GG wp. config wiped my settings again. Kinda tired of setting everything up again. 

As a server owner, I always assume that the bare minimum precautions of backing things up was taken. If you didn't back things up, I'd consider reworking your update workflow.

Assuming you're are incorrecting switching datafile with config. The configuration had a setting added, a few removed but it wouldn't have been deleted. If you mean the datafile, then I suggest again, before updating, also reading the patch notes which stated datafiles are no longer used. There's also a converted linked in a stickied thread if you don't want to bother with resetting stack sizes.

I strongly urge you read things carefully before updating, this is an extremely normal part of running a server, all I can do is write the notices, the user has to read and comprehend them.

The last stack size owner went from config to data for a reason. Why are you going back to config? because of GitHub? why change things if it works without issues? that others are complaining 24/7 is high likely because they screw things up on their end. we never ever had any stack issues, dupe issues nothing. I was running like 4 versions behind and had no issues at all.

Anyways, it's resolved due to our daily backup system. I know how my "workflow" is. Rather the big question is if people know nowadays how to properly run a rust server if there are problems.

I was the creator and original maintainer of this plugin on the old Oxide website. It started off and remained a datafile for years. I can't say why @CanopySheep switched to a configuration, then back to datafile. If you know, please let me know, perhaps I'm missing something.

However, as a more experienced programmer now than I was 5+ years ago, I honestly don't know why I ever used a datafile in the first place, it's actually mis-using what datafiles appear to be intended for, and anything related to configuration should be in configuration, not a datafile. This was how Oxide was designed, and specifically why people often had issues with changing stack sizes being overwritten because when a plugin reloads it saves it's in-memory datafile to the datafile which overwrites any modifications if the plugin is loaded during editing. This is a side effect to me doing it wrong lol.

GitHub has nothing to do with the configuration, it's simply in the configuration because that's where it's supposed to be, that's where Oxide supports it best, and ultimately reduces confusion, and considering most server owners don't take things very seriously, it'll be a bit less of a headache for me too.

I have always hated the statement "if it works, why change it", if that limited mindset was applied to everything, then nothing can grow and improve. And you will find that I am ALWAYS identifying and implementing ways to improve anything I create. 

"we never ever had any stack issues, dupe issues nothing. I was running like 4 versions behind and had no issues at all."
Then you simply weren't aware of those issues, they were very much so present, and repeatedly duplicated by me and other users.

These just things that come with running a modded server.

sheep? oboii. Then the code ended up on a paid platform.

If people are dumb enough to pay money for a plugin so simple that's on them. Not that I doubt that one bit, considering the average intelligence of a server owner, they're all practically boomers so they'll fall for it.
