Re: The HaloDemoMods.com Plan

I respect that there are more important things in life; if you have read any of the General Discussion topics I started, you would know this. Everyone mods Halo games as a hobby. Some invest large amounts of time and put forth appreciable (and that particular word does not imply value or the potential for value) works. You have not yet received any compensation for your efforts, so you feel more obligated to stick to them and see them through to completion; you also feel somewhat attached to what you have done because it reflects upon you and what you can do. While I see this as a false representation of true value, because I do not believe that the value of a person's life hinges upon their recognized accomplishments or productivity toward goals of human standards, I see that this is what most people chase after in their lives: this concept that they could somehow gain honor for themselves by somehow making their own lives more meaningful. They do this because they do not recognize the actual meaning of life which has nothing to do with judgements by human standards.
I will not tell you what to do because I am not living your life. I do not know what personal decisions you are making for yourself and other people, whether beneficial or harmful. After all, you can choose to ignore wisdom if you don't have room for it, but that will not help you then, will it! If someone gives you advice, it is up to you to decide if you will listen, based upon your capacities / faculties at the time. A smart person would ignore judgements by human standards because they know that what is really important in life is rather based upon God's standards. You can have real Peace if you learn this. Fear will stick out like a sore thumb and be entirely avoidable then. And you will be freed from slavery to whatever human judgement standards are imposed upon you by your imagination and the wills of those around you. Read this. It is important. And these two and others are for me.
I have shown you this goal and some of the process involved and I always expected this to be an uphill struggle. I never expect anyone to support me in it. I only recognize the values of those around me based upon their words and actions, and I work with them to formulate ideal situations for them based upon their values. You see, I am doing this for that reason, because that is how I operate. As a member of several Halo communities, I recognized the specific values of each and have developed this plan to bring those values to a place where they can develop with the best potential.
This is not a business monopolization. This is a new concept formulated in my mind in the attempt to make a mutually-beneficial ("win-win") scenario for everyone involved, based upon their values.
You may think I am ignoring the poll votes here, but what does it matter if HDM is on this server or on another server? I had intended for it to expand anyway, and this lets me expand it in the way I had envisioned anyway. It was heading in this direction and I would continue to plant more wheat on this farm, but now I have moved to another property where there is more space for the wheat. That is much better than renting storage. I use the metaphor so you can visualize that I'm not trying to increase my possessions but the quality and unity of the halo communities. I am not operating out of selfish motivations or greed, because I do not seek money in this -- in fact, most people don't, since they already do it for free as a hobby -- but I am only seeking a way to make this hobby neutral ("self-sustainable" by human standards) in areas of money transactions. A financial burden is placed upon each community manager right now, like Monoman and Dennis, and I recognize this and have developed this as a way to eliminate that burden and even reverse it so that they are making a slight profit. In fact, everyone except for the pure-player-gamer base would be making a profit. Why would you argue against that? Microsoft wouldn't! (LOL)
