Show dpa some appreciation

[Towelie]

So, I am posting this thread out of my own initiative, and not because dpa asked me.
I am posting it because I feel it's needed. He was very upset over the drama created after he reduced the donator shop prices. What started as a way to re-balance donations, and fix our bad situation that we were in (we had no donations for weeks), ended in a cry fest of older donators wanting a refund and whatnot.
A logical question that dpa himself posed: IF you bought a PS4 now for 399 and sony dropped its price to 200. Would they send you the difference back? No. Nobody would do that. We have to adjust with the current sitaution and the current situation was that people weren't donating any more so if we just stood idly by and did nothign we probably would've ended up really bad.

This doesn't end at some people just saying they want a refund, no. There are people that threatened to quit and said that they hate dpa now for doing this.

I came here to deliver a simple warning: Start showing dpa the respect and appreciation he deserves or there will be no pixelmon. Dpa is seriously upset right now over the way he is being treated about reducing the prices and was even considering quitting pix due to that.

I hope you understand and show dpa the love/appreciation he has earned by working so hard, at times even 16h at a time.

As a lot of players on pixelmon would say #Dpa4NextPresident!

Thank you for all your work and effort dpa1991!

[Rjlem13]

Thanks Dpa for the hard work Pixelmon wouldn't be the same without you.

[Jyncs]

Since I have known dpa when he started on our servers he has always wanted the best for all of our servers. That was nearly 4 years ago. I've talked with him a lot on a lot of decisions because sometimes he is on the fence, and it always comes back to what is best for the SFT community and the servers. I trust that dpa will always make the best decision for SFT.

[adamson20]

I donated about 10mins before prices were changed, not a big deal still got the same stuff I would have gotten. Glad prices were dropped a bit as more folk'll hopefully donate to keep this great server going now.

[Brightpkz]

Guys, at least consider Dpa's hardwork. A price-drop isn't necessarily a bad thing, Dpa knows what's best for SFT and he knows what he's doing. Dpa's awesome, he's been a savior of SFT and it wouldn't even be here if it weren't for him.

[Hedgehog706]

Anyone who plays pixel on should appreciate DPA
No anyone who plays SFT should, about a year ago pixelmon saved SFT all thanks to DPA.
DPA puts tons of work into pixelmon, we greatly appreciate him for that and if anyone thinks I'm wrong, send me a PM.

Then we'll talk

#dpa4owner2014! wait never mind.

[werewolfxx5]

Dpa we will always appreciate you <3 no matter what

[Squishyfoot]

Sorry you had to go through this trouble dpa. Sft still supports you, even though a few complaints were made. Y

(Accidentally clicked post ) anyways, you still are really appreciated and a great owner of sft. 

[cloberrie]

Thanks Dpa for all your hard work, really appreciated, and people need to realise how hard you work

[Best_Shooterman]

Conceited children that only think about themselves make me sick.

Thanks Dap, I also appreciate the work you put into factions. <3

[Lansdiinio]

Thank you Dpa for all you've done for SFT as a community. Shame some people just can't act in a better way.

[Chill2000]

I think a lot of people didn't or don't realise we are getting as much donations as we did and that dpa is actually helping the server to survive, the cheaper prices mean I can donate regularly! THANKS DPA WE LOVE YOU!
P.S Have some cake!

[nickaz8]

How could I not? He is one of the admins that helped made this SFT server happen! He is just trying to make this team better!!! He'll fix his mistakes and he made one, but he'll fix it so give dpa appreciation! 

[HiScore2]

Thank you so much dpa Price drop was pretty damn needed, glad y'all thought of changing it.  I did just donate, (At the sale :3) And I plan on donating again, now that the prices have dropped.  Thanks for doing so, ignore the hate <3

[Best_Shooterman]

But Dpa didn't make a mistake...

[Dorritolicious]

Yeah...... Don't make dpa angry.

Thank you for all your work and effort dpa1991!

#Dpa4NextObama* but yea xD
*football voice* GO DPAAAAAAAA!!!!!

[Kingcozza]

1000000000000000000% agree that Dap doesn't get as much appriecitation as he deserves... It sickens me that people complain because they paid more as prices got reduced to SAVE SFT. Thank you Dap we love you

[TheGoldenKibby]

Thanks Dpa.

[tobminer]

Thank you Dpa, I realize this could make a difference, but we have to live with things. So, thanks for being awesome and doing so much for SFT!

[krankenstein20]

may i ask who actually said they wanted refunds cause thats absolutely disgraceful the fact that they are actually demanding refunds and threats to quit thats horrible and so self centred also

[shadowaurax]

Oh cheesus, great post Towelie.
Didn't realize that SFT was falling on such hard times, or that there were that many people being d****ebags about price adjustments meant to keep a free to play server running.

No question that DPA deserves appreciation, I've seen SFT come too far with him to think otherwise at this point. Hopefully he doesn't keep taking the comments from old donators too seriously. It's their fault of ignorance, not his in the management of the server; these are the same people who complain about refunds if a MMO goes under on the global market (ever try to get money back from a place that doesn't exist anymore?).
They need to get their heads out of their asses and realize that the only way they can even protect what they already bought is to keep trying to gather paying supporters for the server, otherwise nobody wins.
Anyway, more relevant to the topic....

Thank you DPA for all the work I've seen you do over the years, though I've only really watched passively. I'll find a means to donate somehow 

[shadowaurax]

Bump because this needs some more responses.

Is this all the support the members of SFT have to offer someone who devotes so much of their life to something that...
makes other people happy?
allows you to have regular friends online?
gives everyone something great to enjoy together?

Take your pick or pick all three, as they all stand true.

we've given more appreciation that you could ever imagine
who are you to judge us, you've probably been here for a month or two, you dunno shit about the community.

[FireClaw0301]

The world is full of problems.  one of them is that there are so many people dont care about others, and only ever do whats best for themselves.  Dpa is not one of these people.  anyone who wants a refund is.  prices change for everything.  thats just how it works.  i dont see how a donator shop on a minecraft server would be any different.  i suppose these people just dont realize that if the prices hadnt been lowered that woulnt be able to enjoy whatever it is they bought

for a while i stopped playing on sft because i just got bored.  then pixelmon showed up.
n ow i have about 600k emp on survival that i dont remember ever getting (probably voting)

thank you Dpa! happy birthday, since i dont when it is.

Did you even read the original post, or are you just responding in general ignorance?

Regardless of past appreciation, now is the time to show it. Because it's the recent developments that had upset him. If you want to be a d-bag, PM me and we can fight it out there.
This is the place to show some respect and appreciation to someone who needs it right now.

[The Lovin Spoon]

i'm not being a douchebag, you are

you got me at the "fite me in PM" part
stupid shit..

[ddude_stnom]

There is absolutely NO NEED to start a flame war here. I do not appreciate you two starting at one another, on a post praising dpa1991 for all his hard work, and in a post meant to be calm.

If you have a problem with one another, message a staff member, do not bring it up here. The language used here is awful as well, please do not talk to others like this again. You have both recieved a forum warning for aggrovating each other, so I suggest you don't let it happen again.

This a gaming community, not Jeremy Kyle.
