I assumed you wanted to share your calculator with people, so I took my time to rewrite it for the web, and explained you could update it by A) extending the version I made, or B) changing your "v2" to return instead of log.

Instead, you opted for C) no one can conveniently see/use your calculator on the wiki. To me, it looked like, instead of caring about damage calculation and the wiki, you cared more about being offended that I tried to let others see the calculator you built ... but you have your memory and I have mine /shrug
This post is a good example of what I am talking about, Loramin.

You made multiple assumptions without evidence:

1. You assumed I built the DPS calculator as a web app. I didn't say that anywhere in the thread. I only used Javaacript because it doesn't need to be compiled, and can be run for free in a browser.

2. I said I didn't have time to modify the code to work for the wiki in our PM's. I don't know where you got the idea that I didn't want my calculator on the wiki. I just didn't want a broken calculator on the wiki.

I probably won't be making significant changes to it anymore. I don't really have time in the next few months at least, and I think it accomplishes everything I set out to do. I was thinking about adding hate calculations, but I'd need to research the current state of P99's changes to how proc hate works in 2025. My brain probably still has some outdated info, and I don't have time to do the research.

So I'd say there are three options:
1. Get 2.0 working and just leave it, except for bug fixes. I can do some testing for you.
2. Just remove the calculator, and we can just link to the form post.
3. Temporarily make me an admin so I can do the coding myself.

It just depends on your time as to which one you want to do. Thanks for taking the time either way, I wasn't expecting you to put in the work to put it on the wiki. That was a pleasant suprise!
To paraphrase your response to my message, you said you would see if you had time to do option 1, otherwise we'd do option 2. I did option 2 after a month of no changes on your end.

3. Why would you think I didn't want other people to see my calculator, when I made a thread sharing the source code, with instructions on how to run it?

I am not trying to be mean. It just honestly confuses me how you make all of the assumptions.
