Stop ragging on LOTF!

I just wanted to put this out there for people to read. I've been reading post after post about how crappy LOTF is and how bad the coding is blah blah blah. I'm not going to say its awesome, because in truth, the coding could be better. But LOTF is a source that open the gateway for tons of people to gain a desire to learn to code. Granted, there are a lot of people who don't want to learn, and only want to host a pserver... but thanks to LOTF that is possible too. I think that from now on, instead of submitting posts about how crappy a source is, you should just offer ways to fix it.

For those who have learn from LOTF, congratulations, your on your way to becoming a C# coder. Keep learning all you can. For those who only host a pserver and don't want to learn to code... good for you, but don't expect a server to stay up long without knowledge of coding. For everyone else, give a little respect to the man who wrote the LOTF source.... for he has given much to the community. Without him, most people here would have no knowledge of coding what so ever, and would still be searching for a "good" source.

Thank you.

Yeah... I dunno why everyone is so disappointed from LOTF source, when 90-95% of the members here on e*pvp that want to learn C# learned so much from it! :mad:

taguro totaly agree I learned everything from it ! Its simple to understand !
glupkotrup agree to ! I'v played this game long time ago and my friend known that I have a WoW Server so they asked me to make a Co server but I didin't wanted to...
after wow got borred and I need to wait for new WoWTLK I started on this game server
the 1rst scource I used was lotf and I didint known who made it what it has but I was happy because it was easy to understand I learned everything I know in 2 weeks I'm very good at C++ coding C# was new to me and without knowing anything or reading books I started and I learned fast :)
everyone who would like to start serious server should start with LOTF !

and taguro I totaly aggree with your Idea about stop flaming it and start posting guides to fix bugs !
i we all work together we can make LOTF better then it is ^_^

@Shadow WOW TLK will be release on 13th November (Also I have a wow private server, named WowGasm :D) And WOW its the easiest thing that I ever saw in my life... You can create a p-server in 5 mins so that's why I decided to make a co p-server :D:D

/Agreed... Anyways I just coded a new code: /summon god

The code will summon a beast which will kill all players on that map (using /kill [map ID])

Well, I agree to a point. It is worth the bother if your new to C# programming and have a strong desire to learn. Then it becomes a fun challenge. I've been working on rewriting the database.cs file, and man, its been a hard road. The upside is, I've learn an incredible amount from just taking the time and effort to learn.

The problem with learning from bad code is that you might just learn how to code badly :x
