I know there was some furore over F.E.A.R's blogs, i was there.

I went to check some information relating to my new guide (it's a collab), but i found out that all of them had been deleted.

why were they deleted? They might have been copypasta'd ,but they were resourceful as **** .-.

Copy pasta is one thing, stealing something someone worked on for hours and hours and saying you did it is just wrong.

Actually here provides everything you needs, Fear0's blogs only covers a few parts of them. About 90% of every contents are copied without editing, it's just like photostat-ing man. It's helpful but he just simply copied everything and post it like he wrote them, he made a "Linken's Sphere guide" and claimed it as his own, which actually is written by another person. I don't really understand why would he do that... To earn cheap Rep?

Maybe a simple addition of "-credits to ...." would have done the trick?

edit: locket, we really do appreciate your find, but sprinkling salt over the wound won't help.

one has to accept that fear does have good knowledge about the game and has put countless hours for the improvement of the site's huge(believe me, i've been there) database.

He said it was written by himself dude, which is clearly he is lying.

Reply to the edited comment above:
Yes you are right but being helpful doesn't mean we shouldn't judge him. When I joined this website I have already realised that he keeps copy and paste, but I kept my mouth shut because maybe he is trying to help. Until that day when he stole the idea from someone else, I think someone should stand up and ask him why would he do that.

I'm not ranting and I believe I'm right, he should stop copy paste and contribute with his own idea.

Proof? First, in playdota.com Fear's ID is F.E.A.R.0, and the linken's sphere author are called nix.
Also, in the original guide:

F.E.A.R.0 is not there! And if he DID helped the author writing the guide, why would he delete all his blogs? Was he feeling guilty? He could have come out and explain it. If I misunderstand him then I will apologise, but the fact is undeniable...

Enough of the berating

M sure we will have an official statement.
Until then please stop speculating and sullying him even further than he has already been.
I am surprised why no mod came here to mark this thread a bit toxic.

Go On, Feed Me.

I will again clarify my self. I DID NOT STEAL ANYTHING NOR DID I COPY. All I did was write on my own way up to date and for the better good for DF. But seems like some people can't understand that. Those guides are out dated, I as a PD member know Ebster the mechanic leader and Bunny in 2nd place who is a mod on Dota 2 Dev. Bunny to has his own guides in his sig. Does that make him a copy pasta? By your statements probably yes. I feel no guilty and I did not copy paste anything.
