Edited to allow my full thoughts as I was on my phone and the forums are pretty hard to use on my Dumb Iphone.



So, I know this either won't go over well or just get ignored completely but here it goes.



I have brought others to the engine. 3-4 already. I paid for one persons gold pledge and recruited the others! I was thinking, this is the only way I can continue to support the program. I could and would continue to donate and bring new people to the engine as I can.



In exchange, I would like to see a more serious approach to how members and their opinions are treated. Im not talking about my getting "slapped" repeatedly for having an opinion and expressing it the only way i know how. Im talking about the condescending comments from every one. It seems to me as if the forums have become the kiddy corner when one person disagrees with another. Were all adults here. Granted Im assuming this as I wouldnt buy the product for my kids. Myself, Im 45 and it really irks me when I attempt to post and find Ive been "slapped" yet again. Your not hurting my feelings but its just like being in a middle eastern country where your opinion could cost you your life!



This would allow TGC more funds from those "Super Backers" to possibly bring in more people or entice them to provide more functionality in other ways.

I am a very blunt person. I have NO filters in communication. I say exactly what I think and feel. If you think im being abrasive, its probably a personal problem because usually, Im not.

Why would something like this get ignored? it is worth the discussion.

As far as TGC is concerned you are greatly helping development by bringing more users onboard and that is appreciated greatly.

I am not sure how the donation thing would work but maybe one of the team that deals with this will drop in and let you know.

I Am kind of with Imchasinyou on the donation thing...but with a suggestion I made before..



A $50 upgrade to Platinum maybe and thinking along the lines of TGC not having to create any goodies for this....You could give Platinum upgraders The full FPS Creator classic and FPS Creator X10 as downloadable versions of course.



Even though I have them myself already it would be an excuse to donate $50 without the Mrs giving me grief for just giving it away



And if it helps the cause and keeps Lee in biscuits we are all winners

I spoke with her....she said you can give me as much as you like.....honest.



Perhaps it might just be an idea to include some other packs for a Platinum Pledge..I am willing to bet TGC never thought we might throw some more cash at this project given the means.

A funny thing happened on the way to the forum...

Platinum pledge is an interesting idea. Though X10 has its issues. I think it be great if pledging Platinum gave you X amount of store credits/points.

That sounds Great !!

See what you can come up with ...I for one have 50 bucks here with TGC's name on it

Maybe more ...According to Rolfy



The reason I mentioned X10 is because its great to play with and trying to get a version is hell

Im not referring to an additional single instance. Im referring to an ongoing commitment to support TGC and the development of the program. I can do this pretty easily and subscriptions services are childs play to set up via PayPal. I have one set up for my members of the community "Gaming Clan" I run. If I can have a clan of roughly 50 members that support me in my endeavors to run the clan and provide servers, Im sure reloaded with thousands of users could contribute quite a bit!

I haven't seen any of this on the forums to be honest ?
I honestly think Lee involves everyone in a discussion and all requests / comments that im aware of have been considered and given good explanations..

Compared to many kickstarters I have been on this is a home from home with daily chatter..
Some kickstarter forums I haven't heard a peep from in 3 or 4 months ?

@wizard of id & E30Legend

I had deleted E30Legend's post on this as I thought it was only him that saw but too late I guess, seems more people have seen.

You will have to wait and find out for details

Sadly I don't miss a thing reloaded forum is a always open tab Besides it's more a curiosity, as to what that is all about, but sign up with or without the dirty details.

@Imchasinyou : I make it a point to stay out of the moderators way, lest I get a slap myself, but if you feel a slap was unfair and not covered under the usage policy, feel free to email me so I can make the situation a happy one. If it related to posts i

I'll send you an email Lee regarding my feelings and why I say what I say. I'd rather not bother you with emails though as you have better things to do! None the less, an email is on it's way.
