Greetings, I'll respond to the review as the second owner of the project and, also, a developer. First of all, thank you for your honest opinion and for pointing out the problem areas. Secondly, I'll address most of the statements from this review.
- Regarding the purchase of modules and the template. In the stressful situation after the change of ownership, n number of wrong decisions were made. We were handed an empty project that we hadn't even had time to look over when people from various development teams flew into our server and started making demands, while simultaneously taking down the site and our other resources. Officially, I personally plan to buy the template, because I want to have official ownership + updates in the future. I haven't had my friend request accepted by Sidney yet, but I'll try to find somewhere else to buy the template if I don't get a response directly. As for the modules, to be honest, I don't even know which ones are purchased. As soon as I finish fixing the main bugs on the server side, I'll move on to the site. All purchased modules will be rebuilt and will have nothing in common with the previous ones (which we didn't buy).
- Regarding the leak, you are not accused. It was done by another person.
- Some people in positions were taken from other servers and had prior experience with this. Some were placed based on trust, but in smaller roles. There's no favoritism when it comes to covering up violations; all violations are strictly stopped, although this happens in the admin zone. In terms of the current staff, I can somewhat agree with you — I'm not satisfied with it either. All changes will be discussed in the coming days, when the leader returns home.
- As for the neural network, everyone has a different attitude toward it. Its entire result depends on whose hands it's in. I, having completed a 2-month pre-admission course on LLM models and prompt engineering, take a responsible approach to writing code and checking its quality. Nothing is written from scratch. The model is initially fed context with open-source modules written by hand, and only after training does the model begin its work. Personally, I see nothing wrong with using AI in the early stages of the project, when all the server's revenue doesn't allow covering the costs. In the future, as earnings increase, the modules\plugins will be rewritten by experienced developers. I appreciate the work of people who strive for development in writing plugins, but sometimes it's financially more profitable for the project to make some concessions in terms of investment-profit. At the moment I only deal with the server's technical side, I'm not responsible for the site. If something there is shitcoded by an AI, I'll sit down and redo it.
- Regarding your ban, I haven't been brought up to speed on it, but if I were the other developer, I would have wanted to hear concrete criticism of the shitcoding rather than just the statement AI = cripple.
I hope I managed to at least slightly change your opinion toward the server with this response. Thanks for reading, have a nice game.🥇
