Organizing Threads{...}

First things first, Thanks for those who helped me get a better understanding of how RandomSeeding works and all; I managed to learned a lot from your comments & came to a solution.

Okay so here I am doing my research and taking a good look at several bases for resources yet I notice that a couple seem to have .cs files bunched up in 1 folder, Its all over the place, I was wondering if that really matters when-in development of a source, its always good to keep your stuff documented and/or organized but does it truly matter? And can it cause any harm later on to the source/server?

Organization is useful for a number of reasons.

#1: Saves time. Clean folders and class hierarchy makes your job coding new features, fixing bugs and tracking code INFINITELY easier. I'm talking many many hours of saved time

#2: Follows coding standards. Useful to help others read your code well but is also important if you ever care to get a job in programming... There are coding standards which should be followed (naming conventions, hierarchy, etcetctetc)

#3: NO reason not to organize stuff. It's being lazy!

I don't mean you should spend huge amounts of time worrying about it... you just need to be aware of it and take a few minutes to organize things in a way that make sense, is efficient and can be followed easily.

Well said, Thanks. I'll look for a stable/worth working with base and/or source to get better general ideas towards the subject.

Yes. ALWAYS document and keep your stuff organized. If it's not organized, re-code it to the point that it is. This is essential stuff.
