All of that being said, as per usual dunc has managed to make the community sound abrasive and rude.
and as usual you find everything you can to point out my various flaws
you haven't even the slightest clue what we've fucking put up with here, ok?
go read the old ideas and development subforum. read everything in there. 9 times out of 10, nothing in there ever happened. people would provide the sprites people asked for; the "modder" would disappear off the face of the earth. people would throw out great ideas and suggestions that went completely untouched.
we got fucking sick of it. we SHUT DOWN the subforum and instituted new rules against ideas threads. yet STILL, we get ideas threads asking for help. in fact, this thread itself is breaking the modding forum rules. no screenshots; no demo. in the past, I've contributed to modders who had already made promising demos, but still, my work goes fruitless. when I shit up threads like this, it's because I don't want other unsuspecting suckers like me getting jerked around by aspiring "modders" who don't even come close to delivering. so yeah, I was being a dick to the OP. but you know what, he broke the rules and he was acting entitled and asking far more from the community than he deserves. this shit makes me mad; that's why bobbyis and I shitposted up the thread. but you know, even our shitposts were mildly constructive. and so what that we didn't explain our shitposting? plenty of other people did. OP doesn't need 15 different explanations for what he's doing wrong. that's my rant about ideas threads.
He did say "collaboration" to start with. Several times in his post. He never said "I have a mod request". He verily implied that he wanted to be a major contributor to the project.
go watch noxid's tutorial, the one the sound clip is from, and hear the context of it. /this/ is what it's talking about. it's talking about "I can do story and scripting, but I need someone for all the music and all the sprites." it's talking about "I'm fine on my own, but I can't make music, so could someone make a bunch of music for me?" don't tell me that we're in the wrong for linking that most important of audio clips because he was just asking for a team; that's what it's about.
