Title: Tired of lack of help!!!
Post by: doubledragoncc on December 25, 2020, 12:06:11 PM
Hi, Im sorry but I am now sick and tired that having to run 2 databases and getting bugger all help from modders to keep up to date.

I do this for YOU!!!

All I ask is send me direct links NOT bloody Discord links as it is a problem on my PC and I should not have to search for updates to help you all

I AM BUSY and have a life but try to help keep a place for all mods but it is getting a real pain to do so.

If I cant get help I will just shut the servers down as now they are nearly full at over 100GB and it will cost me money to continue.

Sorry but it needs to be done.

Well said DD.....

There was a time when this community was a community that pulled together and helped each other as much as we could, but unfortunately it's slowly but insidiously gone the other way as more and more people have arrived in the community to selfishly do their own thing without consideration for already established ways of doing things....
Sad and unfortunate what happens when a community doesn't abide by some common sense etiquettes to keep things working smoothly.

I fully support your decision mate..... Go for it; if people here care at all they will start to see that it's not a lot to ask these modders to simply throw you a link to their work each time they create or update their MODS.......

C'mon guys..... WAKE-UP!!

Sometimes I wait to send links because I may update it often, so it may be annoying getting send new link everytime

Do you need to update often? Why not just work on a mod and release an update once every two weeks or even just once every month on a set regular date that everyone involved(modders, database and race server admins) can organise for & agree to do updates on?

I try to make less updates as possible, but atm I have just one project that I update often, and hopefully the next one will fix few issues and will be good for the new beta. (been like 11 days since last update now, lol)
