Think this pretty much explains everything

Can anyone explain what's going on here? And who's responsible for this mess?

umm! I could make a guess...but I might be being unfair, then again.......



why do they say Aliens are gonna be friendly?, surely the agressive ones wipe out the peaceloving ones, so all you have left out there are crazed flesh eating interstellar monsters.

It would also cut into the time he's currently spending developing a full manual for DBP.

Which would you prefer he worked on?

I'd prefer he cleaned up this dump then write a manual no one will understand because it's 200 pages talking about Atari.

lol @ Megaton!

Um the codebase article linked to appears to be empty - or is that the point?

I have to say I stopped looking at the codebase after the millionth bit of badly written and very obvious noob code that claimed to be there to help people...

They should only allow experienced coders to post stuff there. People like Hamish, Drew, Benjamin..

But what happens if someone actually wants to be helpful but the code they post just isn't that.

For example, I might make my first ever game, it's a simple click on the square when it appears in a random position. Although most people wouldn't find my code helpful I don't see a problem with me posting it because I'm trying to help out in the community and it probably took me a long time to get that far.

As far as I know, the code base is for people to post code so others can learn from it. Whether its usefull to you or not, if its not gonna be usefull to others then there is no point in posting it.

Sorry DBAlex,
But I thought u made something good.
When I saw that I was shocked.
I thought my grandmother made that.
I thought somebody made it using Windows word.
IS that a game, a program, or 3 year old drawing.
I REALLY THINK THAT IT'S 3 YEAR OLD DRAWING.

But people might post something that they genuinely(spelling) think others will find helpful when in actual fact other users could knock it up in a few minutes.

I in no way agree with people posting things which they KNOW no-one will have any use for but I do think that one persons pong is another persons soopa doopa 1337 mmorpg. (if you catch my drift)


EDIT:: Never mind, I sould like a complete pillock now Megaton Cat's edited his post to something completely different.

Some people post questions up there. I wonder if they realise that they are not going to get answered?

sorry. SORRY! Thanks to you I've now lost all self confidence and just this very minute ventured outside and showered my prize winning radish with industrial strength weed-killer.

Having just checked my inbox it appears nintendo would have been more than happy to sponsor me ten trillion pounds just to stick their logo on my biggest radish, money which I was planning to give to YOU.

Well, I hope you're happy, I'm going to have to branch out into sheep growing now, an area Nintendo won't touch with a 10 foot cheese pole. I just hope Mr.Gates is willing to take the risk.
