Drag it into the image search box, and it will find similar images for you.

Any reason you did that? You pretty clearly wanted to do something with it if you found something.

It just seemed like you were vaguely trying to claim you made the template when it was very obvious that you hadn't, then you were just accepting praise for it. I'm gonna call out anyone who does that, it's a lame thing to do. Nothing personal.

So, what was the point of telling me to stop working on this? What was the point of pointing out my template? What was the point of trying to get me to think that I needed 800$ for the template? And again, you assume that no one will buy this. I pity you. I truly do.

The point is that you're going to waste a lot of time on something nobody's going to buy, when you could be making something free which people would use and would be beneficial to the community. Take a look at this for example:

http://www.mcmyadmin.com/

A free server manager for minecraft - it's amazing. It does awesome things and it's free. This is the kind of thing Blockland could really benefit from and it'd be silly to charge for it. What you're spending apparently a significant amount of time on is going to benefit very few people if any at all.

[Kalphiter]

No I already stated a bunch of things wrong with your proposal such as your lack of experience, lack of track record completing projects, lack of good business plan, overestimating the size of your target market, failing to recognise that these kinds of services are offered for free for most other games etc.

How are most of his ideas qualified by his ability to do it? Consider more than what your narrowed vision sees.

Yeah Kaphost provides a simple server hosting that allows people to host servers 24/7. There's no point innovating because it does what it's meant to do and people are happy with that lol. If people were unhappy about it I think someone would have made a better one in all the years I've "failed to innovate." Feel free to make a better one by all means, I really don't care. Kaphost isn't a server management add-on - that's not what it specialises in. I honestly have no idea what point you're trying to make.

By changing very few words, I prove how futile and historically self-contradicting your argument is.
(that worked out better than I thought it would)

I'm beginning to consider this. I may offer the personal package at no charge. However, it will strictly be limited to personal use, and professional will still cost (as it should). I would need more than one opinion on this, however.

[Acerblock]

I like that idea.

Ephi, please for the love of god stop stuffting on Jeep.

[Rub]

Free management is a much better idea, it's important to consider the target demographic of this game when pricing things. As Ephi says, this would be a genuine benefit to the community if it was free, there's definitely a niche for it. "Professional" accounts whilst, imo, wouldn't be popular, would probably cover your hosting costs.

No idea what you just said there Kalph, sounds handicapped as forget.

Err, except clearly people weren't so happy with it because when someone made a better one it gained more clients than you've ever had, including a lot of the ones you did have? And clearly you do care because you're scrambling to match all the features RTB's got?

Not really sure what you're getting at, again.

I like that idea.

Ephi, please for the love of god stop stuffting on Jeep.

I'm not - what I've said has just accomplished something that could benefit the community massively and is also an idea you just said you like. That's not stuffting on someone - that's steering them in the right direction.

We've been waiting for this the whole time. Both of you disregarded the project as a whole and insulted Jeep without really addressing any of this project's better parts.

Why am I arguing with people who ignore arguments? I could make any solid argument and it's ignored because I'm a "broken record" or because I sounded "handicapped as forget".

I'm sure most of the ~100 people I've done business with will say they were happy with the service they received. You made the claim that RTB does not have to expand because it does its "job". I changed your words saying that Kaphost does not have to expand because it did its job reliably: host servers. This is bullstuff logic and you know it.

Jesus Christ, stop quoting things without adding on. It really makes you look like you're inconsiderate of the actual argument.

[Zeblote]

Why am I arguing

Yeah, why?

[Kalphiter]

Yeah, why?

Because some people oppose misrepresented ideas because it comes too close their comfort zone of power and accomplishments.

Do you realise your arguing will gain absolutely nothing even if your points are valid?
Why must you and eliptats always fight

[Acerblock]

No offense Glass, but everywhere I see you go, you insult Kalphiter for nothing by cussing him out or requoting someone just to get your opinion across.

It seems like you are incapable of putting out a good argument. You need to stop, seriously.

[Ephialtes]

Haha calm down. If Kaphost doesn't have to expand because it does it's job (the reliable part is up for debate) then why are you working so hard to expand Kaphost to match RTB's features? This logic does not compute!!!

For the record I've not criticised any of the ideas in this thread - I'm not sure where you're getting that from. I think the ideas are all solid and I'd like to see them implemented. I only take issue with the way in which Jeep was going to implement them but I'm glad to see he's reconsidering and may be offering the functionality for free. If he manages to pull this off I have no doubt it'll be a great benefit for the community.
