Was there a reason it was discontinued? I never heard why Kalaron dropped it so suddenly.
Isn't the reason in the first post itself?

Isn't rewriting SRB2 from the ground up the only way to see something more advenced than what SRB2's Doom-based engine can do?(For anyone still interested: the only real way to go from here is a complete rewrite of SRB2 from the ground up so that it can be much easier to mod.
....but I'm not going to anymore, because I would want to see a result way more advanced than SRB2's Doom Engine can do.)
Yes, but it would result in a brand new game that's not SRB2 anymore.
Yes. But he won't do that, because he wouldn't be satisfied with rewriting the game and not advancing it.Or does the first sentence of the quote in my previous post mean that he wanted to rewrite SRB2 so that it works the same but has cleaner code?
Due to people still using SRB2CB
...When did THIS happen? No offense (as this is a very well done mod), but I coulda sworn most of us stopped caring about it ages ago. That's just the way the SRB2 Community is. I mean, look at SRB2 Riders. It got a ton of kart maps and then, almost nothing else. I have yet to see a single SRB2CB wad in releases. The only wads done were a few test maps, and projects made by pre-teens that went nowhere.
After looking at that lame map, I think I see the problem. Of course those are going to seem like silly developer toys when you use them like that! I could make anything seem like a developer toy if I experimented with it in that fashion.So when Kalaron asked for test maps, we made a lot of them, but then, it dawned on me. These new extras just feel like developer toys. Something mappers can just fiddle about with and have fun making awful maps with them, like mine: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7986587/downhilljam.wad.
So what you're saying is that most of the community is... stupid? And doesn't appreciate creativity? I haven't found that to be the case. Like I said, the OLDC does draw away a lot of attention, but I don't think that means people don't care. Distracted perhaps. The way to get around that is to release things at the right time, a period of low interest in the OLDC.Most of the community doesn't care for these things anyway; it'll just keep going the route it is, not caring for EXE mods or... anything out of the OLDC, and just stick with vanilla games on vanilla maps on the vanilla EXE.
Kalaron said:Just because you don't see CB used in this community doesn't mean that it doesn't get used, have you considered that maybe other people outside this community use it? Maybe there's good mappers out there that AREN'T members here? Maybe I KNOW people who are interested in this kind of stuff?
Seriously, what's my motive?

Just wondering, why the hell you want it cancelled?
I also understand the mod will die at a certain point, nobody will care about it, but...
was that all necessary?
