[Hammer_]

The server is back.

Didn't I say, Server is gonna br back tmrw no one believed me still it came back.

[Axison]

I doubt they'd take a dev who tried to script RS4 from scratch when we moved to RS5 though...

Hah. I don't see that as a bad thing though. And that happened when? 2 years ago..? We gotta learn to move on.

[Paledian]

Latest updates? What happened?

[John Ley]

Server is back today, there are a few problems with properties and money but it will be fixed soon. WB Argo.ه

It's hard to get good, loyal people to work on a project for free.

It isn't hard at all if you treat them right. Programming is a hobby for any good programmer, so anything that sparks their interest they will do, even if it means scripting a SA:MP server for free. However, if you start treating them like shit and as a security risk, they become agitated and they leave. Most of them will simply script something of their own and launch another community. Why? Because they can. They have the skills to make new scripts. They are the lifeblood of a community, if the community recognises them to their full potential.

Well they did ban you didn't they? It's about the trust, I'm not saying you'd be a bad dev though.

Unfortunately,  developers have RL jobs and such that take priority as you'd expect. Plus a developers time is expensive, often they may have projects on the side that are paid for by their own clients, so when you can pick up work that is paying a hefty wage, instead of doing it for free and taking crap, it's no choice at all!

Correct, they did. I for one thought that was stupid. Sure, if I was coming on to Argonath and spamming the chat with ads then it’s justified. However, I was simply banned for using my free time to script for a community that was created because some people didn’t want to play RS5. I never intended it to be that way and the management saw it, hence why I was unbanned. I don’t see how what I did in my free time caused them to loose “trust” in me. Sure, if I was a developer here then it would’ve been a conflict of interest but I was just a player at Argonath. Don’t you think that was a little dumb for Zaila to do?. But what’s done is done, I think we should all move forward and try to make this community a better place.

P.S Thanks. I don’t think I’d be a bad dev either

The server is up, isn't it? Shouldn't this topic be locked?
