Don't misunderstand, I don't really care if the code was stolen or not, the name is also not the issue.

All I'm saying is this forum keeps remaking the same projects with little or no difference to the initial project. How many installers were created from the WPI or Metro design idea I came up with 7 years ago, probably 60% or more of the installers created follow the design of Metro. It's now like game companies offering 3-5 game editions of the same game that have little or not benefit compared to the standard edition, then 5 years later someone comes with the idea of fusing all the ideas from the other projects then releases as "GOTY edition", very nice, this is what I was talking about. IGN 10/10

fileforums 10 years later, someone comes up with the idea of making a "remastered edition" where basically all old projects are now recompiled using a newer compiler because the compiler uses *newer* code.

But then again, this is just my opinion but then if everyone in the forum is fine with this, if it ain't broke don't fix it

not to mention compression applications, only I will have created 5/6 versions between packing and unpacking. and even today the same compression programs emerge where only the design or the language used to create them changes. but maybe that's okay too, thanks to these guys the forum stays alive for newbies.
The real problem is that in the field of compression today there is nothing really new, except for some updates on the already known compression algorithms, in terms of micro/gain on speed and compression thresholds.
my idea again aimed at the development of FA 'Next, but now abandoned for years and dead to itself, and the old FA has exhausted all its compression miracles.
