Quality of programs

To be honest. I'm disappoint
<rage>
Some programs on this site are really, really amazing but a decent pile aren't so interesting. I mean there are published programs out there that are kind of shocking- I found one 6 line program and two other 3 line programs. Both of which did nothing at all interesting. Maybe something you would find in someones testing folder (I normally keep a pile of scripts that I wrote just to work out how a function/method works) but not something that deserves to be published.

The "my programs" threads seem to be part of it too, (I'm not accusing them all, Flan's planes was part of his "My mods" thread for example) so ask yourself: does this deserve its own thread? (You don't need to put it in its own thread, just don't think that putting 15 variations of your 3 line random number generator makes it exciting).
</rage>
Sorry if I came across as rude but I would like to see some quality programs.
NB: Is there a ETA when the infinite CPU threads bug will be fixed?

You're supposed to create your own, hence the purpose of this mod.

With some programs, I do agree, but if you think that then you should make some 'better' programs and set a higher-standard. You have to remember that some of the programs people have posted on here are things they have posted because they are new to Lua and have made something which they consider 'good' and feel it is post-worthy.

So your saying your disappointed in noobs at lua who are proud of the programs they have made :/
When they get advanced then its like 100 to 800 line programs
