DroidForums.net & Ultimate Droid ROMs

[droidnut803]

this blows. blackdroid was extremely helpful. and never too busy to answer questions. at the least i hope the other devs take a lesson from him and actually help those of us who dont know much about this. its a sad day at droidforums

Sorry guys.but the drama had to end......BD is a great guy and has been silly helpful to me. @ SRT I know you worked hard to fix the issues...though it didnt work out..........

Yeah he was so great you booted him!

Well, as a Mod, and as someone who has not even rooted his NexusOne, I'll say this:
This entire episode is as shameful as anything I've seen anywhere. Whether BD made any mistakes or not, the fanboyism, the attacks on the forum, the damnation....all are examples of some of the most childish behavior I've ever seen carried on by adults.

That this forum became the focal point for all this is another disgrace that I cannot understand. As many have said, if you don't like one dev's work, simply don't use it! The pettyness is uncalled for, umprofessional, and too many other adjectives to list here....all negative.

I'll also say that I disagree with this decision, in that I don't see this being the end of this kind of behavior. It seems to me to be part and parcel of the egos that write ROMs; and I'm almost certain that this kind of "war" will surface again in the future. I think we, as a forum, would be better served to simply stop hosting developers altogether, and just let the forum be a place to discsuss their work--which would be published elsewhere. The community would still be served, and the "need" to shred other devs would be inappropriate in this forum.

But nobody asked me, and I'm only one opinion. I'm proud of this place. I will remain proud of this place. But I have lost respect for more than one developer, and likely decided once and for all not to root.

Thanks for your time, and I'll see you all around here...hopefully in better moods.

This won't be good for droidforums

Maybe not in the short run but in the long run I think it will be better.

Doesnt get much more clear then this

If you're trying to show how many posted in his forum vs the other ROM forums, I'd guess it is because he pretty much hosted his ROM here while the other ROMS were mostly hosted on another forum, and questions and discussions take place there. So, if all of those posts weren't here, I don't see how it matters much if they were mostly discussing UD. They can discuss UD where he nexts hosts 'his' ROM.

I think DF made the right decision, and not much will change after BD is gone. Off to cyanogen!

[linkboy]

I support the mods on their decision. There really wasn't a win-win in this mess, and they did the best they could in a bad situation. I'll move on to other roms. Cyanogen doesn't seem to run well on my phone, and UD has lost my respect by not manning up. Adamz? Pete? Chevy? I'm coming back! I'll even try Cyanogen again after a while. I figure that maybe since his rom is so cutting edge, it just needs some time for the kinks to get worked out. Thank you mods and DF. I salute your efforts and integrity through this.

When you installed Cyanogen, did you use Titanium to restore things. I tried to install it a few weeks ago and it ran like crap (dropped back to UD 9.0). I just reflashed Cyanogen, but didn't use Titanium and its running much better.

Yeah! Go mods! Way to take this thing. Koush and CyanogenMod forever!

[Mojo]

Well now this pisses me off! I could care less what "source" blackdroids ROM came from... but unfortunately now I cannot get updates to the ROM that I chose to use... thanks to cyanogen, koush, dbu. .... all of You are f'n cry babies because you did not get a "thank-you"! I dont care what you have done for the "android world" because what you have done today is ruin this community with your childish behavior. You guys should have taken this matter to staff and blackdroid in private. So this could have been worked out in private. I have lost respect for all of you. And blackdroid your just as much to blame too! You should have just posted your damm sources in the first place your just as big of a f'n child too! Mods... sorry to be so blatent but I am truly ticked!

It amazes me that such smart people with such good talents.... have the maturity of a 5 year old.

[pepsi149]

So can we get bd rom on rom manager?
