As @VistaLover pointed out, porn is one of the most common uses of the World Wide Web - nothing to be ashamed of! I held back as I haven't a clue how comfortable folks here are about those themes. I guess it's irrational since they could see right away if they followed the link. 9 hours ago, Mathwiz said: Absolutely true, but not an answer to the question. Nothing @roytam1 is doing is holding MC back. There's no reason for hostility now that MAT has left. Is there still hostility between Moonchild and roytam1? I meant to refer to the fact that they couldn't cooperate in the same way Moonchild cooperates with other developers since Moonchild wouldn't want the platform to cater to the lowest common denominator. I do agree there's no harm in roy doing his own thing. I don't follow closely so I've no idea if roytam1 sometimes also makes pull requests to the upstream when it come to common, not platform-specific code. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was the exact point I raised earlier... 5 hours ago, UCyborg said: I've no idea if roytam1 sometimes also makes pull requests to the upstream when it come to common, not platform-specific code. AFAIAA, roytam1 has not (yet?) submitted any PR upstream, nor do I know whether he has any inclination to do so in the future ... And whether such an eventual PR relates to common code (between "our" UXP-fork and the "upstream" platform) or not, "upstream" do mandate that all issues & PRs submitted to their repo have been reproduced/tested on their "approved" application(s)... Some years ago, when MCP hosted their repos on GitHub, I had directly filed there a few issues discovered in NM28, with the note "I expect them to be 100% reproducible in PM, too"... All Moonchild had to do was try my STR in "his" browser; instead, I was frowned upon, my report disregarded, until I provide actual proof of the issue on PM itself ... I couldn't run PM in my OS of choice, so I then gave up ... Edited February 12, 2023 by VistaLover 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, looking back at all this, the "decision" of one member here to "shorten" (in order to "sanitise") a reference to a, otherwise popular , website has led to so many additional posts by other members here, including me, that only remotely (if at all) touch the subject of this thread ... Posts "exploded" to all aspects of human endeavour, i.e. natural sciences, history, linguistics, particular aspects of specific languages, education, Roman numerals, coins, ethics/morality, psychic health, addictions, human relationships/[pre-]sex, anything else I neglected? Even suggestions to not "avalanche" to further OT posts were disregarded, it appears... Each and every one of the above is a very interesting topic to converse about , however I humbly think here is not the most appropriate "place"; I, as much as anybody, can live with "a few" OT comments among a majority of posts with substance/relevance to the main subject(s) discussed in a dedicated thread; more than "a few" and I picture "trains de-railed" ... At the same time, some members here wonder why "these" threads reach so quickly the 200-page threshold ... (I'm also subscribed to these threads via e-mail notifications, "OT" posts also cram my inbox (and disk space, as I use a dedicated client, not webmail), so even more personal time needed to devote on sorting out the "valuable" from the "OT" e-mails...) Again, this is only my personal view on things, I don't expect all the rest to abide by it, but I'm entitled to it, aren't I? (NB: Don't do it; don't start another "OT avalanche" due to this post of mine; "reactions" (positive, only) are there for a reason.)
