes) fear losing power and being competed against while you run your own game management tools; you have failed to innovate, at least over the course of the last few years. --- End quote --- Yeah RTB provides a simple free server controls feature that allows people to change basic settings for their server. There's no point innovating because it does what it's meant to do and people are happy with that lol. If people were unhappy about it I think someone would have made a better one in all the years I've "failed to innovate." Feel free to make a better one by all means, I really don't care. RTB isn't a server management add-on - that's not what it specialises in. I honestly have no idea what point you're trying to make. --- Quote from: Jeep on January 09, 2013, 04:42:37 PM ---You've proved that you're willing to everything there is to do to make sure no competition exists. --- End quote --- I can probably speak for Rub too when I say we're not too worried about competition. We crashed the party 2 years late and gained more clients than the competition did over 2 years in just over a month. I'm not posting here hoping you'll go "oh stuff they're being so mean, I'm done with this" - I just think you're going about this in entirely the wrong way. Charging money for such basic functionality is never going to work, people just aren't going to pay for this and if they do someone will provide a free alternative. |

"I just google image searched your dashboard picture - it was on the first page of results. I didn't exactly dedicate hours of my life to this." Any reason you did that? You pretty clearly wanted to do something with it if you found something. "Well I'm not a mind reader. That's all you said in your post - how am I meant to know that what you meant isn't what you typed?" No, you assumed what I said was that the every single inch was done, when I was pretty clear both in that post and throughout the topic that I'm still working. "No I already stated a bunch of things wrong with your proposal such as your lack of experience, lack of track record completing projects, lack of good business plan, overestimating the size of your target market, failing to recognise that these kinds of services are offered for free for most other games etc." All of which are bullstuff arguments. "I can probably speak for Rub too when I say we're not too worried about competition--" So, what was the point of telling me to stop working on this? What was the point of pointing out my template? What was the point of trying to get me to think that I needed 800$ for the template? And again, you assume that no one will buy this. I pity you. I truly do. |
