xaivern if you weren't included i would leave hahaha. your pack is wonderful.
;D Thanks, Don't feed mah ego too much tho O_o... jkjk, Your pack is faaantastic :smile.gif: Not colorful and all that like mine but whose to say that makes it in any way worst? Not me, that's for sure :tongue.gif:
this thread was not about the new forum changes at all. this was about having a single thread we could all meet and chat in about our textures or whats going on in the forums. But the other threads are getting a bit out of hand.

Alright, everyone. I have a solution on how to fix this problem.
I am going to set up a donation acct on the OP that we can use to buy our own website
Who's with me?
We can make the rules in a non-retarded way.
We can design it in a simplistic fashion so as to differentiate between types of packs. [e.g. a subforum for 16x, 32x, etc, as well as "linking" words. By this I mean like how you do in YouTube to describe your video by including words. But the catch is the Admins have to ascribe the words because that way there is no spamwords.]
Among other things, ladies and gents, this forum has been getting worse for the last few months, and if these changes really occur, I'm done. We need our own site anyway.
Who's with me?
I know I will donate the proceeds from my adfly links towards the cause.
I think a donation act is a great idea :biggrin.gif:
Sadly, I'm only 14 and I have literally no money to donate so I wouldn't be able to give anything at the moment D:, although I could set up an Adfly link or a donation act of my own, so I can use that to donate to the Union.
Frozen, I'd say lets first work on discussing the matter at hand with the administration to help them see what we believe is ill with this concept and work to colaborate with them as to improve the forum. Once things go so far down hill, then I'd say it be best to consider other options.
I'm sure you have all heard by now of the upcoming changes planned by Curse for our texture pack forum.
Although it is my sincerest hope that the discussion thread and Dante's petition will succeed in halting this change, we as a community need to plan for the worst.
In light of that, I call on all members of the texture pack union to stage a walk out (ie, take down their download links and change the titles of their threads to "Forced out by Curse") should the changes go through, until such a time as they are repealed. We need to prove to them that we are serious about our opposition to the new structure as it stands, and show them just how well a texture pack forum operates if there are no texture pack makers. :smile.gif:
Ah, good. I'd never manage leaving forever. :biggrin.gif:
I say to you, my good Feathers, to count me in. This may be a good spot of protesting fun.
If we do end up going away forever, we can always migrate to the Mojang Community. I just registered and posted and stuff, it's pretty decent. it even has centered and bold!
I don't want to have to remove my pack from this site, since I get practically no views anywhere else, aside from MinecraftCusomizer.net, though I suspect a lot of those come through here. Curse really needs to learn to leave us alone on aspects like this, though, so I will if they show no interest in the general public. The format change will only benefit a few very large mods, such as the Aether, and even then, extra threads for those mods would be easily implemented without much fuss. Even reasonably large mods (such as mine) would not benefit in any way. I, personally, would find it a huge pain with the new format to keep up with things.

As this is Feathers' walk-out, Feathers, would we be allowed to post on the forum (as in, we just remove out texture packs), or is it full abstinence from this place?
I'm not talking about removing your threads, I'm talking about taking down the download links, changing your titles, and setting your fans loose on Curse for chasing you away. Protests are worthless unless someone sees them, after all.
From an outsider's perspective: I'm not going to give a cent of my money so that a bunch of "troubled artists" can have their own website and get no traffic.
That being said, you guys design some fantastic texture packs.
kehehehe. Let's see, then... What can we do for a protest that would REALLY get their attention... No, I probably shouldn't do that. Up to you guys then :tongue.gif:
I guess we could ALL just PM the admins all at once. That would probably get their attention.

Sounds good, comrade.
Basically wiping the "minecraft forums" of texture packs, and moving them all to a new site.
