:::::::::"If nobody complains, then it's certain things will never get fixed." I think you're overestimating your contribution and underestimating the ability of devs. Sure, it's great when users help find bugs, but it really sucks when they forget who's actually doing the work. All too often users start demanding ridiculous features and start pointing out so-called bugs which turn out to be user-fail. You see this in forums all the time. End-users with a sense of entitlement demand too much from devs and take the fun out of the project. I see it here all the time too. People ask for new features with no concept of the amount of work required for actually implementation. I'm not asking people to stop giving feedback, I'm just saying don't get mad when you have no control over a project because you're not contributing in the least and the project owner takes it in a direction you don't like (ex, quitting it). And, extending from that point, don't act entitled to progress by bitching about devs abandoning their projects. -- [[User:MetaFight|MetaFight]] 04:16, 14 May 2009 (UTC) | :::::::::"If nobody complains, then it's certain things will never get fixed."
