PhantOS:
if you keep coming up with crazy new and practical ideas but have no way to see them through yourself, just start posting it in suggestions or pming people like zeblote or port to make it for you.
Conan:
dont pm port or zeblote to make stuff for you. both have receded from the community for this exact reason, people constantly asking them for stuff

I get that it can get annoying, but if you're like, the best person for a particular job, then of course you're gonna get a lot of attention for it
The reason they get messaged a lot is because they may know more about these kind of things than others, so they get recommended much more than others
This is the first time i'm hearing it, but if they really did bail, and for that reason, that's kind of selfish on their part

idk man i wouldnt call it selfish. if everyone and their mother at your school/workplace always came to you for help, at some point id bet you'd get tired of it. even soup kitchens have holidays or days off - you can't assume these people will want to work for free constantly.
like sure, selfish by definition, but its not selfish in a bad way. i enjoy helping people, but id hate it if the second i come online on steam or blockland people pestered me about making stuff or helping them make stuff. it would make me want to cut ties with everyone cause its just a drain, i cant enjoy the game like that. sure, im the best person for the job, but im not there just to help you. and its kinda sad if it really is a fact of life that the second you get good at something, people stop respecting your free time and interests. i like to think people are willing to be respectful enough to give them space if they so wish it, and these two have done so by receding from the community.

First time hearing this as well :\ but no worries m8s, I've never asked anyone to make me something ;) I like to be as independent as I can when I try to make addons from ideas I have, that's part of the satisfaction! But there is much I do not know so I ask when I can't find an example to modify and whatnot. Maybe someday I will be able to write code out of thin air...
Back on track: I appreciate all of your replies! Not a whole lot closer to figuring out how to make this work but I have taken the advice into consideration and will update if I get supa close. Thanks!
