Here’s an idea: instead of all these generalized attributions you keep making from one topic to the next, how about you actually cite who ‘said’ something. Because one or two people aren’t “the forum” and relying on overgeneralized statements can lead to false recollection.
The “forums” is not some conglomerate mass that allows things or knows everything that you keep trying to say in these overgeneralized fault-sessions that could very well be you either misattributing something, or stating something you already think, but want to blame the forum instead, because a few voices didn’t agree with you.
I suspect that the “volunteer coders” topic is the same source of your “the forum said coding” which if that is the case, the “forum” did not express that and you’re caught up on false attribution. However, I don’t remember every single post you make or every single topic you go off on (some of which don’t even get replies, so don’t “the forum” on those, please) so maybe you made a magical topic that didn’t catch my eye and one or two people were particular on ‘coding’.
There has been a stint of some forumer posters having an incorrect notion of how much ‘coding’ is involved in the process, but in a topic trying to address those concerns, a blue outside corrected the notion.
once ‘correct’ information has been given, it doesn’t matter what a faceless collective of internet avatars ‘said’ on the topic. I am under the impression that you were already thinking that more coding = more heroes because you have several topics and snide posts trying to convey that; I don’t recall a source to that idea, and I don’t really care.
A number of posters that are in ‘the know’ or work in similar capacities have stated the iteration process is the big bottleneck; if other people have said otherwise, well that’s the trouble of trying to lump every faceless voice into a sole entity and calling it “the forum”
I would say some of the same thing on the topics that complain about “the forum” having one reaction one day, and a different reaction another; many of those instances are of different people and not an “npc” collective that tends to be assumed on meta-forum topics.
