Well in fact absolutely none of the above
So, even though I think I did write this somewhere here already, I don't mind, with a few months time to think about it, to rephrase it again
I asked for my threads on xda to be closed myself, it was my very own decision.
What I really didn't have :
- burnout, I do kernel'ing (that's how I call it) as a past-time, to relax, so no burnout risk (or almost none) involved
- issues with n00b questions, none at all, I (try to) reply to everyone as long as the language stays adequate when questions are asked
What made me ask to close my threads, or why I "left" xda :
- one egocentric, though very talented, fellow dev and jerk trolling in my threads (that was the starting point, but not the reason)
- mod's getting onto me for defending myself after I got attacked in my thread for reasons I still don't quite get and in the meantime really don't need to understand at all anymore (that made me go, if that's the way they moderate, I leave)
In essence, this didn't make me stop developing (I would stop if I get bored, and that is not anytime soon). I'd stop sharing if I get bugged too much (so far here happend 0 times, that I like ! Thanx to everyone for this !), or if noone is using my kernel anymore.
I moved my threads to a forum where moderation will work objectively (I really try to stay objective), anyone trolls, I kick him out, uses bad laguage, I let him know, he continues, I kick him out, those are the very few rules.
Someone reports problems, I will do my best to help him, no risk of getting me angry, absolutely [url]no risk there[/url].
The only way to make me angry is bad language, trolling and sheer stupidity (insulting people), because I consider that not to be necessary and a complete waste of my energy.
And remember, this is supposed to be fun to me, that's what I do to relax
So I now pay (a little money) for a forum to be hosted where my threads stay in a nice and constructive environment. I don't have a donate Link as I don't do this for donations, not at all, I do it for myself as I need a kernel for my phone, and I don't mind sharing it if anyone wants to use it. And I always welcome inputs for future modifications
No promise I'll implement anything, though, if it makes sense to me (and I want it for myself) I'll obviously implement it
Otherwise, if it's not too much fuss and it doesn't break the stability, I'll most likely implement it as well, I will consider it at least.
If I haven't answered everything, don't hesitate, just ask
There's no way to be off-topic in the off-topic thread
