-Stops noobs getting confused as to which client to download
-Reduces the amount of unnecessary work mods have to do
I really can't believe there are so many clients that all use the same code but just have a different name in the title.
This section seems to consist of around:
- 5 hackers
- 10 people who release those hacks (under their own name for some reason)
- 500+ leechers (maybe thousands)
Releasing all these client means there is no reason for leechers to learn anything and it would appear that most of them don't even know how to use notepad.
I guess what I am getting at is that people need to cut back on releasing clients and make tutorials instead (like Nilly and JustAnoobROTMG). Tutorials last and can be referred to in later versions.
If you can't resist whoring yourself out for 'thanks', at least wait a few days before releasing clients and give people an incentive to learn and do things for themselves. If nobody ever bothers to learn anything, we are stuck with the same few hackers finding/creating things, but if more people learn stuff, then we can have a more productive forum.
I am not saying that you should never release clients, but let the people who actually put the effort in enjoy it for a while first. Then when you do get round to releasing the client, check that someone else hasn't done it already.

(probably wrong section, but it needed to be said)
