User talk:Tessa

The reason I responded to your addition of DFONexus to the page.

Because DFO Nexus is infamous for having many of the less pleasant sorts that DFO Source had, and just it being added reeked of a stunt to marginalize DFOC (many there have a grudge against it for a mix of reasons), something many would not put past the DFON population.

Up to date? That's a decent point as without MMS0208 around, DFOC's lacking its major kDnF information source and whatever precise information we do get is from whoever feels like translating bits of it. Hell in PvP knowledge they likely have DFOC beat, though I wonder if it's their heavy PvP leaning that's responsible for its infamous unpleasantness.

I would like to note that there's a decent number of Core users being among hte updaters (Space Fish, RocWiki, Me) and LuminantAegis, the person that sparked the modernization drive. DFON actually tried to get her to work on thier stuff, but she didn't care for it at all.

I wouldn't say DFOC has a grudge for the most part, just quick to warn people that DFON is a place where one posts at their own risk as there's a chance it'll provoke bad treatement for a long time. Now that I think on it, I'm a bit worried about what a partner ship might do to the wiki as I have no idea how far they'd go to spite others.

What I'm hoping is for this partnership not to negatively affect this site and people's ability to add information.--Fishman46 (talk) 17:39, 19 March 2015 (PDT)

I added DFONexus without intent to divide the community, but rather, in an attempt to unify it in a way. Some of the users you mentioned (LuminantAegis, Space Fish) appear to be involved with both DFOCore as well as DFONexus and don't appear to prefer one over the other, and I find this commendable. I myself don't hold a grudge against DFOCore, but in and of itself, I find it somewhat silly that, as a result of long past drama between users at DFOSource etc, it is necessary for us to have all these separate DFO forum communities in the first place. Part of my decision was based on the relationship of each forum's administrator with communities. My experience at DFONexus has been mostly positive, and I've found David's dealings with DFONexus as well as his past interactions with DFOCore to be both honest and pleasant. As you can see from the post, it appear that DFOCore's administrator has been less than honest in his portrayal of his interactions with David, which reflects somewhat poorly on the character of DFOCore's administrator. This doesn't necessarily reflect on the character of DFOCore's member base. As I am also not an active member there and do not personally know DFOCore's administrator or many of their members, I don't hold a grudge against them. I very much appreciate members of all DFO communities for making contributions to our wiki, and once again it is not my intent to further divide the community, but would prefer it much more if the various communities could clear up their differences and unify in some way, such as here.
