[QUOTE="xenon2000, post: 9361"] [b]Option or not... it's just a feature request, not a promise[/b] Well, I don't see how having it an option would kill the project as if it was a complex and ever involving option. And as for "people taking advantage of us by releasing it without telling..." It's opensource, if someone wanted to do that, they could just do that without it having that feature. Maybe I haven't read the GPL close enough, but I am pretty sure removing a splash screen isn't against the GPL. And again, it's opensource... if someone is going to take advantage, they will do it either way. Now don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't think those who work on MP shouldn't be recognized. But realistically, skins and startup logos isn't where the recognition is anyways. Actually, if this is opensource, what is stopping someone from removing the splash screen or making it optional and then putting that online for download. That is what the opensource project is all about right. Personally, I don't care either way... not like I spend lots of time exiting and starting MP over and over again and can't stand it... it's not that at all. I am just posting a few different views on this thread topic. If it's not optional and MP never gets released that way. I don't care. And if it does... that's fine too. Though seems a little short tempered to just flat out say it's not going to happen. Maybe it will... just not right now. I still think it's a simple option to add and it won't kill the project. Though I also feel it's a pointless thing to argue about. It's just a feature request section... not a "feature promise me now" section. Add it or not, it's just an idea from the masses. [/QUOTE]
