Look, I aplogize for me and all the other GSTs, it is HARD to deal with people sometimes. I mean put it this way, scripting is like an art in a way, each scripter has a different way to do things. It is harder for her to help people with scripts sometimes because my attitude tends to be my style (I'm not talking about formatting) or no style, so it is literally an eyesore to see some peoples' scripts and I can't begin to help them because I don't know why they do things the way they did because in my opinion their way usually sucks. I was going to work on some template scripts such as a chat room system but unfortunatelly the scripts I was working on was on scripting dev which unixmad shut down with debug since Stefan is on vacation and hasn't put it back up even though I've asked him to. Just cause I said people may request things doesn't make it part of my job, it's just something I thought at the time would be nice and I didn't know what impact it would have on me.
I will admit the job has had a generally bad impact on me, and I personally think the GSTs have become more like a PWA since most of the work that seems to be done these days are helping playerworlds with playerworld related problems. I would help with those problems if the people contacted me kindly and professionally but I don't feel like crawling around on servers asking if there are any problems nor do I care that some of the members were asking for a raise in their admin powers because they said they did more work on things that weren't even related to their topic but yea, I don't care about that. Once I get the time to I'll fulfill the part of my job that I was thinking of before the team was established and I'll try to work on and release template scripts for servers to use (as long as someone doesn't try to claim credit and as long as the server gives credit where it is due)
EDIT:
I don't mind people asking me simple questions, but when it comes to scripting something for them or asking question after question I absolutelly refuse to help. Like if I give the answer, I don't want to be used as a crutch from now on and I don't want to be seen as the 'solution' to every problem
