Codehire is getting shutdown soon, and I may be getting a darkrp server. So where else could I get DARKRP content?? I checked the workshop, couldnt find much :(
Make your own, or use free addons. There are plenty out there if you look hard enough; Workshop is not the only place. There's Youtube videos on how to create stuff, and plenty of releases on this forum.
I dont know lua :/ I suck at coding

You don't need some stupid shit to make the server nice. Sometimes I just want Wiremod, Wiremod UNOFFICIAL, and a basic array of building tools in my RP experience.

How much would it cost to hire a coder
[QUOTE=Kman43759;45894811]How much would it cost to hire a coder[/QUOTE] Most on this site usually dont mind helping you with your own code for free. Just as long as you arent asking them how to do EVERYTHING.
Now that coderhire is gone we as server owners are now independent. Do what code_gs says and make your own addons. Facepunch is helpful just don't mind when they are irritated. You'd be the same way if you were dealing with the same thing everyday. Or you could just spend more money on the upcoming CoderHire knockoffs. Or hit up the Hire a Coder MegaThread in Dev Discussion.
I cant code worth shit all I know is basic basic python (Variables, strings, basic arithmetic, strupper() and lower, some other stuff I forgot) my problem is I want to code... But im lazy and I dont practice
Well that is going to be a problem if you want to be a good server owner.

When I saw this thread title I started laughing, and when I read the thread, I was like, oh god, this guy's serious. Anyways.. learn Lua, it's worth it in the long run!
Learn lua or [U]forget it[/U]
If you are not capable of coding for your own server, you should close it down. Honestly, it's not fair that servers that actually have their own coders who put time and effort into their work get fucked hard because people ran servers filled to the brim with CoderHire crap.
We whine about selling scripts because it has effectively stopped people from releasing scripts, and instead they release them for $10 on CoderHire or some other site, and the community starts to become rather drama potent.

Fuck does your school at least have a programming class or computer science class? I can about guarantee they won't teach lua but if you learn one language you'll learn lua much quicker & easier.
I dont understand why people say "IF YOU DONT CODE YOUR OWN CONTENT YOU SUCK!" I dont understand why you guys think it is bad to download a GOOD pre-coded addon! I agree that servers that use overused addons suck, but please explain, why is it so bad to not have custom content???
@Kman43759 "why is it so bad to not have custom content???" Probably because using the same shitty HUD and Derma for so long becomes stale and overused. Variety is the spice of life.

Click+drag CoderHire addons simply made the DarkRP section of the server list a clone of "CUSTOM SERVER PLZ JOIN M9K $99999 START".

It was more the fact you said you want to code, but don't because you're 'lazy and don't practice'.
Well this is JUST my OPINION. But I feel like if somebody doesnt know how to code, and downloads GOOD, original, pre-coded addons, they could still have a good server
Yeah theres a possibility, but for the most part people just slap good looking addons together and make a cornucopia of "modern" addons. You dont HAVE to know how to code to create a good server, despite the belief here, but it helps a lot to make custom content.
Hiring coders vary by the complexity of the job. Look [url=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1422055]here[/url] to find one easily and get in contact to hire them.
[QUOTE=Kman43759;45902841]Well this is JUST my OPINION. But I feel like if somebody doesnt know how to code, and downloads GOOD, original, pre-coded addons, they could still have a good server[/QUOTE] Welcome to the internet, where your opinion has no meaning! Also even if the addon you download is original and good it is most likely on all the other servers seeing as you probably aren't gonna be the only one to download it.
You can make a good custom server without the need to know how to code, you just need to know a few guys and have deep pockets.
Or just know what addons you should put in, what setup it should be, and decent management because hell, we are totally fine with that too. You don't need to be flashy with some stupid HUD or something.
Summing up what you are aiming for, how you express yourself, the words you choose, how you say "i suck at coding im lazy plz help"-stuff makes me want to motivate everyone to either grab a bag of popcorn and watch you failing rockhard or just turn away and care about the more important aspects of life. Nothing against you, but to me, you totally seem like an average teen server owner who just wants a fancy "custom" server without much effort or work from your side. Sorry but that reminds me of those kids bragging with their tech stuff nowadays when actually their parents bought all of that.

I dont have a server. But when I do I will devote alot of effort to it
