greenman100 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I, as well as others, have been watching this forum for an ATI driver for my 9600. I have read a lot, but not made a post until now...and it is to ask the following question: Why must so many of you act so hostile towards developers like Omni and the nVidia guys? Let me remind those of you who give them such a hard time, of a few things. 1. OSX86 was NOT intended to be run on PCs. You cannot expect it to be flawless. 2. Omni, and others, are doing this work for FREE. They have no obligation to you or anyone else to finish the project. Show these guys some freaking appreciation! I'd be happy to paypal Omni, whether he finishes the driver or not, just out of appreciation. /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenman100 Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 I suppose this: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=14169 Covers most of my sentiments. Though I am genuinely curious as to why people feel the need to be so rude to those who are working for them for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiphaas7 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=14169 Covers most of my sentiments. ' Right. So why are you starting this thread again? Rhetorical question. As has been said many, many times, these threads tend to be as flamey and unproductive as the threads you despise in your post. Forum title: Drivers If you've made 'em or are working on 'em, fill us in. Nuff said without being harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swad Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 We'll close all the threads that get out of hand. What we're planning on doing is opening up a section called The Labs in which driver makers can have their own forum and their own ability to moderate. They can also choose who they would like to have help mod, if they so choose. We'll also have a blogging system set up so that they can keep us all up to date on their progress. This will all be a part of our major forum innovations coming in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoMax Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 just pray some one "dev" will left here till July Actually, i guess you're the only one still insisting. Some policies and "way of doing things" on these forums are something that i will never understand, specially the behavior of some mods, plus, driver makers already have "their own forum".

Diego, I'd love to chat with you about things you think we could do better. The "their own forum" part is for those developers - not just of drivers, but of apps, etc - who need forum space and other assistance. That may not be everyone, but it is a need of quite a few. Our mods team does a great job and I trust their judgement. If there is something that we can do better - or if someone thinks they'd like to assist in this manner - we're always open.

DiegoMax Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Great, you can chat with me when you want, im usually at #macvidia on the irc server, but i tell you, if you chat with me, you are going to hear things that you are not going to agree / like.

Swad Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 DiegoMax- I'll try to hop on this weekend. I'm always open to constructive criticism - I'll be looking forward to hearing what you've got to say. It's hard to manage a forum where so many people are wanting so much from so few people; it's not easy to make both the devs and users content with what we allow to be posted. However, we're always up for changing things for the better. I'll talk with you soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
