A few times I’ve typed out a comment. Then swiped down on the comment window to minimize it so I can reread someone else’s comment. Just to make sure I’ve got my facts straight. Then I realize that my comment is gone. It was 5 paragraphs. I’m not retyping all of that. So, I move on.

I’m an idiot. So, I’ve done this like 3 times in the past week.

Please please please consider this.

Thank you so much for the time and effort you’ve put into this project.

Hehe

In college a friend and I built a world for an online D&D game. He did the programming, and I handled all the sever, networking, and hosting/building the forums. We did all this for free for years, and not only was it thankless. It was something that ate up a lot of our free time.

We eventually became very popular, and even started receiving donations to the tune of a few hundred bucks a month. But for the first few years we did it all just because that’s what we wanted to do. We built not only the world, but every conversation you had with an npc. We play tested every spawn, mob and boss relentlessly to make sure it was all how it was supposed to be.

That’s why I feel this urge to be extra polite and pleasant to people that make things I find useful, but haven’t paid for yet. Because, nothing is worse than dealing with an ass hole that’s benefiting from (what is for now) your labor of love.
