In January 2026, when I put most of this site's beta build together, there was a fair bit of drama in WoW's addon community about the origins of code. Now, this site is not an addon, and it is definitely not behind a paywall, so the issues don't really apply, but me being me I decided on full transparency anyway.
The map part of the housing pages came from here. I made it: pull data from a database (which is how you guys can update it), added the ability to see a custom image, added the integration with the guestbook etc. I also manually mapped the plot positions for Razorwind Shores. However, I didn't write the actual 'map' part of it, for how it plots the positions on the map.
Alertify is used for the green and red error/success messages. The code for the forum and site discord notifications came from here and here. The basic file structure for the wordpress theme (so not the styling or the functionality) came from here.
I made extensive use of the tutorial sites W3Schools and Geeks for Geeks, and references like CSSTricks and obviously the official documentation for both PHP and Wordpress.
There will also be snippets here and there, mostly of JavaScript, that came from a myriad of StackOverflow posts. Thus donated to the community, as they were posted publicly in response to a "how do I?" post, (which is how I found it, searching "how do I?").
I would never claim anything was mine if it wasn't, and I certainly don't claim to know what I am doing. If I have forgotten a reference it's because I forgot, not because I am unwilling to give credit. As far as I know everything else was written by me, and with far more enthusiasm than skill. I am not a professional. I did go to school for a hot minute for web programming, but that was 15 years ago. The only help that old experience has been, is maybe helping me word my "how do I?" web searches better.
No AI was used at any point, not even search assist (which google is now forcing into every damn page grrr), which is why I now don't use google. (I loathe AI with the fire of a thousand suns). All mistakes and bad code are 100% mine :)
