and what of the people who just got into the Palishard for the fun and got caught up in this mess.
I am not too familiar with the Admins of Palishard, and do not know one way or another if what they say about him is true. if the evidence is clear I think this would be the perfect opportunity for him to show the whole community that even though his history may be a questionable one within the the Myst community he can take responsibility for what he has done, repair the damage as much as possible and move on.
Shutting the site down makes everybody using it suffer for the wrong doing of one person.
When you boil it down its all illegal, arguing that my shard is more legal then yours or more morel then yours is kinda weird.
this may be one of the many problems that will be encountered if and when open source happens, use this as a learning opportunity becouse if we are incapable of solving a issue like this, if it ever happens in the future we will still not know how to deal with it
