OMG NO SCREENIES DIE
This is the worst argument ever. First off, it's screenshots, not screenies. But more importantly, some people may be asking for input. If someone were to make an eccentric hack and post screenshots of the hack, people might judge the hack on the quirks alone ("that's a stupid idea"). Sure, most people are pretty nice, but that doesn't change the fact that many n00bs are afraid of criticism. Sure, screenshots are a good hook, but I pity anyone who needs an image to orgasm over a hack. Sometimes, the best of the best might post hack info without screenshots, usually if they want to tease their audience. And do people complain about that? Noooooooooooo...granted, there is a level of respect involved, but that's judging people by their postcount or their join date. They're just fucking numbers. I remember there was this one SMW hacker who came out of nowhere. He was new, and he has respect. Are the simple-minded not similar? Is it wrong to complain about a hack not having screenshots? In summary, when a n00b posts hack info with no screenshots, it's either a placeholder (tolerate it) or a topic to gather opinions before they start.

Hmm, let's see... Could it be that I've already helped x people this week? That I'm extremely busy? That I'd like to get some of my own things done? That I'm not responsible to help every single person with every little problem that they could possibly have?

Honestly, HH. Just because you learned in an environment where no one helped you is no reason to go running around assuming that anyone who doesn't always give you what you want is automatically selfish/hoarding/whatever. Quite frankly, I find the insinuation rather rude, and I'm asking you politely to stop.

Not that my source is all that much better mind you, as the routine is partially based on one in the original game and I wasn't looking to document how it works. Yet when the subject comes up now and then in the forum, I've come close to digging it up and releasing it.

Needless to say, I don't exactly feel like doing that now.

Jonwil would simply post the code for his Map16-changing routines instead of insisting we trace through several thousand bytes of raw hex that jumps around everywhere.

Well then, you may as well blame the right person. I believe that's the routine he decompiled and used (with my permission) from the original Demo World. I imagine he doesn't bother to release what he has, because there's not much for useful comments in it.

There's more than enough room in the scene for everyone, whether you release source/utilities/help newbies/whatever or not. And if that ever stops being the case, people like me will simply leave.

Sayonara, credibility! We don't look down on newbies, but on idiots. Unfortunately, a good deal of new people tend to be idiots. Helping them is of course the best way, but keep in mind that people can only put up with so much.
