Mainly it's that there's a lot more out of game chatter / forums / etc. than when I first started playing.

It's not about hurt feelings for me. (Although, since piles of the Silent Tower puzzley stuff has in the past been posted specifically to try to attack me personally, taking it personally wouldn't be a completely irrational response.)
It's that redesigning / reimplementing everything that's been posted would be (and has been in the past) a huge chunk of my time that could be spent any number of other ways.
I've spent that time before, and I might again someday. Right now I'm not interested.
There becomes an appeal to the thought of doing it exactly one more time and then thereafter what gets out, gets out.
Obviously, another solution might be to try to cease to be the kind of person that people are driven to antagonize, but I've chosen not to go that route.

I think it's cool if people help each other figure out stuff IC.
I don't think it's cool when someone tries to post a walkthrough to Dio's. This kind of thing always gets taken down, but if someone's persistent enough about it the damage is done.
