I don't "hade" you, I never said I hated you anywhere, and it is not the case.
I do, however, have a problem with you as a person, and I will address that below.
The ONLY reason I contacted you was that I was annoyed by how the SMF team wouldn't listen to your performance improvement suggestions because you have a strange way of talking to people. And I can relate. So I took the liberty to actually invite you to do that job on our forum, because we would be willing to discuss them, and actually implement them into our fork.
So you were invited, you joined us, then you sent me that PM on September 23. Only one message, and you disappeared. I don't even know if you read my (longish) answer. Here's the contents of the PM, as it totally contradicts what you're saying (because you imply that you disagree with the concept of a, or our, SMF fork):
Thanks Nao for sharing the link to this forum.
I have read a lot of postings and I will tell you what I think;
1.. Only two Developer is too less for a project like this (same problems as SMF itself).
2.. Without testing the code (the project) I can't involve the PortaMx corp.
3.. I's a fork and the license rights are not cleared
So for the moment I can nothing do or more say as I do.
If you have a license for this project and you're ready to share the rights to the PortaMx corp., we can make a deal.

That was totally clueless.
So, how can you pretend that I "hade" you when it is *you* who actually were hostile to me?
I won't copy my long PM, but it basically said: (1) we have enough devs. We're working fulltime on it and are doing way more work than the SMF team on this. "PortaMx" is a single person, too, does that prevent you from working on it? (2) We weren't asking you to test our code, we were just asking you to share your ideas about our implementation concepts, and possible ways of making them faster, or choosing better coding practices. We may not *need* counseling, but we're open to external opinions. No one but us has access to the code and it will remain so at least until we go public. (3) I already discussed that -- our fork won't go public until SMF2 Gold is out, and then it'll be forkable. We just decided to begin our work ASAP because it then gave us time to rewrite large parts of the code.
I wasn't asking to "make a deal" with you, just to share ideas. I wasn't asking to share "rights" to our fork, because it's not a commercial business.
In all honestly, I was offended by your PM, but then I realized that your English is really bad and you probably didn't understand much of what I said.
So I just ignored you from that day. But I don't "hade" you. You haven't done anything to me. The only thing I really don't like about you, is how you insist on calling yourself a corporation. "Have a cigar." That's not our spirit. We're just Pete and Gilles. These idealistic coders who will do anything to get SMF out of the mess it put itself in.
That's all I had to say.
