Servers don't need GPU, but CPU.

my first post on the topic can be considered my "ban appeal". Undoubtedly it has been screenshotted and disseminated on the discord and lengthy commentaries and discussions on it are in progress; as are all my forum posts, which are heavily read by the "downstream" discord commu...

Undoubtedly you did which is why you've had to demote many of them... I am not responsible in handling staff/member demotions nor mute/bans on the MT discord. I am also not part of the staff team either. Im just simply a user who is giving you advice while spilling facts. How am I meant to appeal a...

This has to be one of the most immature threads I have ever read on this forum. OP, members have the option to choose whatever they want as a chat platform. You have no jurisdiction to tell us what we should/should not use. No one is separating because platforms like discord exists, this is why we h...

Here's what you don't seem to understand runs. You can make your own game without the need to use MTG, the option is there (look at warr1024 and jordach's current projects). Minetest has no backstory to even be considered a full specific game, at the moment it's treated as a open-source sandbox canv...

I'll say this again. Minetest is considered to be a game engine despite relying on a specific game engine like Irrlicht because it welcomes the creations of community custom made games which necessarily doesn't mean that you have to stick to default mod soup to make a full game, only lazy peple do t...

The Unofficial Discord practically lit up like a Christmas Tree with activity proves that something is clearly wrong. To quote a few users off of UD: https://i.imgur.com/bGp2jYP.png https://i.imgur.com/UnK8NGa.png I have an alt at the UMTD which I hardly ever check on (I checked on it back when run...

I get the impression that the part of the community that predominantly active on Discord really loves drama and jumps at every opportunity to have it, no matter if it's justified, relevant or truthful. From the screenshots I've seen at various occasions discussion there can get quite toxic too. Nop...

Brutal mod!!!! :-D The majority of Minetets forumers do not want that kinds of mods and not allowed. I respect them. i could not give a fart in a high wind what they do not want . its open source so everyone has the freedom to do what they want .so you have to respect everyones creative right. Brut...

Minetest won't ship without Minetest Game until a new mainmenu is created. A new mainmenu will present new users with a list of games on their first launch, allowing them to choose a game to download. Here's my current prototype: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2122943/80736588-40b8ad00-8...

Let me give an example: recently I met a few people who create music and wanted to somehow enrich this or that minetest game with their songs. But nobody wants to add music to the game. These are large files and this is a problem. We thought then that it would be nice to have a CSM full of music an...

What was the OP about again? Should probably move this fork talk into a new topic or something

Discussing about "Failures of Core Devs and the Needs of Content Creators" not "Minetest is dead, let's make a Fork!"

Honestly I am getting really tired of delayed progress due to poor decisions being made and constant separations that the community is plotting as a result of these decisions. I've been sucking it up for too long to the point that I just had enough of it. The only helpful solution right now is to po...

If only c55 had HR, which he obviously does not have HR set for his core devs. So this is out of the question. I love that kind of answers: no because no, no, no, no. If that joke about HR was funny, that reply would at least have a humorous sense. There is nothing wrong to let the job be done by s...

An engine without games - Since MTG is in maintenance only mode, it is official that Minetest ships with no real games. The struggle of banishing MTG is strong, but core devs refuse to stop this X) And you're right. this is a game engine. should be treated as one rather than a full game MTG is inev...

So if anyone else is still unhappy and not pleased about Minetest depending on Irrlicht. then write your own game engine like what oilboi is doing and form your own community. oilboi is doing this because he is not pleased with Minetest's current performance issues. A Fork right now is currently poi...

Instead of thinking about a fork, you could think about a paid audit. Hire someone who will review each line of the code, analyzing the code according to the guidelines made for that purpose... If only c55 had HR, which he obviously does not have HR set for his core devs. So this is out of the ques...

If anyone wants to "fork" minetest, my personal opinion is to just rewrite it from scratch in a more modern toolkit like godot. Forking the minetest that is based on irrlicht is useless IMO because you're just going to inherit the same weaknesses and design decisions of irrlicht-minetest,...

a dying project, (not to say Minetest is dying, but it's seen better days) https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcRPyV31Jl0D-JdbpwXwu37wtr1rTtBF24PWPw&usqp=CAU Among the many demanding qualities required to be able to pull off a fork, the ability to shrug off some internet hate...

A fork isn't a bad thing per se, and "supporting the community" is putting the cart before the horse, it isn't what a fork needs to succeed, it just needs devs. If a fork has just one person working on it and he fails to attract anyone else, then sooner or later it dies. If the person who...

So maybe these people - me included - are the problem, but is the silence treatment the right approach? Dialogue is key, always. Maybe core devs are so fed up, stressed, can't even breathe, fine: but let's talk about it, let's understand each other. These problems can't be solved one way. Silent tr...

Also, yes, given the current situation, to me the best solution is a fork. it doesn't invite features, it only separates the community further. The community is separated already. Us, idiots, and them, people with power not giving a crap. Try to change that https://memegenerator.net/img/instances/5...

Also, yes, given the current situation, to me the best solution is a fork. I completely disagree entirely with you on forks. it doesn't invite features nor encourages them for minetest, it only divide the community further. Name me at least one fork that did good for Minetest itself? Majority of fo...
