One thing i'll suggest as an improvement. Would be for vB.org to add a chat area where licenced users actually can talk about code modding. I think this would be very valuable because it would help people with small coding problems to seek some help. Not only that, but it would bring coders together. The areas for this are quite dead, it either takes a week of bumping a thread or you get no reply at all. How are people supposed to progress with no help? There are tutorials which are very useful but this doesnt cover everything vB. I think that in order to make vB.org flourish you really need to do more to help and motivate potential coders.

Leave with a slam of the door or simply walk out, that is the question. I've seen plenty of "I'm outta here" posts on my board, usually by people who just want some attention and usually don't end up leaving after getting a little of it.

Leaving with a slam and taking your ball with you is as old as the playground; your ball, your choice who gets to play with it. Just like the people who own the playground get to set the rules.

It's one thing to talk about improvements, I've been involved in more than a few around here; but to make petty demands and threats and use your ball as a form of blackmail is just wrong.

If you want to leave, leave. Take your balls with you if you want; but don't make so much noise and expect me to come chasing after you. I've got my own balls and while I may play with other peoples balls, at the end of the day I'll leave with the couple balls I brought before the games started.

Those are my balls, and I want the users to be able to play with my balls when ever they want.

Yeah, I read them. After 5 pages it reads like this, "blah blah blah". Same thing repeated endlessly in a never-ending circle of drama. Before long it all becomes one big ball of twine; my remarks were necessarily directed at you in their entirity, although I can understand that you might read it like that. They were more of a commentary on the group of posts as a collective as I have neither the time nor the interest in addressing everyone individually.

Most excellent. As it should be.

But do you really need to make such a stink before you leave? Why not just let it go, accept it for what it is and move on to greener pastures? And why haven't you left yet - wasn't that the point of the first post? In my world, "See ya, I'm outta here." is usually followed by the person leaving.

Yeah, 14 pages gets a bit repetitive... and me with work to do, well, you know... so I take it you are not leaving, right?

Then don't waste my time with your ball comments if your not even going to read the whole thread in full. If you read the whole thread, then you would understand how I stand at this point, and why I made this thread to begin with.
