captain,
Please take the time to look at: (OFFLINE) Board Message
and see just how bad of a person blackdroid is. Those two forums that he's been kicked from obviously hes lying about not doing anything wrong. Have a nice life.
and billy and bd i hope you guys sleep well knowing your thief's."

Do yourselves a favor search out Pete or Fab try their stuff and enjoy life.
 
I just want the android community to settle down and return back to the way it was.

I agree...that's why I am taking donations to buy BD a HTC Droid Incredible...he has "created" far too much for us Moto Droid users and I think he should focus his talents on a new phone that I don't plan on owning! :D

I think the devs at XDA will enjoy being robbed :eek:..er..I mean working together with him.

Did you read the post? He brought this all on himself, the people that are mad at him now are some of his most devote followers, they are the ones who set up his website for him after he had gotten kicked off of his 2nd forum for stealing stuff. Now he got busted stealing stuff from the very people that supported him.

The Android community is fine, in fact apart from the small group of loyal BD fans I think this has brought the community even closer. Look no one is saying that ROM developers don't use stuff from everyone, however when they do you give credit where it is due PERIOD. CM has never once tried to claim that it is all his work, he tells you straight out that it is based on Google source, however CM has put a lot of work into adding new things to that source that makes it better.

Again what BD did was underhanded and from the looks of it he hasn't learned anything, that is why people are still talking about it. In terms of the community I have never seen the Devs tighter then they are now, you had the Dark Edge theme release a few days ago and the Devs of that have been very open to other Devs who want to include it in their ROMs... It's called communication and working together, something BD knows nothing about.

I say android community because of the recent activity with Alldroid.

Wasn't that more of a personal thing between the people who ran the website though? I really don't see that as having to do with the Android community, that was just one guy being a jerk... That happens everywhere...

I think what should show you about how close the Android community is, is the fact that they are working hard to get it back up and running...

Glad this thread started. Maybe it will reduce the infiltration of this topic to so many other threads. People are posting legitimate questions and by the 4th or 5th response (triggered by just a mention of Blackdroid or something similar) it is all downhill. If I was a NOOB searching for help I would be discouraged. Why not make THIS thread a sticky and keep the discussion limited to here?

That's a great Idea...sticky! We could keep track of all the wrong he's done in one location! I bet we could get CPR aboard that train :D

Wow if this becomes sticky better use super glue because it is going to get heavy in here. I never used it but I think it is sad and wrong that it happened. I totally support the devs that do the work and should be praised for the work they have for the droid. I think I might have gotten bored with it by now if it was not for them. Also makes me what to learn alittle more about what they do. Thanks to all that deserve it!!
