If the orginal post is genuine, i find it odd how its appearance more or less coincides with the appearance of the "Improved Uboat" mod.

My guess is this commerical addon is more or less the exact same thing that was created here in public domain.

You know, im reminded of a few years ago. Anyone remember the "addon" CD's back in the Duke Nukem3d or doom Era? They were basically a large collection of modifications and levels accumulated from the internet and sold for comercial profit. Naturally since Bozo's like me didnt use their real names, but an internet handle, any "disclamier" you put in your readme file was probably worth the paper you printed it on.

Kinda sad when you get a couple of scammers trying to package up stuff to make an easy buck at the expensive of the good will of the gaming community. The sad thing about it all, is they'll probably get away with it. They're not the first ones to pull this kind of BS.

EDIT:

Oh ya, if you want to get some more press in the internet gaming community, send some news to Woody at www.gucomics.com

This is the kind of thing im sure he'd jump at, and he has the ears of alot of the gaming community from gamers to developers.
