hey man, when you have pages of people who don't like your thread, then don't argue with them, try to find out why you failed but for this thread, i'll save you the trouble of wondering and just tell you

have you ever heard the expression "dont' give advice you can't take"? i challenge yout o start fresh on a new server, do everything you just mentioned, and say with an honest opinion that it was easy. and FYI, "easy" is measured in effort in, so if it takes you more than a few hours, I wouldn't call it easy, or else rebuilding my cars engine by hand could also be called easy
