Until recently, the last post on this thread was by dodicat on Nov 02, 2024.
On Apr 25, 2025 I came back to introduce Rnd7, a replacement for Rnd6Repeat, which, to my mind, did a better job. That was 15 days ago. I don't know what the views count was at Apr 25, 2025, but there have been a lot of views since
Rnd7 was further improved, and both adeyblue and dodicat contributed with some helpful posts.
I should be more than happy to get contributions from two of the best coders on this forum - but I am not.
The number of views currently stands at 18,139, but I have no idea if anyone is using Rnd6 or not. I am not alone - quite a few contributors never know whether their code has been used or not. We are not freeware authors - we are members of this forum and should not be treated as freeware authors. Having said that, some members have written "Thanks for sharing" but they are very few and far between. Believe it or not, I have actually written to freeware authors and thanked them for their applications. One guy was taken aback, and I got the impression I made his day, which was my intention. Have any of you ever done that?
I also have no idea if anyone downloaded the Help file. I intended to rewrite that since Rnd7 was improved. However, I have lost the will to do it.
coderJeff and fxm don't seem to get demotivated by a lack of feedback as I do, so maybe I am an oddball. Since joining this forum I have seen quite a few regular contributors cease to contribute so, perhaps, I am not such an oddball after all. I haven't said that I'll cease to contribute, but I am getting close. They ceased, but never explained why. I am having a rant, so that makes me an oddball in that respect. I have always had 'a bit of a mouth' on me, so it isn't odd for me.
How many of you have the guts to stand next to me and say: "You're right - this forum is its own worst enemy."
Of course, some of the ones who would have said that have now gone, but some may say that and still be here without contributing any more or much less than they used to. Some may say that and still be contributing regularly. Many will say nothing even if they agree with me; the lions share, I should imagine.
