let's talk about Donations

[The Brighter Dark]

Ephialtes has since stopped most development of the free part of RTB. It's really disappointing to see his priorities in exclusiveness.

Oh yea, now i see what you mean. I am still waiting for the rtb buffet

Everyone sure do love hats.

Here's a suggestion: stop making RTB-exclusive features.

Would be hard to do this as a non-RTB feature, the whole point of the feature being integrated with RTB hosting is so donators can trust that their money is going towards the upkeep of the server.

You're acting like RTB is the only host. Hint: there are two other ones that are very active.

Here's another way to do it: for those wanting to work outside of the RTB hosting bubble, make sure that the money that was donated to them is publicly viewable.

The people outside the RTB hosting bubble can do it however they want, we're just suggesting a feature that benefits our customers (who happen to be a lot of people, check your data).

People can build off our idea and do it however they want, up to them.

I'm pretty sure many people would want to continue developing RTB if ephi would let them

RTB simply is the best hosting service because of these features and their exclusiveness

I'm talking about more than just this feature. Ephialtes only cares about his customers. Actually, that's not true. Ephialtes rarely responds to support tickets.

Since the launch of the hosting service, free RTB has pretty much frozen.

Ephialtes specifically forbids any further development of RTB unless he says so:

This work is licenced under the Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-No Derivative Works 2.0 UK: England & Wales License.

No one can fork it meaning that is has to be started from scratch. Considering he's been so denying of the fact that he's not developing RTB that much anymore, RTB isn't getting handed to anyone anytime soon.

Also, the seriousness of this license should probably be taken as seriously as Ephialtes treated my add-on take-down requests.

I'm glad you support exclusiveness instead of features the community can benefit from.

Lol, I would advise against trusting Kalphiter as the authority on RTB's active development status. He's still a bit sore over ... you know what ...

Okay then. I'll let your publications do the talking.

- Fixed case where certain server variables weren't getting saved correctly.
- Changes to fix the Net::getAddress() return format changed in Blockland r1808.
- Adding num and float variable types for RTB prefs, submitted by Wheatley (11953).
- Fixing LAN IP detection to include the 168 portion of the reserved 192.168 space.

(btw you should add the 172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255 address space, but you ignored my request)

- RTB version text now on main menu buttons gui so it gets hidden correctly
- Server control now uses correct prefs for name/welcome message/others
- Increased player count selection to 99
- Server control now updates the F2 window
- New color manager added - Removed old color manager gui
- Patched admin messages on rtb chat
- RTB pref hook reloaded on server restart due to oddities
- Added requested compatibility changes for connection request/connect args methods

It's been 9 months since a major update. We're only asking for some active development from you, a person you ask, or from a person to whom you give the mod. A little honesty would be nice.

[Big Brøther]

gotta love how thirsty for attention he is, pretty much any chance he gets.

What makes you think that minor updates don't imply active development?

Lets be real. It has been over two years since you've updated your service with a 'major update'. That is a little longer than 9 months. Hows your new panel doing, still five months overdue?

[Ephialtes]

You'll have to forgive him for not fully comprehending what's involved in managing a project the size of RTB. His experience starts and ends with various small time projects like clock bricks.

How long has your login page been 5 words and 3 lines of code?

The 4 things were tiny changes.
1) This is bug-fixing and not new content.
2) Bug-fixing caused by an update that broke server information and something else (it took 2 months for this to get fixed)
3) New content, but not very big
4) Fixing programming error under 10 characters

See above. For the sake of all of us, be more honest.

you totally ignored the question that I asked and went on to post petty bullstuff as per usual. What makes you think that minor updates don't imply active development?
