HEY - what happened to MY translation of the GR article ???

[Incoming]

I posted MY translation of the GR article a couple of hours ago, I also verified that it showed up in the forum - which it did.

I've just spent five hours translating that recently posted article, I started a thread telling people they could download it from here:

Half-Life 2 article from Game Reactor

And now, 60 - 90 minutes later - the thread is gone ? Can any moderator out there be so kind and tell me what happened ???

maybe the pirate ninja admin got to it thinking it was scanned from a mag or something?

 

[Mr-Fusion]

It was already translated by someone else. It's in a thread a few rungs below this one.

Nice work on the 5 hours wasted

Thread was merged with the other translation one.

5 hours? Wow. You really are crazy.

Well, if any pirate ninja admin had pulled his/her head out of the "black hole", and viewed the material linked to, he/she would VERY SOON see that the stuff I posted was certainly NOT scanned. It is a translation based on the swedish article made by Game Reactor.

And IF someone removed my previous translation-text, I would surely appreciate to be NOTIFIED of it along with a legitimate REASON why it was removed. The guy/girl who removed my post didn't leave ANYTHING behind.

alec_85; I don't mean to shuffle any dirt on you in any way for posting your own translation of the very same text - since you couldn't know that someone else tried to do it first. I just don't like the eventual positive response towards such a 4 - 5 hour's work to be taken away from me at the finishline.

It hasn't been removed, just merged.

 

[Rupertvdb]

know you know how hundreds of scientists have felt throughout generations, people beating them to the finish line and their work ignored, no matter how much better or worse.

LOL - well, heh, that's how great this game is !!! :thumbs:

////

And, it got merged ??? If I start a new thread - I don't want it to be merged with a previous CLOSED one who people doesn't care about for five tiny flies ! How should people know about my crazy 5 hour sitting with this little article if it gets hidden away ?

(Happy I got an answer on this mystery thing though !)
