sniperscope Posted September 21, 2000 Share Posted September 21, 2000 Congrats to the both of you. Sob.... I must admit I wish it would have been me. I would have quit my job in a second. Things are going to get even better around here. This is great news. sniperscope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kinch Posted September 22, 2000 Share Posted September 22, 2000 After a long and frustrating day it was nice to see this good news. Well done by all. I foresee even better times for the BTS/CM community. - Kinch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage2 Posted September 22, 2000 Share Posted September 22, 2000 Jeez. Sounds like a dream job. I wonder if they actually get paid. Sage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted September 22, 2000 Share Posted September 22, 2000 The quick answer to the "why employees of Battlefront.com and not BTS" is... Both Matt and Dan will be doing more work than just Combat Mission. For example, the website is going to be totally overhauled. And no, Charles and I haven't met either Dan or Matt in person. However, we've met Moon (Martin) who has met Matt As for offices... we don't need no stinking offices! If we had offices we would be tempted to only work 8 hour days instead of 12-16. Imagine how long CM1 would have taken if we did that Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Beman Posted September 22, 2000 Share Posted September 22, 2000 Explosive...Oh, I thought he said "Explosive GAS." Never mind. No, seriously, this is pretty cool. With Madmatt prowling the forum and applying the boot where needed, and Dan helping hammer out yummy T34 textures, hopefully CM2 will be EVEN BETTER than it would have been otherwise (admittedly difficult, but I have high hopes) DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawyer Posted September 22, 2000 Share Posted September 22, 2000 Well, hrummmphh, I certainly hope you don't pay Matt anything. I resent the fact that he might actually make money helping the rest of us. Why does he need to make a living? Just jokin' Well deserved and congratulations! ------------------ Just call me Lucifer 'cause I'm in need of some respect.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkerT Posted September 22, 2000 Share Posted September 22, 2000 Hurra ! Hurra ! Hurra ! It has been a pleasure to watch the CMHQ grow and become the gem it is today, and also a pleasure to play with all the beautiful new textures. Thank you MadMatt and KwazyDog for all your hard work. I guess you both had this well deserved bonus comming. Good Luck to both off you. Frans ------------------ If at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again. Then give up.

Pvt. Ryan Posted September 22, 2000 Share Posted September 22, 2000 So, does this mean Matt isn't having a sex change after all? Vanir asked: 2. Why did Matt need to have surgery before he started work? It was just a mod to upgrade him from Battlefront beta to Battlefront gold. Congratulations to all.

John Kettler Posted September 22, 2000 Share Posted September 22, 2000 Congratulations, one and all, and for all the right reasons! The news from the front is indeed good and bodes well for all of us. I'm delighted by the massive talent infusion in both graphics and Web stuff. Concerning the latter, I join with Leland in requesting that you not use black background with white text (w/wo microtype). It's hard to read and requires extra steps to print out. Graphic coolness is possible without artiste black. I would also ask you to please remember the Netscape and Mac users. There are plenty of sites out there, Claus Bonnesen's On Armour, for example, whose lead pages are unreadable on my iMac under Communicator 4.5. Also, I've noticed an alarming trend toward oversized pages which exceed my screen size and have to be scrolled all over simply to view them. Finally, I'd like to request that you systematically corral the constantly expanding string of reviews and put them all in one easily accessible place. A hyperlink from the CM Forum would be nice, too. Looking forward to great things, John Kettler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rune Posted September 22, 2000 Share Posted September 22, 2000 Rumor is that success has already gone to their head....Madmatt has moved from ripple to mad dog 20/20 wine, and KD has moved from Fosters to Bud Light. My congrats were personal, and now public. Yeah, I remember when KD was e beginner and trying to make a T28, and Matt was still a beta virgin....hehehehe I am not worthy....
