Revora is hosting and community based. DS is product and employee (for lack of a better word) based. 2 different ways of working. To try and be the best at both hosting mods and mod products would be very hard.
Can you even name the old exec's

First of all FedNet is a brand. FedNet has PR. Every oldie modder know or was registered at FedNet... They will have a good attention just because it has the same name and there are same guys in charge. There were some tries to recreate FN under the name of "Stardust Studios" but I always hated it... Dunno why thou.

Detail and Hybrid, No offence but if all the old Exec's got back together it would own Revora, and Derlict Studios
You won't see this ex-vice executive return. Never.
And FedNet has no PR, it lost all its credibility after dying, what, three times? I will boycott it if it threatens DS. And I'm serious, because Marsh has no reason to be doing this, not in the C&C community.

But still...why are you taking such a harsh view of it, Godwin? So what if it is competition for Dere (tho I doubt it'll do that...)? Doesn't Revora or the DEN net do the same thing?
Besides, most of the Derelict-hosted people are the bloody staff OF Derelict, because it's one of those exclusive places. Therefore nobody's gonna be leaving Dere to go there. The only OTHER way to get hosting there is to save the life of a Dere member. Or something

Of course there'll also be competition as they aim for the next wave of C&C-esque RTS games, but it's all in the air when BFME is still barely moddable, and we don't even know if EAW can be.
You're right in saying that we're well established and have a good running record in these 2 years, but anything can happen, and with the kind of stuff I'm hearing people "hail the return" of FedNet, it's sickening...
PS. What I say here, will stay here, if I find that this gets out there, or even worse if I end up being misquoted, I'll lose all faith in Revora and the integrity of its staff and hosted members.

Except that, those who have been saying "Hail the return of FedNet", said the same thing the last 3 times with almost the same intensity...so im not worried about it. Besides, when you involve cash on services, you pretty much lose a lot of attention that free providers gain.

I've never known of FedNET before but I can't stand the whole modding studios idea anyway and if it's anything like DS I will just completely ignore it. I know some people here are members of DS but I really can't stand them (DS, not the people here). They protrude this whole aura of greatness which I just find sickening. Yes they do some great work, but modding shouldn't be about competition, it should be about letting people express their ideas. I wouldn't care if nobody downloaded my mod, the self satisfaction from finishing it would be enough and seeing what I thought of in a game. DS just seems to want to obliterate every other mod out there rather than help others. It's a disgrace to modding in my opinion, i'm not here to compete, i'm here to help others achieve their potential, not parade around saying how much better I am than everyone else.
Let's go back to communities and get rid of this whole Studios crap.

It's one thing I've always hated about the CnC Community. This whole, DO IT YOURSELF!!! mentality. There is no friendliness in it. People request help, nobody gives it, just telling them to learn how to do it yourself... it's very depressing. If you check other communities like UT and such, they all jump in to help fellow modders.
I too dislike the elitism of DS. I don't go there, but I know what you mean. Some of them are more than a little arrogant and it's hard not to feel like they're trying to blow their nose on you or something.
Oh, and Godwin, for the record, what me and AGT have said stays here... I don't see why you were so bothered about that. I didn't see an overt Revora bashing. Infact I didn't fully understand a lot of ur post. How can it be a monopoly? If anything Revora has the biggest monopoly on CnC community projects, followed closely by Freedom Studios and SavageWar...

And this competition thing is ridiculous. Most of C&C players who played mods, played more than one or have more than one in their machines. There are several projects that I like and I help and I believe several people does the same. So, this whole competition thing is ridiculous, stupid.

I'm pretty certain that you're not allowed to sell a mod due to the massive EULA you sign when installing any game these days removing essentially what all your rights as a consumer are. Any attempt to sell a mod would result in the massive lawsuit hammer falling quicker than you could say your mod's name. Modding will never be a paid work area, yes it would be great if we did, but I think we all came to modding to have some fun, to make some of our ideas and show them off to the world (or the small bundles of it that play them) rather than make some money from it.

Please go read the DS "about page" to find out just why we do it.
DS was never about competition, isn't, and won't be. If you're talking about the merging and absorbing of mods, it's to consolidate talent and resources, not to outdo everyone else. If we see someone who has the skills, and has a similar idea to one of the DS mods, why leave him to waste time to form another team when he can just work on this mod?
I wouldn't care if nobody downloaded my mod, the self satisfaction from finishing it would be enough and seeing what I thought of in a game.
If you finished it. Besides, no one would download it if it were a lousy mod. You basically just described modding as an ego boosting exercise.
DS just seems to want to obliterate every other mod out there rather than help others.
Examples? Examples of "obliterated mods"?
I certainly do not appreciate the way you just bashed DS, get your facts straight before trying to start a fight. Don't say you weren't starting a fight, because it's rather clear that there are DS staff here, so if you want to say those things, please say it in private.
It's one thing I've always hated about the CnC Community. This whole, DO IT YOURSELF!!! mentality. There is no friendliness in it. People request help, nobody gives it, just telling them to learn how to do it yourself... it's very depressing.

Firstly, DS isn't about helping individual people.
Secondly, you cannot compare it with the UT mod community, we're just not at that level, be it skill or maturity, even within DS, so there.
Oh, and Godwin, for the record, what me and AGT have said stays here... I don't see why you were so bothered about that.
What I said was towards those who may relay this to FedNet, because there are clearly supporters around. I don't see why you're getting so paranoid. No one was bashing Revora.
And read my post, I never said DS, or anyone for that matter, held the monopoly. I was talking about FedNet upsetting the balance. If Detail and Arg got the idea, I don't see why you can't.
One last thing, if everyone worked alone in a "community", nothing will be achieved because no one learns anything from someone else. You obviously haven't been around long enough to know of what kind of a sad state the TS and RA2 modding scene was... so please do not start to comment on how DS is "doing things wrong".
