Time to unstickey Blacksac?

Since Blacksac has admitted the screens are faked, and admitted she thinks the game is not what was promised, isn't it time to let her stickies go away?
Comments
It is needed to remind everyone how much hype and bull is used to promote these games.
Change the subject/ or whatever. But Truth must be shown!
I do not understand how that post could be allowed to remain sticky AFTER sac admitted they were faked.
MMORPG.COM needs to monitor this stuff better.

Sac was caught by Zorbane:
At least one of the armor/clothing pictures was photoshopped
Here is one example. Notice how the guy's hand overlaps the woman's hand? Even though he's supposedly standing behind her? Also the lighting is way off, there's light reflecting of his robe but not hers.
Npcube has shown here that they will manipulate images for their own benefit. How can we tell if all the rest of the images in this thread have been altered?
And Sac responded:
Same way you did it this time... goodluck with that
This is basically an admission of guilt. Note that Sac did not deny that the image identified by Zorb was photoshopped, and did not say it was the only one. That means more were, plain and simple.

He/She stated elsewhere he/she got permission to post those. Whether BS jacked them (photoshopped, retouched, manipulated) can be implied to at least some of them. If BS had stated they came directly to her from them, then we may have another suspicion. However this wasnt stated. BS screwed this all up with the numerous statement. That happens when you lie. You forget the other lies. The truth can be remembered.
....."oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive......"
A smart man only tells lies that he himself believes..
BTW: I never scrolled to page 4 billion of the "Screens of a world.." thread, so I didn't see people asked for it to be unstickied a month ago. Didn't mean to steal anyone's thunder.
The short answer is no
I am only aware after the fact of one screen that was edited. It was eventually explained that is was put together for convienence as it was displaying a collection of many robes put together on a single pic. It came from an official news bulletin that everyone had access too, and I posted it almost immeadiately it became available, and I was unaware of that at the time. I am not aware of any others, although if it's from a news bulletin, I'll suspect now. But the World of DnL didn't need screens to be edited, it doesnt make sence as the screens don't even do the World justice, even if the game itself is disappointing IMO
As for any speacial permission I may have with the Devs, I don't know what happened there, I never felt I had any
If I posted saying I had speacial permission from the developers (as It has been said that there are many such examples) I would love to see one
All the screens I posted were freely available to anyone. (to check right click screen, then check properties, and note the website its from)
For some reason people thought I posted stuff they couldn't find themselves, but all they had to do was a property check to find the source, no mystery, just thinking.
I hope that helps
PS: As for this old comment by me "Same way you did it this time... goodluck with that". It ment goodluck trying to find other edits the same way you did it this time me being sarcastic, thinking to myself he wont find much of anything, because I didnt believe there was any editing on any scale except the "robes pic " and it would be a huge job trying to find any more (which he never did anyway that I know of).
PPS: People have been saying the ss have been edited even when DnL was new and hyped. It got old, as no one proved anything, and in the end the World looked just as good if not more so beautifull than any ss.
It's not the World that is a let down, infact its one of the saving grace's, it's the implementaion of the features that is the real let down
Most of these screens were found on the site of Bensor, one of the die hard DnL french fanboys (Dnl-Bible.com), and he was perfectly aware that the screenshots were not ingame screens, but scripts.
He's the one who posted the several "Beta tester testimonies" on the official DnL website prior to launch....those that were all like " the world is fantastic, you can fly, the sunsets are amazing blah blah blah" but never said anything about the gameplay or the game system.
He's working on his own project, "project octopussy". Maybe he needs funding.
No, it's not only a flight sim
Current Work In Progress
So how does this fit well with Blacksacs claim that they are in fact screenshots?
The sticky needs to come down.
These screens were taken from a website owned by someone BlackSac thought was well informed.
But we know that this person, Bensor, is in fact just one of Farlan's puppet.
Now I don't know if BS was aware of that fact or not...but he was in beta as far as I know, so he should have known.
One thing is sure though: These screens are not DnL screens.
And I think BS's thread should be unstickied as it is misleading.
Of course Black knew. She/he even went so far as to say that DNL gave them to him/her in another thread when one of them had a monster or something that wasnt recognized while SOG was running. It certainly wasnt in SOG and the testers said it wasnt a beta so it must have been from DNL -- in Blacks words , paraphrased : I dont recognize the monster in this, this must be from DNL <shrug>". So yes, Black was and still is full of it. Black is as full of the stink of Farlan/Np3 as they are.
The sticky is bogus. Deception in full color. The sticky needs to come down.

That screen was freely available from the official web site, anyone could use it. At the time I hadn't seen that beastie in SoG, but it was later revieled it was at an event. For all I knew it was a promo screenie from DnL, and I shared my thoughts, nothing more. Never the less it was not an exclusive ss, check the ss's properties and see for yourself if your not just intent on lying/decieving
If your not intent on lying, you will admit your wrong once you do a property check... waiting on an apology assuming your honest

/Agree
Need a petition. its just annoying and has been annoying all along. 50+ pages is just ridiculous not to mention the retouched ss's.
/dont agree
Blacksac did put a lot of work in it and it was realy appriciated ( especialy pre sog time ).
Most of people consider DnL death so if mmorpg.com deceide to to something is better to remove it completly.
p.s. I still play it and have some fun, but low player base is killing it for me too
