Hello,

I have been a member here for a couple years now. I have seen the change in atmosphere as well. There are many things that have been lost on this site. Many of which, as of recent, are the coders themselves.

I am not a skilled coder like Livewire. I look to the coders like Livewire and Sam (thegeek) to learn. I view their code and try to pick it apart. When they leave, so too does anything I could have learned from some of their future releases.

The attitude of some of the people on this site is absolutely ridiculous. If you want a great example, have a look at all of the bashing that went on in the "Donations" modification. The coder (cloud I believe) was slammed more times in that thread than any other I have read.

It seems that a lot of the "newbies" feel obligated and expect things from this site. Many seem to have forgotten that this site is just a resource....a FREE resource.

When I first joined this site, I asked MANY questions. Back then, I got MANY answers. The "community" as a whole was a hell of a lot more friendly, and everyone seemed to help each other out. It isn't like that anymore. There are still some great people here, but the way the site was has dissipated.
