*Ahem*
Edit: Just a note that this was split from this discussion on MOUL security.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
But alas, the discussion eventually devolved into a bunch of grave-digging and bone-slinging, as people who've been spurned by Cyan for whatever reason in the past quickly stepped up to remind us all how charitable they are and horribly they've been treated.

When I first read Chacal's opening post, my first thoughts were: "And a pony!". Then I thought, "No, I won't post that. The first responses to this topic look like they're constructive and this is going somewhere." But alas, the discussion eventually devolved into a bunch of grave-digging and bone-slinging, as people who've been spurned by Cyan for whatever reason in the past quickly stepped up to remind us all how charitable they are and horribly they've been treated.
I really don't know what to expect. I'm skeptical of Cyan being as open as Chacal would hope... but on the flip side of the coin, perhaps Cyan will be more co-operative if they can find a group of talented volunteers whose egos aren't over-sized and/or easily bruised. I know there are some people with those traits among the writers.

BAD wrote:We simply wanted to make sure that we learn from past experience (you know, actual experience dealing with Cyan). No one was going on about mistreatment.
