Considering the amount of code churn in that commit, I'm sure it was just an oversight rather than anything malicious.

This has nothing to do with AlliedModders. Psychonic was just trying to help get our project back online.

The issue was about Kigen's copyright headers that he had in his KAC plugin. I've been quite busy lately and haven't had time to review the case, only to find that almost all of SMAC's project had been taken offline due to multiple DMCA takedowns. Because of these abusive actions, our entire bug tracker has been deleted and is unrecoverable, we've lost our code repository, and all documentation is offline.

With all of these issues piling up in a matter of days, everyone is going to have to be patient until things can be resolved. I'll keep everyone updated on these forums when I have more news.

Thanks.

I don't think his ban was fair, he just doesn't like his copyrights being removed. I wouldn't like that either.

I think its a bit childish for Kigen to attack this project with DMCA takedowns. I do understand he wanted his or his company's name on the source code. But still, there are many server owners who depend on this project.

Hope this get resolved and the project is brought back online.

He also eventually sent one in against AlliedModders, trying to get this whole site taken down.

Honestly not trying to stir up crap here.
My interest is in being constructive and to get things back on track.
Would it not be an appropriate and simple solution to put Kigen's copyright headers back?
This would place the code in compliance and no more need for DMCA action.
At this point it looks like an ugly pissing match.

I value the creative content that people share at AlliedModders.
SourceMod is invaluable as is the SMAC code and engine plugin items.
I also value peoples ability to protect there work.

Please ... Lets try and work this out.

The site ban is justified in that case.
