Phenigma has just under 500 forum posts (Granted that could all be spam or questions that are completely unhelpful to the community, I haven't gone through them all by hand).
I believe that participating in this community IS a form of contribution, and I find it offensive that you seem to suggest otherwise.
... must... not... troll...
... counterproductive...
tschak909 has just under 4400 posts, and has written more lines than most have read...
Does he not get to be offended that it is suggesting he isn't "helping"?
Nahh... that's crazy talk. I am kind of a tschak stalker, so my position is probably a little biased... but I like phenigma (outside of this odd outburst). I think phenigma was out of line and off base, and had to know it would provoke a reaction. However lots of chatting and no doing is not contributing in the larger sense. I mean, sticking a support bumper sticker on the back of your SUV isn't exactly the same as fighting the war. Can only fix so much stuff and make so much forward progress with fewer devs than I have fingers. Major changes in methodology mean more work on an overstressed team... which is not to in any way disparage totallymaxed's team's tremendous contributions. They don't OWE anybody anything that I know of. Not keeping it to themselves I see as a gift, however I see why the guys in the trenches might have appreciated some collaboration.
That was as non-trolly as I could be.
