Well look, GC was a fantastic mod, most of us enjoyed. Its practically impossible to prevent the mental lines from being drawn between GC and FS. GC was a great, great, great, great mod.
That being said, I really have to side with Bandu (:O). This mod has been going for a long, long time without the help of the GC devs. I know that sounds sorta harshish. Its incredibly obvious this mod is benifiting INCREDIBLY by their membership. Surely you see what I'm saying. This mod wasn't born GC 2. It was born FS.
This totally sounds rude, but only because I'm a sucky writer and don't know how to put it better. So don't get insulted when I say this. Having GC devs come into an already well established FS doesn't morph it into GC 2 (I don't think anyones saying that, I'm just trying to look through a FS founder's eyes here.) Now thats not to say that the ex GC devs are any less a part of the FS team as the originals...
You all know what I mean I'm sure...:)
