This how thing with captain is getting me… well, worried. I was actually drafting a reply to him when I realised he probably wouldn't take anything other than deletion of the site as a good reply. The guy shows no emotion about any of this. It's all one sentence demands and a cold disregard to the community. So far I've sent him nothing. I'm waiting for his next move.
I started this site as a way to learn PHP and site building skills. Six months later and here we are. Reading a blog on a site that I've spend a lot of my time on and came to love. I've meet some very nice people and have some real lasting friendships. I thank you all. Now captain just wants it "taken down".
If I put on my srs face, I wonder what he will do. I've removed all traces from Vuii.co.uk and made some changes that I've been wanting do to for a while now. The global password is gone, replaced by a blank login page. I hope and doubt that he won't go ranting to my hosters. I think he is calling my bluff, but it's hard to tell when captain is always so serious about everything. The only time I ever hear from him is when he's angry with me about something, or when he's giving a one word reply to something I've PMed him.
The legal water is murky when it comes to all this. I doubt he'll try to take legal action against all this. Google brings up a 
few things about this.
The obvious way out is to redouble the efforts of remaking the front end. The problem is I have little to no real html/ css design skills. So it'll probably be pretty nasty looking. I originally made VuTales out of the code of MMOTales for this reason, and also to bridge the gap between the sites. VuTales is like the freakish mutated clone of MMOTales. I also somewhat like the site as it is. It's got a nice feel to it. Although I am working on a nice new theme to take my mind off all this. I work when I'm stressed. Remember all the updates recently? That was because I had exams. >.<

I’m liking that main page thingy.
Yeah, that guy’s a really tough nut to crack. I doubt reasoning with him about the community and what it means to use will work with him, but maybe changing it enough or giving him credit will work. He seems unreasonable, but maybe he has a heart. He lives a total double life as a site-maker and a music artist, and what we learned about the latter wasn’t enough to reveal to use about who he is as a person. >.<
yeah, the main page isn’t bad.
I’m sure we’ll all help you, if we can. 😛
That skin looks awesome!
Chillax, Vusys.
We’ll manage most likely. :3
Just take a break and stuff. You need to chill. :3
Also, if you ever need help, just ask us.
I LOVE YOU TOO VUSYS.
I like the new theme 🙂
Yeah, i don’t think bogdan wants to get legal stuff going, that’s always inconvenient on both parties
I just wish he wasnt so hard to talk to
but maybe it’s a good thing, i woulda gave him a piece o’ my mind anyway
i think he’d go to your hoster though, to avoid legal stuff and still accomplish his goal
QFT?

He would. Last time, he hired a lawyer to take down a Basil clone… I think I still have the source somewhere. o.o;
How cloned was the site?
Carbon copy. It was under developed though.
Vusys, VuTales at the moment resembles the old MMOTales and Profil3. For now, what you should do is make a CSS from scratch. What I mean is, figure out hte layout at the moment. For the themes, add a Layout 1, Layout 2, Layout 3 etc. as many as you see fit for the styles. Until you get a good format for where everything should be placed, you shouldn’t think about the colours yet, since themes are usually just variations of a layout.
I doubt any of us mind having a white theme with black outlines for, maybe a year if you need it. Like that cheesy line goes, “It’s not the places, it’s the people.” Or in this case, it’s not how the site looks, it’s the people (and the site’s functions).

LEGAL WAR PLZ

Shows how nuts the guy is – it was just like the main page and a few auction pages, and he went all ‘NO U PLZ’ on them.
yo put the latest forum talk on the right, instead on the left
the left will be just be latest blogs and latest blog comments
We all love you Vusys! =D
We’ll stick by you no matter What. Even if it means going to court with that motherfucker.
I didn’t know there were that many people on the site to like this blog, Vu~
Well, I know it’ll turn out fine.
~Mip
We shall prevail!!
It’ll be alright D:
The people here are nice. You’ve learned LOADS from making this, and everything should be okay in the end. Hang in there. Don’t let him get ye!
It’s kind of funny; Captain is trying to rid the more intelligent of the offsprings of Basilmarket. Corrupted Experiment Concept?
Yah the 13 year old morons here r wai moar intelligent than da 12 year old morons at Basil.
Yah the 13 year old morons here r wai moar intelligent than da 12 year old morons at Basil.
:/
I would’ve laughed, but I didn’t.

Wasn’t there a thread that showed the average age to be 17?
OT: If only my CSS skillz weren’t so rusty. Back in my prime, I could’ve transformed this site in about 10 hours of work.
He’s in it for the money. He doesn’t give a shit about the community, or that we’re just trying to have our beloved site back, he just doesn’t like that we’re using his “beloved” self-coded site to do so. I bet you $1000 that he’d love to find some way to bring all of us into court and get a couple million dollars out of it, and walk away happy and not giving a rats ass about us. (That’s right… rats ass)
Anyways… If you want, me and my brother could get you a good-looking CSS? We’ve been working on sites for awhile now… (I’m a developer/designer, he’s a Graphic Designer)
Tell him to fuck himself and run like hell!
My two cents/suggestion: Change the URL to something other than “Vutales.vuii.co.uk”, because it’ll make it that much harder for anyone to find. Change it to something like VuOMG.vuii.co.uk 😉
uhh
Why not get rid of vuii or Vu so it’s harder to point the finger at Vusys? o.o
The Vu thing is kind of a trademark which makes it easier to track
NassTales plz

Vuii is Vusys website. I don’t think he wants to move his website to something other than “vuii” to save VuTales from MrBasil 😛
Vusys, if you need any help with re-designing the CSS, send me a
PM 🙂
But… that means if I log off, it means I can’t get back in :|.
I find it funny how it was like around on the 6th of June last year which Captain shutdown MMOTales and this year he discovers Vutales
But this year, Quang, we shall prevail.
Dude, I cannot believe that on top of dismissin you from security he got Sano of all people to replace you. I’ve officially lost all respect for that guy. The motherfucker puts loyalty above competence, and he’s accomplishin nothin by tryin to be a hardass and threatenin to shut down this site.
For once I find a worthy site I can check regularly and enjoy, and Bogdan tries to ruin it. Jesus.

Are you KazooTheBat from the Basil Team? If so, are you planning to leave? I’m only asking because I’m thinking Basil’s users might take notice if 2 members of the team are off at once. It makes me wonder what’ll happen if people start asking questions.
If Basil’s community is anything like I’m hearing, then would they really notice?
They worships Mods and Security members alike, so I’m guessing yes.
(Since nobody posted in the interval between yours and mine, was the quoting really necessary? xD)
I see.
I’m guessing that eventually certain things will come to light and then the proverbial shit will REALLY hit the fan. :/
Vusys… You were the only Security guy on that team.
But you were an awesome one. (:
Yeah, there’s a lot of people that’ve noticed.
Vusys ambiguously said that Mr. Basil fired him, but I’m not sure if any other questions are being asked.

Once the redesign is complete, feel free to bring people here and make it more active. 🙂
Aaaah, Vusys, you son of a gun. I like the way you’re talking. ;D
I actually really like this new “mutated” form. To be honest, I don’t even care anymore if the site remains looking like the old MMOT in any aspect. I decided to set my priorities straight…I stay here for the community, not the layout >_<;
