Modding, copyright, and related issues.

Firstly. Perhaps I was too harsh with my criticism of 5.5. I'm not 100% sure that they are actually taking other people's resources and using them in their project. That's why I was asking you about it. Secondly. Can you show me where I "labeled" you? Because I don't think I did. I can't say the same about you in relation to me. You called my work "complete nonsense," "a fan project," "copycat," and other things. But I'm not easily offended. Regarding the negativity, there's also this: negativity in text messages often arises from how they are read. In any case, I try to ensure that your "positive" comments about the fan project don't hinder constructive dialogue. Please try to ignore all this negativity where I mention that you're a fan of the 5.5 mod. Seriously, how exactly could I have offended you in my messages? Thirdly. Even if I'm "wrong" in your opinion about how I'm solving the problem, my actions have some objective benefit. At least one person has learned how to convert models using my guide, and at least one large group will now be posting links to the authors of the modifications, which will make it at least a little easier for these authors to see that their work is appreciated. I'm not trying to brag; I just want you to listen. Perhaps there is some merit to the overall message of my actions? Perhaps if we all put in this effort, the situation could actually change for the better? Added 5 minutes later

See a problem - solve it.

That's exactly what I'm doing, to the best of my ability. But I can't single-handedly change the existing, established rules. I want us to solve the common problem together, which is why I keep writing about it on the forum. Plus, I really don't want to spend even more nerves and energy on this, which is already a time-consuming hobby. Seriously, I've almost disappeared from real life for the past two months. What am I even doing this for? Is it so that all these, already small, efforts to help the community will be nullified by messages like "what are you whining about?" "large mods are the best" "and the group is a great replacement for dead forums?" Is all of this really necessary?
