I'm just saying it because you won't help ANYONE out. OK, there's the occasional poster who comes in and says "LoLOmGWDf IM JAGEeeX ANd IMd MAKIngG RunDEXScApE3 N0 JoKE" and you guys [validly] shut him out.

But then there's the serious game developers that come in and ask for help and you won't help them because they don't have anything to show. But if they do have something to show (and it passes your standard), you won't help them for free. It's really quite selfish.

Now I'm an artist/concept designer and I'm looking for an ActionScripter. I posted examples of what I've done (with help in coding) and you help me for 5 minutes then tell me to pay you to help.

What's the use of this forum? I don't know about everyone else here, but I make Flash games for fun and if I make a little money on the side, that's just an added bonus. Will anyone program a game with me (HEAVEN FORBID, FOR FREE)?
