The thing that bugs me about this is that his request isn't even that ridiculous. The fact that there are other games similar to Faldon that do package their server software for redistribution makes the guy's request have some degree of legitimacy. In fact, as a 15 year old with virtually no technical know-how, I remember running a private shard for Ultima Online (the game that was probably the biggest influence on what Faldon is today) on a Windows 98 machine.
But maybe you didn't know that private server software was a thing that existed in other similar RPGs, Angeldust. In fact I'd go so far as to say: 'your post significantly demonstrates your lack of technical and mental capabilities in regards to the logical course of actions required to create, maintain and provide your own server;'. Have fun being ignorant AND a hypocrite.
Mumbnutts,
It would be discrimination against the youth if I only tore apart unintelligent forum posts belonging to adults. I am not against teenagers, nor do I expect that their intelligence is diminished in anyway because of their young age. In fact, the youth born in our categorical Generation Y and Generation Z population (the age of the "Net Generation") have significantly higher technological expectations; children born and raised with technology have far superior technical skills than their previous generation parents.
That aside, lets discuss logically your response in comparison to the original post.
Your comment: The fact that the guy is ignorant of the effort that goes in to running a server doesn't speak to his intelligence. Mumblenutts, my response was directed at the request for assistance in creating his own server. Read his original post, you'll understand his ignorance. His comment: I just wondered how i can make my own faldon server.
This is further compounded in my favour by his following statement as an alternative solution: Is it hard to make one or can Zer send me some files from the real server but a copy of it?
Result: Your partial idiocy highlights incompetency in literal understanding of the original question.
Your comment: The thing that bugs me about this is that his request isn't even that ridiculous. The fact that there are other games similar to Faldon that do package their server software for redistribution makes the guy's request have some degree of legitimacy. Mumblenutts, as your obviously aware, Faldon does not package server side components with its download. Similarity is often a fallacy and most definitely an invalid argument. This person also did not inquire on how to use pre packaged software to create a server; his request was to make a server or have someone make it for them. This comment is in relation to my previous statement. "I hope any1 will help me to make my own server and do it for me".
Result: Your argument is invalid, its basis was on factitious comments.

Have fun being ignorant AND a hypocrite. Again, this discussion was not based around the idea of private server software. The presumed teenager requested assistance in creating a server from scratch, or having the server software handed to him (not the actual server, but a copy of the files) as an alternative. I harassed him on the manner of asking, and displayed idiocy in assuming he can create his own server from scratch without the basis of knowledge and/or the assumption someone out there may do it for him.
Result: You failed to understand the original request.
Your comment: Angeldust, by all means carry on; otherwise, how about you find something better to do than being a dick to children on message boards? Mumblenutts, you criticize me for making logical assumptions and/or being a hypocrite yet you presume this poster is a child. You have no concrete basis for this assumption. Regardless of his age, I do not discriminate in who I harass. That would be rude.
Result: Dumbass.
In conclusion, the moron asked for help in creating his own server software from scratch without any technological understanding and/or research into this idea. An intelligent person would research prior to making a incredulous request. Critical thinking, a particulate mindset is indicative of a higher intelligence; as is the ability to properly research for a general understanding in any area of demonstrated interest. This poster showed little intelligence and in fact, quite oppositely showed below average thought processing. The 'child', as you assumed showed significant ignorance in his post, asking for 'someone' to help him make his own server, do it for him, or have Zer hand him a 'copy of' the server files.
Please, carry on as if you were normal.
Thanks,
Angeldust,
