Thanks for this. We're all very interested in your story, especially since it's so vital to the thread.

Original Post:

Malan, you're wrong, by the way. Rock came before Ace3 and others decided to go against it because of their own personal vendettas. I created Rock in the same spirit that I created Ace2 (well, I wrote about 85% of it), Rock was just a continuation of it. So, from my perspective, they split from me rather than the other way around.

This isn't WoWAce forums, at least tell the truth.

Joker is a project created by ckk because Ace2 became too large and bloated to work with, a few people at the same time started to plan/work on a refractor version of Ace2 but it was abandoned around a week later because it was decided it's was impossible to retain full backwards compatibility while doing the fixes.

According to SVN logs, Joker was first added into the SVN around August 3rd, Ace2 refractor was started on August 16th when you consider that "Ace2.5" had multiple people working on it a delay in a start time isn't going to be that unexpected.

Kaelten gave ckk an offer to contribute to Ace3, I don't have the exact quote offhand but it was along the lines of "You can help contribute code to Ace3 and we wont turn it down", this can be interpreted either as "If you contribute something and will objectively look at it and decide if it should be added", or "Anything you contribute is automatically added", ckk chose the latter.

Ace3 is the result of contributions and suggestions from multiple people (Around 5-6 if I recall) and most of Joker was done with just ckk contributing and suggesting for it. When the goal is to have something that's more community oriented and only add what's needed, having a single person working on it wont get it done.
