Sorry, but lack of loops/timeouts is not an excuse to not create quality code. Some of the stuff I've seen on iEra is... urgh.

I'm not making a big deal out of it though, because all of us started out with pretty crappy code I'd imagine. I enjoy seeing new players going through the same learning process I did over 10 years ago.
