I could go on and on about Thorsten. He is a person who just doesn't like anyone say anything against his ideas. Just look at how many developers he has thrown away with his pompous behaviour.
This forum and the FGMembers organisation is the perfect example of how an open-source and GPL software should be maintained.
In the other forum, they use their moderator privileges to silence everything that may endanger the "official" framework. First they claimed that FGMembers was a hostile fork because FGMembers didn't contribute upstream. Later when they were given proof that FGMembers were ready to contribute in the beginning itself, they said that they were simply not interested in it.
Take the case of Josh's post :

Someone asked which scenery I used, so I answered honestly instead of lying like a b****.
Then I got this:bugman wrote:The following is a warning which has been issued to you by an administrator or moderator of this site.Your post about RJBB Kansai Intl is considered deliberate provocation. We all know that RJBB is one of the airports that the FGMEMBERS team set up to be deliberately superior to Terrasync, to catch as many users as possible in the last FlightGear festival event (to have the usable scenery, that could have been added to terrasync but deliberately was not, you had to switch to FGMEMBERS-TERRAGIT). You should consider your actions very carefully in the future.
What Bugman tried, was to hide the fact that a superior Scenery distribution method exists.
When we were developing Singapore with the new landclasses and airports, Side had posted some screenshots in the Media subforum.
Again What happened? They deleted the whole post!!
What does all this show?
They banned Israel and Jwocky, in the belief that FGMembers would be dead. But as you can see, it is well alive and kicking.
