Brainstorming Appreciation

General Discussions
#1

Riven’s evil post made me think more about the people who lack appreciation/recognition for there contributions to this fantastic community. And so I would like to call out the following individuals:

ChrisM - Started it all, the one thing I regret about my JavaOne visit a few years back was not having the courage to introduce myself. I loved your response and you should totally re-post it here.

princec - Your tireless struggle to make a career out of this has been inspiring to us all.

MarkusPersson - Where did you go?

KevGlass - When you get as rich as Markus I’m pretty sure you’ll still visit.

Appel - Turned Java4K into the phenomenon that it is.

Riven - You gloriously evil bastard.

Anyone I’ve missed?

Didn’t kappa make the resource page? http://www.java-gaming.org/index.php?action=resources

I totally forgot Kappa, his contributions to LWJGL alone merit a shout out, Matzon also in that vein definitely deserves a mention. I’m sure there are a ton of less vocal members of the community who deserver much more recognition than they get.

Hey thanks alot :stuck_out_tongue: Appel/jojoh are doing an awesome job (and the new site is better than mine was!), but to toot my own horn here, I ran the 2005, 2006, and 2007 seasons! which - except for 2009 - were the most popular in contest history

#5

I knew the second I started singling people out I’d offend via omission. The list was just off the top of my head and I know there are many more, I was hoping others would point some out.

#6

Nah, no offense here :slight_smile: I don’t expect to go down in JGO history while I lurk 90% of the time :wink:

#7

I believe princec is the one that began LWJGL and Matzon/Kappa continued developing it.

#8

Rather a lot of contribution from Elias and Spasi made that happen too. I just kicked it off and wandered off to start using it. Honestly, I’m way overrated - I just talk too much.

Cas :slight_smile:

#9

I think [you] deserves a mention.

(Sorry, just wanted to see if that trick works outside of the other thread. :wink: )

#10

Why, thank you! ::slight_smile:

(Sorry, just wanted to let you know that you’re an ass.)

#11

;D

#12

This is eventually going to end up like Being John Malkovich ::slight_smile:

Cas :slight_smile:

#13

When I get that lifetime achievement trophy on stage, maybe in Las Vegas because I like slot machines, from the JGO community, I’ll cut it in half and give woogley it. The other half I’ll give to [you].

Ok, getting old :slight_smile:

Can someone please disable the you-thing? I’m feeling humiliated as it is!

#16

[you] is a bit thin-skinned :stuck_out_tongue:

#17

[you] is not!

#18

Thin-skinned? What does that even mean? Low natural damage reduction %? I’m gonna wear my full kewlar (SPELLED CORRECTLY (YES IT IS)) vest all the time from now on, to compensate for my thin skin.

#19

Please someone link me to the original joke I am the brunt of. :slight_smile:

Also I am thin-skinned from sitting at a desk all day. Or at least pale.

Lollerskates. I think I get it now, having read Riven’s thread. How do I use this magic script?

#20

[you] should use [ you ]

remove the spaces
[ y o u ]
or
remove the periods [.y.o.u.]


[you]
