Quite obviously everyone involved with the forums (to some extent), can be considered a "thief" or something to that extent (seeing as how none of us, to public knowledge, are the original developers of the files that a majority of us use). However, recently, over a decent span of time, I have seen quite a bit of file sharing between here and kdev. I think it's silly to fight over files of course, but those that have obtained/developed updated files reserve the right exclusively to keep them to themselves, or give them out as they see fit. I am in fact, appreciative that someone even decided to or wanted to release any of them, and I can't say whether or not I would have wanted to if I were in their shoes and had put as much effort into as they had.
Sure, it might be nice if everything was released, not many can say that they wouldn't enjoy it. I however think that that defeats the purpose for these forums to even exist, as they were brought to be for the purpose of learning and expanding on what has been provided. NOT for the purpose of being a form of "file hosting", if you will.
Again, cheers to everyone that has provided knowledge to others, and support, of which both I have benefited from, and I try to share what knowledge I can in return. Which at the moment I can't say is a lot as far as development is concerned, but what I do learn, I share and discuss with those that wish to know.
I myself have withdrawn from releasing a server atm (possibly all together, I may just turn to mod work), due to the fact that I would like to learn more about coding, and try to be somewhat self reliant in the end so that I can feel more self accomplished about my goals, and possibly be able to expand into developing new games or creating private servers of other games that i enjoy as well :) As well as the fact that I don't have a server comp atm that would be suitable for hosting, don't know yet, I'll see about it in the future. Most of my work is experimental and I do it in my free time. ^^
Anyway, getting off track here now, so I'll conclude in saying thanks, and giving an exclusive thanks to bakey,csharp,kreain, and also a general thanks to all of those which have or will help me in the future. :) Cheers

As far as the dll, I'm sure something could be constructed/reconstructed, I however don't have the knowledge to do so, but if I did I would love to help. After I have actually sat down and taken time to learn more coding I might entertain the idea, or at least explore, for now, I don't have the time to do so ^^
