[Destiny]: Whitelisted dungeon masters.

..But look at the Katana idea. Put in limbo, somebody actually coded it and now it's sitting in the patches subforum for literally a year.

I dunno, I put the katana in limbo a while ago.

Nevermind about the limbo, i'm looking at the patches forum here. It's been sitting there a year, most people like it and it's been coded. This is something that someone actually made an effort to code. I know it's just a kawaii sword, but I feel it sets a bad precedence.

I think a bit problem (or is it a fact of life, I dunno really at this point) is that it's much easier to come up with great ideas rather than code the actual stuff.
Also, the reason a lot of things sit in limbo or good ideas don't get used is because this is a hobby/passion project for many coders, we don't get paid or anything.
Because of that, we end up working on random stuff that we like, see: me and tanning beds, which literally nobody asked for.

These are things we already know and appreciate.

But then it begs the question: What is the purpose of this forum (idea's and suggestions) if coders are just going to work on their own projects?

Would it not be better if this forum is repurposed entirely to something that could HELP coders? Spriters, playtesters, other coders to look at it?
That way it becomes a back scratching thing rather than someone submitting ideas constantly hoping someone will take up the mantle?

I've been here 4 years and it's been clear idea's and suggestions is a failure. I don't like to use harsh words but honestly that's what it is.
