Past scene drama (why ARN was renamed)

Since I explained this to a couple of people who asked me in private, I figured I could put it here if anyone is interested.

"I swear I really respected Rei at first (Luma was originally named "AuReiNAND" to reflect that he was the author of the original project). I was also with him on a Skype group, CTRDev, and I was chill with him, he genuinely seemed like a nice person and we got along. Then at some point he started the "bloat meme" and discussions about my code sucking increased, he even brought it to reddit where he made a post about it (but then CTRDev members convinced him to take it down). Then one day someone added a fake account ("DILIGAF") to CTRDev, who started insulting me in a very bad way. CTRDev is a private group, so it was one of us. That day (it was at the end of April) I had just argued with Rei and he misgendered me as well, I have logs of the argument and of DILIGAF:

After this was over me and Tux investigated it, Tux used some Skype IP tool to determine his IP, and we sent it to GBAtemp staff. The outcome was that it was most likely a GBAtemp regular, since the IP blocks matched; coincidentally it was a person we found out got close to Rei: http://i.imgur.com/75pbunM.png (he also had stuff about Luma being bloated in his GBAtemp signature).
So with everything figured out, we exposed Rei to the CTRDev members and he left saying the group sucked.
Some time later (one month I believe?) Rei asked Ryan to take over CTRDev's then admin's account (he either had the password, as this person claims to have given it to him; or he guessed it but it doesn't really matter) and take over and spam the group. And so he did. http://i.imgur.com/JHWcnRL.png
Other than this, I was shown screenshots of Rei shit talking me on the Discord 3dsch*** group (3dsch*** is where the "DILIGAF" person came from, they just seem to be a circle of people who hate me for some reason).
I called him out because I just had enough. As it can be seen in the screenshots in the other blog post he knew this would happen before my github was messed with and the transphobic things were posted here. And Punderino posted lots of things that Rei uses to say (like that I copy Rei's work and stuff http://i.imgur.com/SYaO9LY.jpg ). He even used transphobic expressions that Rei uses towards me (I'd rather not repeat those). So even assuming Rei didn't have a hand in the hacking, he definitely had one in "setting him up" for this; I already saw once on the wiiubru IRC that Ryan and Punderino repeated Rei's insults."

Le make stuff private meme is fucking cancer.

Anyway, Rei, could you please post a full version of your events in a single post to counter Aurora's claim? I am quite curious about that, but I can only get pieces and pieces by skimming over this whole ordeal.

It should just be squashed honestly. Both parties just admit mistakes were made without specifics, forgive but don't forget and move on. Both very talented people, that would only hurt their own fanbase by refusing new stuff because of some high school drama. It never really ends does it? Either way if you were releasing stuff for the community at ANY time you gained some sort of renown for you ability. It seems contradictory to argue about whose is larger then to say, "Oh well, I'll just develop privately now". That proves it's just out of spite and not reason (which is pretty illogical) and might I say a huge middle finger to your supporters? Donators? etc.... This feels a lot like Cell9 going all adolescent and deleting his source code because Margen wouldn't stop riding his dick. You guys should grow up some.

@matpower I pretty much already did that. Top of page 11 is the TLDR of the details through out the thread. Not sure why any of this matters anymore.. this is drama from literally last year.. thats right folks, LAST YEAR. lol. And from what i gathered, the gbatemp """hack""" had nothing to do with CFW or politics or anything other than some kid going "hey we found passwords, lets try them".

VinLark, why is it bad? It basically hinders development and actively hurts the community. SALT is a good example of useful stuff who will never get released and that alternatives took ages to be released.

I believe that hacking is all about the community, after all, you are already working against a closed system and the company behind it, why make it harder for everyone by not sharing things? Sometimes it might even get improved if its code is open. ReiNAND and Luma3DS are great examples of how being public + open source helped development. ReiNAND got another dev working besides Rei and TuxSH and AstrounatLevel (IIRC) helped Aurora with Luma.

There isn't a really good reason to keep things private, unless it is a rare exploit which you don't want to get patched earlier.

@Reisyukaku
I think you're still implying i have control over people.
The main concern involving your name that I saw when addressing the attack on the accounts is that you were made aware of the information punderino had acquired prior to any attacks having been carried out, during which you could have taken a spare minute to alert people or at the very least do a PSA for people to change passwords, which I hardly consider to be a daunting task.

Who won the Salt of the Year award? hehe j/k

I didn't know it was the drama was this intense.
 
@916253 I think the issue is that team Luma is accusing him of being behind everything, which seems like a long stretch from the truth.

This is like the Spanish Inquisition lol. @Reisyukaku is a witch burn him! Lol

@916253 I heard some sketchy activity and thought i was just being paranoid but obviously it was too late when it happened. Also sorry to say but the people attacking me for months over nothing would be the last people i would alert if i found out sooner.. I alerted a few of my good friends in the scene to change their passes while the mayhem was starting lol. I mean not much i could do other than that. Someone already made a thread on temp to alert the masses.

VinLark, oh, you misunderstood me. When I said "Le private meme", I was talking about Rei creating a neoSALT on the Switch scene. :P

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
