I tend not to post unless there is something worth responding to (ie something I can have some input on), or I have a question. If I can't help the topic, I won't post. I certainly don't think anyone should be criticized for doing/trying odd things, more power to you, and in the end if it worked you would be able to pass the knowledge aquired along to the rest of us lowly peons.. :) >>It is, the program is >user-driven, and if 75% of members don't participate, it just isn't as >rewarding as it could be. Go hit the random choice link on our >"member's page's" page if you don't believe me... I never questioned it.. I too was guilty of not posting or updating my page.. I have been EXTREMELY busy the last 6mths and my personal life and hobbies had to be placed on hold.. But alas I am back, and I can assure you my page will start recieving regular update.. (before some of you ask.. Yes there is a new version of the GNU IDE/SIOCONS for Win95/NT.. I'll put it up in the next cpl of days).. The last thing I could do on my Yaroze was move sprites... I can assure you 1000's of questions will be posted over the next cpl of weeks. > The reason why that is is human nature. No one likes to feel >unable, no one likes to be stepped on or insulted.

I think that the Yaroze community as a whole will not belittle anyone for trying.. Even something like displaying an object for the first time is a very daunting task.. one that pissed me off for a few days... Also confused the crap out of me on why they required an ordering table... Kinda cool once you figure it out.. but alas I might not have if I didn't post questions about it. >playing games for decades, just because you can't do x, y, or z as >well as others does not mean your opinions are not interesting and >worthwhile.
