Shadowstrider I mean no offense to you at all since I didnt see you acting bizarre on that board but to put it bluntly good ole Ken comes off as being a paranoid, whining, megolomaniac.

my first post, but I have been reading("lurking") for awhile. I feel that TeamBG community has been given a bad name. I was(until recently) an editor for TeamBG and I am going to defend it. When you do something that is frowned upon by places like Planet Baldur's Gate it is hard to get recognition, when in fact I have spoken to BIS and BioWare employees who use our products.

Anyway my main problem is Lady Rae made TeamBG out to be a den of flames and trogladytes or something. TeamBG isn't a bad place, Ken(founder) is just a little abrasive(then again so am I)
Shadowstrider, I have only visited TeamBG myself, never did register. I have observed many things though on the Team BG site (lurker if you will). Myself, I have no qualms with Ken at all, as it is his forum and he can do as he pleases (freedom of speech!). I know Ken has probably put in a lot of hard work and time keeping up his website to help and entertain people. I do not wish to see any kind of animosity that others might have inspired between TeamBG and our Ironworks. I have no idea what you mean about LadyRae, as I guess I missed that one. Know please though that Ironworks members AS A WHOLE though, is a very friendly respectful group of people who mean no ill will towards TeamBG. We are all, after all, rpg lovers at heart,and have much in common. So sorry to hear that you were offended (as I said, guess I didn't see that one).

Nice to meet you btw

Shadowstrider: Most of the posts regarding TeamBG have fallen through the pages. If you wish to see the full discussion (which I don't know if you do -- it isn't any more flattering toward TeamBG, not nasty, just not flattering) look on the 2nd page for threads started by myself or Stealthy.

I think all of us are impressed with the efforts of TeamBG. They have provided a lot for the Infinity Engine community and I would defend their work furiously. However, many of us who posted there while the Ironworks was down, were caught off guard by the extent of Ken's abrasiveness. Compared to what we are used to, the atmosphere at TeamBG is quite different.

well you're pretty much saying we're guilty by association then aren't you? TeamBG consists of about 5 guys(no one is really sure except ken)

Todd(gustov montessi)
Cat
Grog
CuChoinneach
Ken

While Ken(the webmaster) maybe be abrupt, that doesn't mean all of teamBG is.

Hmmm, I missed all that too. I must confess I've only been there once or twice though, and that was some time ago. I hope there's no prob's between the sites.

Hi Shadowstrider btw

One love, peace.
