I played "that other star wars mod" and I enjoyed it very much, and I don't think anyone on these boards believes that it wasn't a very good mod that is very deserving of recognition, but that isn't why it was censored. It was censored more as a joke than anything else. The reason why some of the devs here became frustrated with discussion "that other star wars mod" was because in the earlier days of FS (especially prior to gaining members of Shattered Faith), the FS devs were trying very hard to emphasize that FS wasn't GC2, that we were, and still are, a completely different mod team with different goals and different ideas. Unfortunately, of course people from the community still took a view similar to that we were GC2, and so many people kept asking stuff like "Are you gonna make this and this like GalacticConquest did?" and on and on with that kinda stuff. Lets just say that some of the devs became frustrated with this line of thinking, so GalacticConquest discussion was frowned upon.
I suggested that we censor it for a couple reasons. THX made a funny comment about censoring words and somehow he made it look like "lesbian make-out party" was in our filter, and I decided to find out what word or phrase was censored into "lesbian make-out party", but hours of trying every dirty word or phrase later, I discovered that it wasn't actually in our filter. After learning this, and observing someone make a comment about GalacticConquest, I suggested adding the acronym for "that other star wars mod" into our filter and turning it into "lesbian make-out party", mostly just to poke fun at Bandu's attitude about discussion on our boards pertaining to "that other star wars mod", but also because I really wanted to get "lesbian make-out party" in our filter.
But to be clear, the censoring had nothing to do with feeling inferior or jealousy or anything childish like that, it was mostly as a joke so just chill out.
