AddOn Makers Section? Options

[D@V£]

Can I ask, what's the point of this, really?

And, more importantly, what's the point of restricting access to a select group of 14 individuals?

Even more importantly than that, can I ask what's the point of restricted this to a group of 14 individuals, of whom only 10 actually frequently post? (as in, more than 30 posts)

And, even more importantly, how come, one of the 4 that do frequently post, 1 has never released an addon for ArmA at all?



So, yeah. Who chooses these Addon Makers? Because, in my experience at least half the members of the forum have toyed with addon making, and I'm sure more than 14 members have actually performed any serious addon creation (from a quick look at the released addons section, I see wipman, bdfy, Frostman, EMSI, MODUL, AtStWalker, Yac and Linker_Split, 8 members who seem obvious choices and have quite clearly overlooked in favour of members, some of whom have never even posted)

What is seriously expected to be achieved by segregating these "AddOn Makers" from the rest of the community? Whenever people have trouble making addons they ask in the WIP section what the problem is, and it's not like all these guys could just post in there. So what's the point?
