Default What can we do?

Greetings although I have never been a coder or a script writer or in anyway anything other then a novice eqemulator fan I feel very strongly that there ARE some simple things we can do to protect are collective projects.

Winters Roar did NOT fail it succeeded phenominally; however sony decided that due to its success it was a threat. When people post on the sony boards about an emulator project and they see people leaving becase of it THIS will draw a great amount of un-needed attention.

Think of the emulator project kinda the way you would about Fight club. First rule about the club is dont talk about it. We have a simply awesome community with probably more creative talent harbored between us all then all of sony combined. We dont need to tell everyone how good we are we simply should share what we have here and accept that it is good enough for our peers to know and recognize our work.

No matter how wildly successful are servers are we should refrain from giving sony any chance to kow how popular they are. From now on maybe NOT posting that you have 239 players on right now in x zone might be a good idea. We must for now at least pose as little visible threat to them as possible and meanwhile redouble our efforts to make the emulator even BETTER then it already is. A custom client for the game although an awesome idea probably wont be a viable idea any time soon and even if it became viable would ptentially still pose a threat to sony in one way or the other simply because of its relationship to this site and its contents. Lets do what we have been doing but use a bit more common sense when we are doing it.

I sincerely hope that wiz fights this to the highest court of whatever land he resides in and that sony loses so badly they never show there face in the emulator arena again...will that happen...probably not but I can hope.
