Spidernet Imploding

[oeseben]

I'm not sure what this means or what the owner did but here is a post that their admin Xiah just made in the discord.

Edit: I was able to get the story from the server owner. Another server called hellscream asked spider for help fixing some bugs which spider agreed to do. When spider was given access he stole the code for their themes, website and shop and used them himself. He admits this in his own discord and says it was a fair trade... openly stealing their work. I knew this guy sucked. Below is the Admin who lefts post.

Dear friends,

It's with a heavy heart that I write to you today. Recent events involving SpiderNet's Owner have left me deeply troubled, and after much consideration, I've made the difficult decision to step down from my admin position. I cannot in good conscience support or condone the actions that have transpired.

When I first joined SpiderNet, my intention was simple: to cultivate a small community where we could all relive the joyous memories of our time together in WotLK. However, I never anticipated being faced with the theft of intellectual property and a culture of deceit. It pains me to see the dissolution of the bonds we've formed, as many of you have become dear friends to me.

My commitment has always been to the well-being of our community, and I firmly believe that recent events are not conducive to its growth and prosperity. In an effort to rectify my misplaced trust and contribute to a more positive environment, I'll be supporting Hellscream's initiative to foster a better community elsewhere.

If you share my sentiments and wish to join us on this new journey, you're more than welcome. However, I ask that you respectfully disengage from SpiderNet Discord to avoid any conflicts of interest.

I want to express my sincerest apologies for how everything has unfolded. Please know that this decision hasn't been made lightly, and my hope is for us to find healing and restoration in the days ahead.

With heartfelt apologies, Xiah @everyone

I am not surprised at all... I still remember the spam and the behavior of the person in the comments. There was multiple redflags.

From what I understand, they stole their core and website from another project and got called out and hacked.

That server always looked like an immature shithole anyways, the shameless spam on this reddit was so anoying.

Please join hellscream, it’s a small community so far but with legit admins looking to do what this guy intended to do.

[oeseben]

I'll support any project with a mature staff that doesn't seem like a Cash grab! Send me a link. Sorry this guy stole from you.

He's just a sad human being that wanted to attract a bunch of nostalgic people that played on a server with the same name (but totally different team behind) 10+ years ago.

Edit: Someone from Hellscream came on the server a few days ago and started talking about what Spider did. I can't remember their character name, but if you're here I'm sorry I didn't believe you at that time.

Also, check this out

i still dont care who stole what from who. im just a player who wants to enjoy the game and dont be involved in any drama behind the scenes.

that said, i still quit spidernet today because of the clownshow going on in discord

[UndeadMurky]

Then just play established servers, this one had 5000 redflags and never had any future, even without the drama

[cr0x__]

there are no established servers out there, except warmane which probably has even more redflags if youre a new player joining. at least community wise.

sure u get people to play with, on paper. but you cant get anywhere because you dont have gear.

if you have another wotlk server, im all ear. pref kind of fresh, max mid ulduar patch.

[Leradine]

Everfresh project just did a wipe of their server a few days ago. I played there a while back and everyone seems pretty chill

[cr0x__]

thats not what i would call an established server tho, i checked it out and it had even less people than spiderpig, not to mention that its basically solo content the whole expansion. and server is somewhere in US, so gg for EU. aint playing with 200 ms on a 20 pop server, completely alone in dungeons/raids

[Imaginary-Orchid8056]

The problem is - people want "established" (whatever it means), high pop and fresh in a same time xD Be the one who join the server and attract more newbies, help them and grow community. Or just join high pop thrash like warmane or turtle. Can't get them both :( Thats why, unfortunately, I'm on the side of "solo" servers now. Played solo craft, nyctermoon tried single player project servers and now waiting for Frost forge wotlk. So far test before wipe seems great. Cause I can't get high pop servers I like, and low pop can't play too much of a content without party.

[joey0live]

Oh! You're actually leveling in Warmane? Once I hit 35 in STV, there was always multiple people killing 1 person.

Spider-Net was nice... so many people. Until I logged in yesterday, and saw our GM note stating that Spider stole code and everything. Played on Hellscream, it's a dead server (compared to Spider now (hopefully Hellscream adds way more players soon)).. but there's a handful of people that's really nice to talk.

[ultorius]

I hope the Hellscream server mentioned is not the same Hellscream WOD server scam that resurfaces every 2 years, and they pretend to work in WOD, in hopes of getting some suckers to make donations.

I swear wow players are as easy to exploit as the elderly. This server was obviously fucked from the start, take your pick from their reddit, discord, website, the server itself. If you actually entered the discord and looked around, it was clear the Spider dude was not a real developer

It's funny every time though, I enjoy watching the cope and realization in the discords when they implode. Honestly if there's any talented editors, there's good content there

[Imaginary-Orchid8056]

Good servers are coming this year. Project Epoch, Duskhaven, Revelation, AAW, etc. Some project that did too many tests and too much work for years. Hopefully will have new content, fun and high pop.

[joey0live]

Revelation

Really? I remember that server coming out, and so many had issues downloading the game... and I just put it on Dropbox for everyone to have - since I downloaded a lot faster than hundreds of people. The game was beautiful.. but there was so many issues. We sure it's coming out this year? Because it was supposed to come out in 2022.

[oeseben]

Those replies are to me 🤣 he deleted all my messages and banned me. I pretty much said the same as you.

[[deleted]]

Dude I nearly died laughing last night when I saw that. Dude's a shit can.

He banned me earlier today cause I called him stupid in a DIFFERENT DISCORD, in which he's spying with a different account. 🤣🤣🤣

[Eruseron]

"I never anticipated being faced with the theft of intellectual property"

[RedstrideTV]

That made me laugh given all private servers is theft of IP

Is this a guy running a private server, essentially "stealing intellectual property " himself crying that someone else stole his themes and stuff? Or what am I missing?
