        @BuZz I was late to replying here - read this on my phone - but I love coming here every day and seeing what everyone is up to. It's a vibrant community of people who, for the most part, share the same love for old games. That's certainly how I feel, and the reason I'm around is partly because I want to enjoy them again, I want to be able to enjoy them with my kids, and I want to help others enjoy them as well.

        Nobody can begin to imagine how you feel in your position, as you said it's a thankless job at times, and getting more and more people using it and coming across perhaps as "entitled" or with different expectations about what RetroPie really is, can certainly be draining and drown out the community spirit from the people who value the project, your (and by "your" I mean the team's and everybody's) contributions, and make this a great place to be.

        I feel thankful and - why not - blessed for having run into RetroPie back in August last year, after hesitating for quite a while, and having found a fantastic community here. I feel that if the project would not be around, the entire retro-gaming community would be very much worse off, and I know that my days - and the days of many in the community - would certainly be less fun.

        Keep up the great work, and a tremendous thank you to you and everyone for making this a great place to be, and a great project to be part of.

            @pjft cheers! Btw if i ever did stop developing, the project would go on without me. Florian and Herb both have full access to everything etc.

                  Ha! That was an exchange worthy of Bazooka Joe. Not only did milk come out of my nose, but I was eating cereal and I'm pretty sure I have a cornflake stuck up there now.

                          Plus I hate writing documentation!

                          Maybe you should write a documentation. And post it all in code or binary. :)

                            You got me, I was terrified it was something to do with the 'legal thing' !( hours of pressing refresh with a panicked look on my face!!

                            Don't give up, please, on this or us, there's too much love here:))

                                I'm not going to give up, but I do feel like it sometimes. It's a thankless job at times and a lot of work is involved - as well as managing the main code base(s) and building the binaries, I admin the server, website, forum and so on. It's a full time job on top of my full time job

                                What can we do to help? Aside from more money, which would help with the bills but not the work, those of us who aren't coders, what can we do to help spread out the burden of maintaining everything?

                                  @obsidianspider well, you and others already help by answering the many questions from new users. That in itself is already a massive help :-)

                                    @herb_fargus and @BuZz Documentation is god damn amazing. I agree with you so much buzz. This should be a place to get a second set of eyes on a silly mistake/new bug or better a place for innovation. It took me up until recently to realize just how important the documentation is. Looking at this forum i'm half surprised you don't have a bot posting to every thread with a reply that just says RTFM.

                                    TLDR: You actually converted one user into someone who reads and loves the documentation. Hope that counts for something!
