[QUOTE="Object, post: 483268, member: 78351"] To be fair though, a lot of people who is now charging people for help once upon a time used to do a bunch for free, either releases or constant helping. A huge "issue" within the scene is people has completely lost the capability of "critical" thinking and their first instinct is to [B]always[/B] ask for help before either trying and in a lot of cases they don't even read or check themselves - Imagine this might happen 5 or 10 times during a single day and it eventually drains you (Talking from experience). Let alone half the people you help, will straight up take the info you gave them and charge the next in line for help. I had a bunch of ideas regarding various guides, and the guides I did write even though it have helped a lot of people, it eventually turned into a thing where people privately was taking up so much of my time that i got completely drained from it and never ended up renewing existing or creating new ones. A lot of the questions I got asked privately was mainly things I had already described within the guide(s) but sadly a lot of people do not bother at all, and they will instinctively go to you if you're an active "helper" and ask you the same questions over and over, no matter how well you describe it in a thread or how many times someone have explained a solution within the thread - the reason? this way they can stumble their way around and once they come across something that didn't just work out of the box, it's quicker (and requires less thinking) for them to ask you instead of spending the 10 extra minutes reading up on the issue or go through a guide and learn from it. I'm not saying this is a thing that counts for every single individual, but it's an ridiculous amount of people that falls within the category above. [USER=74752]@Bran[/USER] is consistently releasing new habbo furniture (already converted into .nitro files and ready to use) & [USER=80070]@Puffin[/USER] have also made a guide a while back on how to add furniture to your catalog, let alone released a now bit older version of his hotels entire catalog. I myself have written multiple in-depth guides on how to setup IIS, Nitro, Arcturus MS, Atom CMS, MariaDB and more. I've also released multiple scripts (on my Github) which have detailed explanation, and even then i used to get private messages from people asking me for example: "Where do I get my API key" or similar to those, even though a link was provided within the explanation. And I'm sure there's also plenty of other guides and releases out there I haven't mentioned. I completely understand your idea behind "imagine you're brand new" how ever regarding that - If you want to setup your retro in the first place, then you're already somewhat aware about the existence of various communities e.g. Devbest, Krews etc. and once you find DevBest and if you're serious about creating a retro - like actually trying, then it wont be hard to go through the "Habbo releases" and "Habbo tutorials" sections on here. So I don't completely see the need for a collection of threads, as any up2date guides and releases is already on page 1 of any section - The retro scene is long gone from what it used to be, most sections remains "dead" for weeks outside of a few help requests, so there's no chance that relevant threads gets pushed far down. Of course if you wish to create guides or tutorials for certain areas, you should definitely do it, you should how ever be prepared for the potential repetition that comes with it, it quickly becomes an annoyance, knowing you've spent multiple hours writing something down for the public just to realise it was completely ignored in favor of laziness.
