    consider this post a brief note

    in the past few months i've seen a huge increase of users putting others down because something is not written from scratch, i'd love to post some examples of this but i suppose that makes this post a little bit too personal.
    however; keep in mind that just because you've written something from scratch doesn't mean you've achieved something or have wider capabilities than someone else

    in fact, most of the time the original layout is not significantly changed, most of you write shittier code than the original code and also have worse performance results than the original code has. don't be arrogant to think this doesn't apply to you, because i can safely say that this applies to 99% of the users that visit this section.

    stop putting others down, stop massively making these projects with the purpose of having something from scratch, stop overly documentating (of which the documents in most cases are incorrect) and stop having an arrogant ego or the belief that you're better than the rest

    this is not a rant, i completely encourage everyone to try standing on their own legs, but please for the love understand that having something written from scratch is only related to project information and nothing else

    thnx

    ps: mods pls dont remove, this is becoming an actual problem now

    stop caring about what others do, we have no quality requirements so as long as the content follows sectional rules its all fine

    who cares if people comment about the base of a server, its not exactly forcing anyone to do anything

    I agree that it's annoying and pathetic but it's just one of those things you ignore since it doesn't really break any rules

    I just ignore them, none of these servers ever go public due to their creators getting bored of it.

    Writing a server from scratch demonstrates knowledge over those that simple leech a matrix/pi server.

    No it demonstrates that you have more time to kill. It really is not that hard; it does take quite a bit of time however. The point is, you could easily integrate a new system into an existing base - such as a quest, combat, or minigame system to have nice and neat code, while not having to waste time on things that are done and work fairly well.

    A lot of people try and reinvent the wheel for no particular reason. I mean, if you want to write your own server from scratch because you just want to understand RSPSs better, go for it, but compared to a lot of the current bases (such as apollo, hyperion even (I didn't read that this was for 503+, but I'm pretty sure with just some networking tweaks these bases could be used for these new clients)) you would optimize very little and waste a lot of time doing so.

    I agree, Matrix has so much content built around it. I'd be stupid to throw it all away instead of modifying only 10%.
