> - until you kids came along > Does anyone else see the irony here? No this isn't meant as a flame, but look at it from a different perspective here. What would happen if the first time someone critiqued our mud, and said you know what, it plainly SUCKS, we shut it down? What does that say about the individual doing so : For lack of a better phrase: "It's my toy and I'm not going to share it any more"
The Rom archives are a very valid and wonderful resource. To the one person that said differently, well, I do believe you've learned your lesson. If not, it can be explained to you further. This list is one of the best resources out there for ANY rom designer or creator. What may be "valid" discussion for one is most certainly not going to be valid discussion for another. Spamming the list with email, treating ANY list as your own personal code tutorial and help is not one of them however. As far as archives go, I shall work on what solution I can come up with myself, if Dom's set on not bringing them back. > The last time someone tried to bring up a "true problem" - all the noobs > (the majority of the list) decided that it was too hard of a "problem" - > and the thread subsequently died a rather quick and painless death. Once again, what may be a TRUE problem to you, may not be to someone else. However, spamming the mailing list with problems that you're too lazy to find solutions for online is not one. Most of the questions asked by the individual above were easily answered by searching through any variety of methods (one being the now defunct archives). Whether you used them once or a hundred times (I actually went through the archives a few times a week myself, looking for how X mud did this or what Y person said about this), the archives themselves were and are a GREAT resource. To see them taken offline because of all this, well, I believe I've made my point clear there. It's a sad, sad day when that happens. -- TJW :Head tech, designer, bum:P Mud :http://dreamless.wolfstream.net telnet :telnet://dreamless.wolfstream.net 9275 OLC Pages:http://olc.wolfstream.net
