Freelancer petition!

lol, i messed my signature up first time around XD

I subscribed. We may should publish this list/petition at every FL related page + server sites?

Sry but ill not subscribe there as i dont see the sense in it, also i dont think that MS will ever release the SC!

I think that MS wants FL to die, here are some of the reason that make me thinking why:
-The GS support stoped a few months before the offical end
-A few people have tried different ways to get the FS back online or at last the software for it, this would cost MS nothing but …
-Somewhere I’ve seen that crazy tried to get the original adresse of the original GS for his GS but MS denied or didn’t answer

Trust me they will not release the SC because your petition, if they ever do so they do it because they get something out of it!
No offense but noone at MS cares about us FL fans

I’m also not going to sign it, I have signed one more than once in my time of Freelancer, and it had many many more signatures than you can ever hope to gain on yours.

Good luck all the same

If it makes sence or not, that’s not the question.
It don’t cost money to sign and try to safe FL.
It cost only 3 sec time, nothing more, nothing less.

And never shot is always miss
Maybe one day MS get bored from all the “spam” about free the open source that they give it

I have signed. Only i couldn’t fill in the land from where i come. Parently people from the Netherlands don’t play or don’t count

And i post the petition on our forum to. Hope you will succeed

“bored”? I’m sorry, but do they even KNOW about this petition? Probably not. Will they ever will? Probably not either.

If you want to bug them, spam their email/tech support. Acting indirectly will never work if the person/group affected doesn’t even know about the actions in the first place. Petitions rarely work, and when they do it’s because they got covered by a TON of large places like news networks.

-The GS support stoped a few months before the offical end

Yep, because of Azza and Knife right?

-Somewhere I’ve seen that crazy tried to get the original adresse of the original GS for his GS but MS denied or didn’t answer

They did answer, they are not going to redirect the DNS to an unsecured server.

I think we should try to get publicity. This increases the possibility that we can get MS to do somethings.
(Maybe we can get this to PC magazines - Just a thought/idea.)

I am asking myself, wouldn’t it be better if we change the petition that they should redirect the DNS? Or that they at least update the links at the FL/MS page? (not sure about how much TLR is helping them)
Or that they could leave a message about the GLS Workaround at the page or just something like that.
(Maybe some of you could try to your contacts to Microsoft…)

I signed ;D and i’ll get onto PCPP (PC Powerplay) in Australia about writing something in the mag about saving FL (some of the writers still love FL) but I in no way am getting my hopes up about the SC

… here’s an idea… Bill gates has quit MS and now does alota charity work… methinks any FL modder is either “insane” or well on the way to becoming “insane” so why dont we form a “save the modders” charity and ask for the SC as a “donation” from billy boy … crazy yes… but then thats just me…

;D … nice idea m8.

Maybe create a charitable foundation
about - say - creative, educational, non 1st person shooting gaming,
M$ could donate the FL source worth 1,3 billion to
and safe a little taxes with that gracious act.

THAT might motivate such a benevolent person like BG.

just a bit off topic, i like that sig bar of urs, can i use it? (the BSOD one, i get ALOT of BSODs :P)

just have posted this also on the

Freelancer News Entry on ModDB

distress makes creative ;D

wait

but then i would be in distress all the time ;D
