Yeah, I was not that long ago. I never posted questions until I had played
with it for over a half hour (more like a few hours for some problems) and
if by then, none of the people around me knew either.

We're not trying to stop you from learning C. What we're trying to stop is
the questions that relate to C coding and not CircleMUD. It's fine if you
post a new command you wrote and ask why isn't this working but not for
random C questions. Which, Chuck has been doing that too but he seems to
learn from that so it's not irritating. You launched into this big 'Help!
Help! I'm being repressed!' tirade. It's not the corruption inherent in
the system.

There are many ways to go about coding things.

FAQ:
Stick to CircleMUD topics. Discussing non-CircleMUD topics such
as how to flood a machine with 'ping' requests is off topic for
the list. See Q2 for some related topics.

Direct C questions to news:comp.lang.c and CircleMUD questions to here.
ObCircle:
Anyone with ideas on how to get rid of the 'close_me' hack, please send
ideas my way. I'm currently trying to make a better way to do that in
addition to fixing the other lists where that happens. Currently, do_purge
has the same problem do_dc has and killing the person/mob after you in the
character list will do it too. One (ugly) way to do it would be to keep the
next descriptor variable global and the next character variable in fight.c
also. My current idea I have yet to try is make a CON_DISCONNECT state for
d->connected which would take the place of close_me more logically.
We're getting way off-topic. ;)
