I'd just like to say that I've already seen tremendous improvement within the community. And not the kind you get for an hour and a half after a post like this one or your other two that I can recall, but so far it's been a steady improvement that's maintained the test of time for much longer than the previous whiplash improvements.

I've only really scoured the Starbucks and General discussion topics, and occasionally script releases. I stopped tampering with scripting in RunUO a long time ago, just kicking back and taking a breather, awaiting 2.0 and figured when it comes out I'll dilly dally with the new options and get back in slowly. Then I'll be back to assisting people, when I make sure everything I remember still works, lol.

I'm so glad there's been noticable improvements all around. It feels good to post again!

This is an absolutely stunning decision and one that can only be of benefit to the community as a whole. So many people I know have viewed these forums in the past as a 'necessary evil' rather than a place for support and simply use them to obtain scripts, offering nothing in return for fear of humiliation from certain individuals whom many would not voice against for fear of becoming a target for their 'click'.

Hopefully now, helpfulness will become more of a status symbol than notoriety.

A-fucking-men. The 'snob' factor is one of the reasons I really don't frequent the boards unless I have some serious question. I get pissed off seeing people struggling to understand something simple only to get told off/pseudo-moderated by the older members.

A Huge Thank You To Ryan

Ya know Ryan, it's because of being flamed that I stopped even looking at these forums for 3 months. I was new, as I stated and almost every post I made a certain someone was flaming me on the simple question that I asked. I was bored one night, at the beginning of this month, going through my bookmarks and decided to take a quick peek to see if anything changed. I noticed a change and thought to myself, hmm...certain flaming posts are missing here, people are actually helping people now. I can't tell you all the wonderful changes that are taking place here. I love it. For the past couple of weeks I have spent more time catching up on these forums than actually in game!
This is a huge step for the community - a step in the right direction.
Maybe now I can actually learn something, and eventually help others as I learn.
God only knows how many people just didn't bother to check back and left the forums for good - people that would probably be very helpful to us this day. Let's not take that road again. Let's look in the direction of improving communication - which is what it boils down to - and make this a much better and stronger community.
Thank you Ryan!!

With the new community spirit here I also may start reapearing on these forums.

I was getting tired of the way things were going. I was also very busy in real life and had litle time to script or help people.

Making runUO a noob friendly place will just allow it to grow more.
I understand the "Omfg, noobs never use the search button !", but this should be transformed into "he doesn't seem to know how to use the search button, i'll do it for him and describe how I got that answer so that he can do so by himself next time".

It's always good to go through something with someone the first time. Stuff can be really confusing if you don't know how it works or how to get around a certain environment (sometimes it's just terminology that mixes people up..).

I guess what I'm saying is by helping a noob in a constructive way, you remove a noob. (if that makes any sense).

thank you ryan. I've been very hesitant in posting because i was always afraid of getting a nasty reply. I am so new to c# that i don't even understand the simple syntax yet so a reply like that never helped me learn.
I'm really looking forward to learning more and more.

Tons and Tons of sense. I cant remember who it was that said it first. Its a very old sentiment tho:

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day Teach him to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

I got the feeling from a lot of the posts as I was researching my own problems that Some of the "Uber l33T coders" thought that if you taught a noob they were somehow Giving them a fish etc etc. Most of us only wanted a pointer in the right direction.

Ryan AMEN Bro AMEN
