I know I'm behind the times but ... can someone explain the IPS / Vertex / new forum thing people keep referencing? "FU"?

Freedom United (http://www.freedom-united.com/) it's just another forum specifically for FF Modding... A place for getting advice on meshes/skins/voicepacks/maps and so forth but without any language censorship (which does make it more adult in nature). It's intended to be a place like HQ's old forum was.. which is part of why he is a mod there. Some folks are apparently getting the idea that alternative forums other then Freedom Reborn are because members are breaking away from the community because of disagreements or huge fights that have occured lately. We are there because of worry that FR would be attacked by hackers again or the server would crash and we would still have a place to get FF material.. no other reason. If anyone thinks that Freedom United will be uneffected by IPS's actions then they have got be kidding themselves.

Particularly considering the forum is hosted on IPS' webspace...

Correct, He can pull the plug at any time (and we have yet to hear from Vertex here but he is probably pretty mad)... I'm sure if he leads Marvel/DC to FF mod sites then any FF site he endources would undermine his position that we are "bad people" for modding games using existing characters and he is an "artist" who just painted on meshes... there are artists here that make skins for FF that no longer play it as well. Not to mension that the place he works would not like the idea of getting C&D letters for stuff on his own webspace.. which probably makes sense why he removed all FF stuff from his own site. Cover his own arse first.. My apologies for getting upset.. but reading all these replies is working me up.

Well, he removed his FF site a while ago during the mod drama, so this latest issue wasn't the reason it is gone, though I don't know if his mediafire stuff is still up. Regardless, his portfolio still shows FF skins and there's still evidence of his work outside of this site, so if he does go forward with anything, he'd still be in the line of fire. This is ultimately why I think he didn't contact Marvel or DC as he'd be at immediate risk himself.

So does anybody think he's reading this thread, because if he is 

Definitely. If you're cowardly enough to pull this type of stuff, you'd want to sneak back and look at the results.

Besides, Freedom Reborn is indestructible, and impervious to viruses, self-righteous jerks and everything short of nuclear fallout.

I agree.  Let us not give IPS=(Italian Porn Star{Family Forum} The further satisfaction of reading his results.  MODS: PLEASE, DO NOT CONTINUE TO FUEL THE FIRE.  PLEASE, LOCK THIS THIS THREAD!  Let us not lose site of the importance.  One man can not destroy us!

Guys, let's not turn this thread into a flame fest, okay?

You were all warned by an Administrator not to flame. This is going downhill fast.

I'm locking the thread.
