Exactly. Zapk is a good example of a closed source coder. His last two mods, Rising Lava and Prop Hunt, were very fun, but if there were more than 5 servers hosting it, they'd have to share an already small playerbase (of people who play these gamemodes, not blocklanders) and they'd each have a max of 8 or 9 players most likely. also, it is not a coder's duty to release their mod. for example, let's say bushido makes a really popular gamemode. if he gives it to the public, it'll be very easy to play, and could bore everybody after a little while. but if he hosts it in small bursts, perhaps a few hours per day, he can keep people interested, and give himself time to code new features to prevent boredom.
I wasn't thinking about fickle 12 year olds while constructing my post but alright, I guess some people are jealous of marble man's ability to make a snowball catapult. I'm not. Most people aren't. Script kiddy is a slang term that's not defined in a dictionary so I'm not sure why you're getting brown town about it. I guess I should've used "not very good at coding coder"
The keyword was being "stupid stuff", as in, they make something that's extremely insignificant and then they think it makes them prestigious and then not release it excepting people to beg for it. It's not a problem, it's just pathetic.
they're not expecting people to beg for it? here's a good brown townogy. a cook makes a really good meal for his restaurant. if he gave the recipe to everyone, nobody would go there. if a coder releases his mod, he doesn't have a popular server anymore. i can understand your point for a few things truce made (like the rope emitters) and i'm sure other people have made people beg for trivial mods, but it's not their duty and it's in their interest to keep their servers popular.
