IMO, Pawkette was one of the best of us at this. I believe she even stated she is a developer IRL. I'm sorry she felt she needed to step away from this site. |

I hope it wasn't because someone circumvented her new xp icon by making a patch to replace it with the old one. That would be a bit of an overreaction imo.

All of that said, I hate that some people made it so that she felt like she didn't want to continue. It sucks, all over the place. And in talks with her about it, I know why she decided to walk away and agree with her. A hobby isn't worth getting stressed out/losing sleep over. It's supposed to be fun. If it isn't fun, then stop doing it. I wish people hadn't made it not fun for her. However it was done, unfortunately, and there isn't anything any of us can do to 'go back and fix it'. |

Pawkette tried to moderate her own addon comments. When I found out what was happening and how people were acting, I gave a big fat warning on the comment page to all involved. I also told her that if she needed anything at all to let us know. Unfortunately, it was so bad that the next thing we heard was that she wanted to close up shop.
Some people think that when they are on the internet they have license to say and act however they feel. Maybe they forget that there's another person on the other end. Or maybe they feel bulletproof and anonymous and just don't care. Either way, guys (both users and authors alike), please let us know when you see things like this happening. As Cairenn said, we can't possibly be everywhere at once, but we really want to help you, we will have your back, and we do want this site to be a happy, productive community. |

Lets be clear about this: This is a enrage.
We are between programers, so we know what it be to deal with ungrateful bad-mannered people. Usually, the customers. And then, because we won money out of that, we eat it. But this is an altruistic none-profitable kind of programing, that we do in our free time. Our free time! Instead of playing, going out, or just do whatever other thing we could want. To be screwed by the same users you are trying to help...that's not ok. But the world its full of ********, and internet even more. We all know the tonic is that people who come to say something usually comes to say something bad. Maybe a bug, maybe something they want different...and usually they say it like its an order. ...Because, you know, you are our slave. Sometimes our *****. You do the addon for us, because reasons. We all know this. Now, we are still between programers. And because we know, we can still talk. When you do this kind of work, its like some kind of baby. Maybe a puppy. Its yours. You love it. And you want it to succeed. You don't want anyone to maintain it. Even if you get enraged and drop it. I read that somehow she is still developing some addons at github. If I did read it right, then there you have it: She doesn't want to stop developing her work. She is just mad, and I think every ****ing one of us understand her. But now its time to calm down, think it twice, and come back. Why? Because we need her. And because she want to. Even before I knew she was a 'she', he was one of my favorite addon developers on ESO. Jesus, she got me MSBT on ESO! Just for that I'll be always grateful! She just need to 'feel the love'. And that is what I think many people is doing in this thread. (Not only for her...I think every addon developer deserves to feel the love once in a while) We users just love that work, even when we forget that behind it there is a human being working hard to gift it to us. Some people just know it every time they see the download count, and not really need to be reminded...but when you got flamed in your very addon forum space, its cool to have a thread when people ask you to came back. So, I hope she do came back. Not only for us, but for herself too (pd: sorry if my english sound weird...every time I read the 'feel the love' and 'came back' lines It feels like they are ****ing wrong, and I don't know why for sure XD ) Last edited by Cairenn : 04/08/14 at 02:17 AM. |

I would love if Pawkette stayed here in the community and continued to make add-ons, but if she wants to leave because of some perceived slight from the community then I am not going to feel bad she left.
The community is not in short supply of programmers or Elder Scrolls fans. If she thinks we don't appreciate her add on, GOOD RIDDANCE. Sorry someone had to say it. We will live on and prosper without her. Last edited by Implement : 04/08/14 at 01:16 AM. |

You are entitled to your opinion. Just remember our rules about posting with respect and courtesy:
Your post is very definitely pushing the line of what we will tolerate. Be a bit more civil in the future, please. Last edited by Cairenn : 04/08/14 at 02:44 AM. |
