However, i'd like to suggest it gets removed from the forum. In the past when new users didn't know what they were doing (myself included at one stage) pre-compiled releases were briliant. At the moment though, the general userbase is able to follow instructions on how to checkout and compile a revision on any OS, and there are very few posts about this - I wouldn't like to see users falling back into what some of us would call old habbits. I like having users who don't know what they're doing checking out the wiki - it's how they learn. The more they learn, the less support topics get opened. If we keep the subforum and more builds get submitted, then one of my favourite phrases can be applied "No point making things fool poof.. they just make better fools :/". This is just my two pennys - Spre don't hate on me @_@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you get what I mean.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-compiled releases was the first stage of learning for me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like it takes much time to compile a server, so I disagree as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like it takes much time to compile a server I think that is not a big deal since noob users are the most beneficial from this pre-compiled releases..
