[ the dream is dead ] - again...

[viper2040]

<span style='font-size:10pt;line-height:100%'>Looking through this thread and through the rash of new topics that have come up around the forum, I see a lot of anger, and a lot of people saying things like "what a waste of time--now we're shut down"...well, in my opinion, this site was anything BUT a waste of time.

Over the past two and a half years, TmyApp and LeftyFB have created a community of over 50,000 fans and inspired numerous other forums, fansites, and clans. As the site grew, so to did these fan creations. Many of the veterans can remember the first such site, Senshukentaikai, which started the fan created community. More recently, a new forum has appeared which rivals in popularity the official forum--Battlegrounds. It is my opinion that these sites were not popular soley because of the online site, but rather because of the enthusiam of Marvel and Capcom fans. Thus, the site going down indefinately, while unpleasant, need not be the end of our community.

There has also been much anger at marvel for their actions against us, but I would like to make it understood that we are not the only site that has been targeted by Marvel. Some people flame Marvel as a way of taking out their frustration, but let us not forget that it was them who provided us with such characters as Onslaught, Wolverine, Spiderman, and Sentinal.

I hope I speak for us all when I say that it has been loads of fun, and yet I do not see TMyApp as someone who would roll over this easily....while Marvel does indeed have copyrights, they are not Capcom, and thus parts of the site are still fine. In anycase, no matter what happens, I do not feel that this site has been in any way a waste. TMyApp has never done anything in this site as a way of raising time, or for ANY personal gain. He has done it SOLEY for you, the loyal fans, in the hope that people would appreciate and enjoy his program.

While it may seem that this site is dead, knowing TMyApp, I'm sure that he will find some way of bringing it back online, even if it means removing the Mrvel characters. Perhaps we can eventually make Marvel see that we intend this site only as a fan based tribute to their creative genius, but until then, we need to sit tight. Again, this need NOT be the end. The site may be down, but the community is still as strong as ever. Rather than being angry about the events that are taking place, I think we should look back on the wonderful experience we all have had playing Xmen Vs Streetfighte Online. We have had two and a half years of entertainment--a VERY long time in computer gaming--and it would be a waste to forget that. In my opinion, this community has been nothing but a stunning success. So if you decide to leave this community, I hope that it is not with anger, but with appreciation.

So whatever happens to this site or this forum, I hope that you have enjoyed the site while it lasted. It is a pity that the site has had to be shut down, but nothing is forever.

*sigh* well... guess this is the end after all.... And I really wanted Akuma....( not really, I was mad that everybody keeps voting for ryu-like charatcers) anyway, thats not the point, so Tmyapp... is it really true that you lied to us about Marvel knowing what you were doing? because it said in the letter that the copywrite notice on the bottom right corner of the site was not approved by Marvel, or something like that. Also, can you like go to court or something. i dunno if that could help... and besides, what kind of "information" were you giving out that they didn't want anybody to know about? hiw to do the charatcer's moves? there are hundreds of fansites that focus on the arcade versions of X-men vs. Streetfighter, and i don't think those sites were shut down too... i don't know what their problem is.. i don't think changing the names of the characters would do much.. sorry tmyapp that your dream failed... but anyway, thank you for all your hard work, and i'll never forget you( whoever you are, becasue you blocked out your real name). well... bye.

hey i'm kinda pissed about this... just look at the constitution and this is wrong... this is intervening with the persuit of happiness! I think if we took this to the supreme court we could win... i doubt any of us here would stand for the cause, but i'm sure that marvel is wrong in this cuz like i said... part of the rights as an american citizen is being happy... Later all
