I've only just started frequenting Cemetech, so my understanding of this topic is fairly light.  So correct me if I'm wrong.  However,

It seems to me that Cemetech has a higher expectation of competence on its newcomers?
It also seems to met that Omnimaga has a higher expectation on its senior members to help new ones? 

(lol, it'd be funny if there's a conservative vs liberal mindset conflict here.  But the last thing we need is to inject politics into this, so I digress...)

I think both perspectives are valid.  If Cemetech's higher focus on independence perhaps leads to harsher comments, so be it.  There are benefits and downfalls to every single point of view, and people are free to frequent whichever forum they wish.  But the one thing we don't need to do is bash each other, or try to turn either forum into a clone of the other.  Some diversity is good.

Let's just all get along?  Please?  Both forums have lots to offer, and it'd be silly to start a flame war.

My website: Currently boring.

Projects:
Axe Interpreter
   > Core: Done
   > Memory: Need write code to add constants.
   > Graphics: Rewritten.  Needs to integrate sprites with constants.
   > IO: GetKey done.  Need to add mostly homescreen IO stuff.
Croquette:
   > Stomping bugs
   > Internet version: On hold until I can make my website less boring/broken.

We could also compare Omnimaga VS Ticalc VS UnitedTI vs TI-BANK vs Cemetech? Heinh? Tough battle,

but...

not needed

Since we all program Free to calculators, we don't need to start a war.

However, that's just my point of view :s

Jeez, Scout, what is happening to your respect?  I think someone's out to get you.

That said, it was solved a few days ago anyway, so no need to dwell on the issue. Omnimaga is Omnimaga. Cemetech is Cemetech. Plus a lot of members from those sites visits both, anyway, which proves that both are good in some ways.

As for the respect issue, I spotted a person that abused the rating system and he has been warned. If he continues he'll be banned for vandalism.

If I succeed with my 8xp to txt I may try PHP and make an "OmniTyper" hahaha, but that would be truly hard and almost impossible, since I suck at PHP

Well I think SourceCoder does the job pretty fine right now and instead of making an alternative it might be best to suggest features to Kerm, who might implement them if enough people are interested.

The only point of making an "OmniTyper" would be to compete with SourceCoder.

IMO, a non-Internet program to do what SourceCoder does would be far more useful than something trying to imitate SourceCoder.



The userbars in my sig are links embedded links.

And in addition to calculator (and Python!) stuff, I mod Civilization 4 (frequently with Python).

Yeah. That said I noticed there are quite a lot of offline ones lately too, though. There was Cooliojazz, then one year later Tokens then now ScoutDavid wants to make one. It might be best to just unite forces and create an even better one by providing suggestions. Merthsoft version seems to be progressing along nicely so it could be that one.
