No doubt this flamewar will die down in time, like so many others before it.  There is a limited time to how long people can keep the flames up without choking on them.

No doubt that is what the_logos, and his new best buddies, the now admitted code-stealers Medievia, are calculating on.

But maybe they shouldn’t be too sure about this. The next smug post from the_logos, Soleil or any of their sock-puppets, will ignite the flames again. Medievia will probably not be able to use the review section as their new promotion board much longer. The ‘counter-reviews’ telling the truth about what their mud is founded on, (theft) are already starting to appear.

No doubt Medievia will soon be denying all reviews about their game, like IRE already are doing.

And let me make another prediction: Ms O’Hara may not be the only one leaving this board in protest, even if she was the first to take the stand. There are many more who are dissatisfied with the way these boards are turning and who heartily dislike having to wade through seas of flames and moronic promotion threads orchestrated by the_logos and his sock-puppets to get to the few worthwhile posts. Most likely we can look forward to similar sock-puppet threads from Medievia too, they have only just started.

The Medievia issue is something that most decent mud-related people feel very strongly about, because it not only violates a licence that most of us honour, it also violates our sense of right and wrong, of ethics and moral.

So maybe there will be a great number of posters deciding to leave in the next few weeks. Maybe these boards will end up being the sole playground of the_logos and his cronies, just like the ‘exclusive’ board for ‘professionals only’ that he once tried to start. We all know what happened to that board. It died, from lack of oxygen and fresh opinions.

And maybe this is what is going to happen to TMS too, if all the valid posters decide to take their discussions elsewhere.
