When it comes to code I work on, as a creative thing, it's more like a collage/composition sort of deal.
MyBB is credited to MyBB Group.
Ten (the original base theme on the new site) is credited to Mandeep Singh Dillon.
The new admin control panel is credited to the designer of the MyBB ACP theme ProjectX, Shade @ iDeviceLAB.
The (beta!) webchat is based on the AJAX Chat by Blueimp and maintained by Frug.
By your powers combined, I am FEPlanet.
Before, we had one large, monolithic bit of code which was IPB; it was not shareable source, and cost money to (legally) update.
Then we wrote lots of things, like the front page, and FETO, largely on IPB, and highly dependent on it.
I'm not saying they were bad at all - they followed decent code principles for the most part, and it's amazing that such a large thing was 100% written from scratch, but they were written to require IPB.
It was like trying to build a house of cards on a wagon.
Overall, feplanet's software workings are shifting towards assemblages of open-source third-party code, roped in and managed by hand, and rewritten where needed.
(As always, because it's open source, it's available on request.)
I consider code as art, in many ways.
Maybe I'll make something Fire Emblem-related* someday.
