Hi,

I am new here and I admit I use NFSFAN's ROM. I have tried quite a few others, but quite frankly his ROM just work for me. Now after having read through 7 page of pounding, I'll admit, his work may be unethical and if this turn out to be true, I would happily flash back to OMJ's, but that's not why I am writting this post. Like I said, I am new to this forum so I don't the history between NFSFAN and fellow members, but one thing I do know after reading through all 7 pages is that this forum is not at all and far from being fair. I am in no way defending the guy, but as a casual observer, where is his side of the story? Was he banned? To jump all over him while he was bounded and gagged does not give your claim any credibility.
Just my 2 cents.

until i find one i will stick with nfsfans roms even if that means getting them at ppchaven.
i also personally like usb2pc name better it sounds more professional and generic enough to not stand out
and you all have to admit its not like its called NFSusb so i woulnt say he stole credit more erased all credit
personally i consider it not stealing/plagiarism more a misrepresentation

lay off him
could have been worse

definetly something very very odd to say in a situation where the rom developer is in hot water. I understand that you may like his work, but at the time that you hear that his work is "illegal" and unethical, you should definetly abandon support for such individual.

No wonder when i started developing my rom in its early stages and logged onto the ppckitchen chat everyone would say "please kick his *** in his roms".

After that I started wondering why this was the case. I spoke to a few senior members at that point and then found out that the certain individual requests help and then leaves the chat. The next time he'll come on, is to ask for help only. No contributions of any sort other than rom "developing".

Going so far as using someones work and not crediting them is one thing. But trying to blatently steal someones hard work, and then claiming it to be your development is SEVERELY unethical. Its just like stealing songs and changing the lyrics.

Regardless of that, NFSFAN apparently suggests to his rom users that if they download any other rom they might run into problems. TO be very honest, thats clear garbage, and I hit that down when that whole ' Mixxy's ROM causes DATA charges".

Im sorry, but I'm very glad what happened, happened. ANd I hope there arent any more posts as above, which try to justify stealing. Our mods, and everyone else put in hard work into these apps and programs. The least u can do is thank someone.

No2chem, JD, poorlyduck, sbr, sauman, OMJ, yay, ALL MODS, WDM, AND ANYONE ELSE IVE MISSED WHOS DEVELOPED ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING FOR US.

This is a thanks to all you who developed and supported users and EVEN ROOKIE DEVELOPERS, with all their work.

I mean do you all remember I caught dude using my work, not only mines but No2Chem and several others.

Anyways No2chem expect one of these:

Now I hope you all understand when I typed:


Too Many Wannabe's

No Credit

let me welcome you to the forum first.

Thanks for your input in this matter, though I do not agree with your side, you still have the right to post. Fair isnt having to spend days and days on an app that you develop for the community and having it being claimed to be someone elses work.

The fact that the certain individual was banned, wasnt due to using an app without a credit, but it was because the certain app was BLATENTLY and PURPOSELY changed so that the dev could justify the work as his own. Usually in a forum, an experienced dev such as the individual should know better than to do such a thing. And the reason his side of the story isnt here, is because this individual has chose his own path when he chose to steal others work. And No2Chem isnt an amateur developer, hes a mastermind, and personally, if he went through all the trouble, POSTED all the evidence and then showed that THIS is how the individual STOLE his work, I do not question the ban, or his evidence AT ALL.

Huh? A cheater? Nawwwww...... they dont exist! After all.... the moon is made out of cheese. Isn't it?

Now I ask....why is this stickied? This is not informative at all.....all this is doing is ruining someone's reputation and credibility....thsi should have been done privately, not put up in public for everyone to see and put his name EVERYWHERE. This was not handled correctly at all.....

This should have been address to everyone using an example of what happened and telling them not to do it....not put exactly what happened and who did it.....the Admins should know better than to let a Mad Mod sticky this just out of anger....

And Yay 4 Juggs I do quote you saying, Stickies are reserved for informative Threads ONLY.....not rants and reputation destroyers....

This is pretty disappointing. I've talked to NFSFAN many times on MSN and every time hes taken credit for "devoloping" new features (like USB2PC).

Can somebody recommend a ROM that I can use to replace NFSFAN's? I don't feel good about using stolen material.
