Eloraam also said most of the hooks and such she's added have been "widely useful" for lack of a better term. It was somewhere in the comments on her blog. She seems to be attempting to stay out of the drama though.

I think everybody would be happy if Forge had "addons" for hooks and such. Don't want this or that? Fine, don't use it.

Plus, the Forge forum page explicitly says you can add more hooks to be incorporated into the base code if you want to.

This is an open-source project. If you need additional hooks and modification, feel free to talk to us and send a patch along. We're welcoming committers as well.

Even if they were only useful to her, other people can still submit changes if they want.  You've only got issues if change requests are being turned down for no reason.

You are allowed to modify Forge and distribute the modified version with your code, so long as you release the source for your modified version as well.  You'd still get conflicts if everyone did that, of course, but it's not like it's some horrible system where one person and one person alone gets control over where the api goes.  Heck, if someone really wanted they could probably start up a splinter version that they controlled. (No one should though, because that would be incredibly silly)

Yah, it is and has been open source. Almost all of this drama is very simply FlowerChild complaining for the sake of more attention and drama because he's an irritating twerp. Eloraam has responded on her own blog and had pretty reasonable responses - she will respond to requests and has made a grand total of two additions for things she wanted in RedPower specifically - one of which is being removed in the next version anyway and the other being useful for other mods anyway. The reason why it seems like Eloraam has 'monopolized' the developlment: she's the only one volunteering time to working on it.

The problem with splitting it off and making it modular is of course then it defeats the whole modAPI compatbility purpose. Why have it at all if you're working to add more ways in which will make stuff incompatible again.

So, did anyone see this?

Valve gave notch the rarest ever hat

Y'know, I kinda hope that Notch is the only one to get that hat. I'd love it for myself, but imagine playing a game and suddenly THIS HAT shows up. You will know that you are playing with a minor legend.

That's the idea.

That is Notch's Hat. He owns the only one in existence. Can't be traded away, or gifted, or made via crafting. Period.

@Hat: LOL
@Eloraam/Forge: More flexibility is never a bad thing

You know, FlowerChild has done crap like this before.  Several times.
Seriously, am I the only one that knows this?  Seems like it.
I have been blatantly refusing to use BetterThanWolves for most of its existence; the time before that was spent incompatible with Buildcraft or other mods I wouldn't give up for it.
An arrogantly-named mod by a self-absorbed idiot, if I do say so myself.

No, his bullshit is really well known amongst SA Goons and such. He freaked out when Yogscast fans started asking him to allow his mod in their modpack for instance, and really flipped his shit at Technic

Someone really needs to gift Notch a name tag, so he can call it Notch's Tip Top Top Notch

[Briggsy16]

There's been an unofficial release of the Technic Pack for 1.8.1 if anyone is interested. Everythings been updated.

[Seriyu]

Oh-ho. Just on the technic website I assume?

EDIT: Yes!

[Briggsy16]

Indeed it is.
