People like this deserve nothing but death

If anyone wanna read a fun conversation i had with this awesome bullshitter guy who thinks he can impress on me by telling me he does a lot of work.

I cannot understand why people are so obsessed with having their code closed source. It simply doesnt make sense, sure if customizations are kept private, but really.... blizzlike stuff etc.. Should really be kept open source until development is "done" (Never)

Lets extend this with: https://gist.github.com/3840030

Well, it's much like the hundreds of servers out there, where on every single one, a member is said to be a mangos team members... not like we ever had a few hundred developers on team, but hey.

Welcome to the world of bullshit!

Yes indeed, actually i am a part of the mangos team (check github ;P) But i dont really call myself a part of the mangos team, and my "server project" will be open source code, but database will be closed =) I think that is quite fair

[TheLuda]

I was rather referring to tons of servers who claim to have a mangos developer on board, but actually have zero

Yeah i understood so ^^, But are there many servers using mangos? (For 3.3.5) Seems like all 1.12 are mangos, and maby 2.4.3 are mangos, but how is it with 3.3.5? And are there people using R2? ^^, Just curious

[TheLuda]

Officially nobody uses mangos. Most servers will tell you

• they forked mangos/trinity
  
• from branch A/b/C/1337
  
• backported thousands of fixes from unnamed other branches
  
• and added tons of their own fixes to make their server blizzlike
  

When you ask them to give back to the community, since mangos/trinity/etc. is Open Source, they will usually reply

• that their core was to heavily modified to backport
  
• they would submit their fixes later when they have the time
  
• their core is not mangos/trinity/etc. and not compatible at all
  
• they are members of the mangos team and personal friends with theluda
  

And hell, it seems I heard those replies thousands of times, and have a friend on every public realm...

Haha^^ I tell people i have a mangos fork as well, but i have it opensource and link it to them in case they are interested

When you ask them to give back to the community

It was necessary to educate and organize the work of community little earlier. Now (in August), it was highly belated, and it looks like the failed attempt.

It's closed sourced so you cant find the sloppy code!!!

Good one! But sloppy code is better then no code
