Hello DFB,

First I wanted to say hello and nice site.  I haven't really been here before except for links to your forums.  And also I've enjoyed playing with you guys and enjoyed being on your server.  I read the post on Maximus and LeaderX and wanted to contribute my two cents to the way the server is sometimes administered.

I am frustrated (as well as many in clan) with the accusations and sometimes general whininess and/or hostility (Not sure that's a word) of some of your clan members and admins.  It is frustrating to have someone accuse your members of cheating without providing proof that they cheat (This mostly happens to Silt but he is not alone).  Instead we get to hear people bitch and complain, whine and then log on as admin again and again as if they are going to kick/ban someone.  I personally think this is a pretty bitch move.  If you're gonna logon as admin then do something.   Most of this bullshit happens when I'm not online and I get to hear about it second hand (I'm not online as much I use to be) but I've seen it enough to know that it is happening.

To be honest I usually don't care and have learned that UT being UT there will always be kids (and sometimes adults) acting like kids.  I run an IT company here in San Diego and that usually keeps me pretty busy but I love UT and have enjoyed it for more than 10 years (Yes I'm old...lol).  I think the UT community is too small for bullshit in fighting.  I'd like to see our clans work together more and everyone have a good time, but I would like to see this childish behavior stop.  I know as admin/clan leaders you can't stop everyone or control everyone actions in your clan but can set a general temperament. 

If someone is going to accuse someone in my clan cheating please provide proof and/or send me an email and I will be happy to take action.  I don't approve of cheaters and will not tolerate it.   You can always contact me through UTForce.com and I will see to it.  To date neither I nor any of our clan admins have ever been approached or provided proof of cheating for anyone in our clan in 8 years (NoClan=&gt;NC=&gt;SDG=&gt;UTF is our UT tag history).  I'm not saying it can't happen but that's a pretty damn good track record.  All that being said...if you have no proof then please stop being a childish baby, shut up and play the game.

I've enjoyed playing with most of dfb and generally don't have a problem with you guys, in fact some of you are downright great people and I enjoy playing with (You know who you are!) but as they say it only takes a few bad apples...  In the past some of the members in UTF have done things that bothered or upset other people.  Actions were taken and as far as I can tell positive results have ensued.  I would like to see the same done in dfb.  I also hope relations improve and for our clans to do more things together.  The UT community is too small for in fighting.  Hopefully a positive dialogue can be set and forward progress can be made for both clans.


Thank you for your time and consideration for this very long post.  Please forgive grammatical or spelling errors.  Doing this on the fly at the office with chatty office manager and engineers in the background.
