yay or nay for the rumor

[Corruptedwow]

well as most of you might know there are a good amount of rumours out on ascent atm. and i just want to know which ones you guys think are real, which aren't.

Current Rumor List: (add more if you like)

rumor 1: Burlex was payed $10,000 dollars from WowScape to give them 2.4 working branch and work for them.

rumor 2 (almost in line w/ #1) WowScape payed burlex $xxxx amount to give them 2.4 and to NEVER release 2.4 to the public.

rumor 3: Burlex will be closing down ascent, and keeping 2.4 private for WowScape

rumor 4: Burlex will only be releasing compiled Bins from now on\


again like it says...these are ALL RUMOURS the validity of these are up for debates. so this is where this thread comes in. just discuss WHAT you think is true/false and some evidense.

also if you have other rumours, post em

[nickelo]

Rumor 1 probably isnt true..i mean comon now 10k dollars? lol

[burlex]

none of these are true.
they have it because i'm good friends with the staff there, they're the official server for ascent, and i manage their servers. they're the reason ascent is so stable.
it'll go public eventually when the community stops being asshats. (if people have paid attention i already merged up to r38, the last 2.3 rev from my svn into public trunk, stability is ****ed because of aceindy though)

by asshats, i mean people coming in irc saying "burlex GIVE ME 2.4 SO I CAN MAKE $350". like yeah. totally. what work did you do to deserve profit from this stuff?

yes, I have had offers in the $2-5k range for 2.4 sources, no, I have turned every single one of them down. If I needed money, I would sell the emu.

[latruwski]

all as false as they can be 2.4 requires a lot of source code rewriting... = dam much work...
(try to rewrite thousands of lines of codes yourself ><)
Why he doesnt release unstable/unrewritten? becuz too much noobs would ask stupid questions and becuz it would cause chaos...
noobs trying to make money of it, blablablabalbla ... things like that... burlex told it on IRC/ascentemu... we all know it

but nice to see the rumors lol

god dam if you are the real burlex (ye there are a lot of fakers), dam nice you joined mmowned welcome man

Good job on making up stupid rumors, dark side of the community. You all deserve to fail.

[D3m0n1ca]

If people would stop bugging the hell out of everyone else, maybe something nice would happen. Exactly why I am not releasing the 2.4 server I have running.

heh. kinda used to it now ;P
doesn't really bother me too much, if I was concerned of peoples opinions of me I would've stopped a long time ago

[Corruptedwow]

meh like i said,..these were all "RUMOURS"

so it was to see what one the people thought were true...

i was hoping to see more juicy ones like:


"Payton offered burlex a life time supply of sex goats for his pleasure"

[Kuiren]

He's probably not the real Burlex considering he has multiple logins with someone named moocow.

I lol.

[Clain]

it is easy to make a new account...just use tor and click register lol...I have 3

[Kuiren]

Ah, but that's only your ip, we have other detections. :]

[TheSpidey]

No but it's just annoying everyone's flaming you for not releasing the free software you made.

[burlex]

moocow is my alt nick
i can come in under a proxy on wowscape.net if ya like
should be an iinet ip, though.

[Kuiren]

There's many ways to detect a multi user login. One of them is Ip detection.

I don't really care if anyone has multiple accounts, unless they're rep trading.

[burlex]

there, ip should be 75.126.214.115, which should reverse resolve to koro.wowscape.net, if you do a forward lookup on koro.wowscape.net it should return 75.126.214.115, which is also the webhost for wowscape.net

remember kids, ip spoofing can't be done beyond the syn stage, (except with arp poisoning, which you can't do on the net:P) so its impossible fake an ip for a full connection

need any more proof?
