Leaving!

**Morgwen** · May 14th, 2002, 02:10 AM

I have decided to stop my support for Gnutella and file sharing!

There are several reason for this but the main one is, I can´t close my eyes and ingore in which direction Gnutella is moving!
I told my opinion about this, now several users started to badmouth my support in general! So I don´t want to waste my "private" time anymore...

Its not me who should decide if my support was usefull or not, I hope I have helped many of you!

Good bye,

Morgwen

That's the second time you do this, man. Maybe you're taking the whole things a little bit too seriously?

Relax..... Breathe in... Breathe out....

The last time I ment I want to leave zeropaid but this has nothing to do with this story here!

This time I leave ALL forums... and this is no fast decision, I am thinking about this for several months now!

Not that you owe anybody an explanation, but I'm curious as to what your reasons are. Hey, it would make a great thread for discussion for when you're gone! :shy

Anyway, I hope you chill on the issue and regain some perspective. I may be cursed for this by others here, but much as I love filesharing I'd never take it seriously enough that I'd actually spend months considering a decision regarding it.

It's all just a means to an end, a somtimes hobby, and an interesting field in IT. That's all.

I spent a lot of time for Gnutella with support etc. and I like many people around... but many of them left too... I moderated several websites regarding file sharing, it was a little more than a hobby for me!

Now I share my files and let others do the support!

About my reasons, I ´said I don´t like the direction in which Gnutella is moving... Spyware, Vinnie, clustering, trolls asking money for clients etc.!

And some private ones!

Well, fair enough and best of luck.

You see, much like you now I am a user first and foremost, and I wil offer my support when I have something to contribute. But no way I'd let anything like that get to me like that.

Vinnie, I think people know how I feel about him. Spyware, trolls, etc... all part of the game. Without controversy there is no evolution, and whatever doesn't evolve dies.

So take it all in and love it, for it's all part of the great game of cyberspace.

Yes,

but not my game... I just want to share my files in future and don´t think about this game anymore!

Although we've had our fair share of debates. Just because i dont share the same opinions or ideals as morgwen doesnt mean that i have anything personal against him. Anyways im sure that you will be missed and good luck to you in the future.

As for the direction of gnutella time will tell...

This thread make sense?

According to the date posted this was announced in May.
Yet certainly I have seen his posts here recently, so I assume that he posted today.

Whatever the date, if we drive each other away, we suck.
I think you should stay around because I valued your opinion.

**The Hunter** · July 18th, 2002, 07:28 PM

I do think it is obvious that I am a dope. Sorry about the last reply, but it makes a point that that we should check the dates on the posts before posting a reply.
