What's the point of having two almost identical programs?

Or is there some advantage I'm missing?

EDIT: Oops forgot a linky

And I read the change log. a 1000 Participation credit! Woo-Hoo!

He technically has the right to do so.

But it's still very bad.

Edit: I sent him this email:

Hi,

Why don't you just contribute code to the Poisoned project instead of branching your own app? That's just pure stupidity.

Oh wait, maybe you just want to put your name on such a nice app. Yeah that could explain it.

Anyway, this sucks.

If you read the poisoned forums, you will see that he has now joined the poisoned team and the next version of poisoned will have all the changes and extras that MultiNet has.
This a good example of Open Source... take the source, make it better, combine it back with the original...

revs
I free'd my mind... now it won't come back.
