Dedicated subforum: releases

[Caydr]

It seems to me that the "user map discussion" and "mods" forums have too vague a purpose.

Modders and mappers use them to post their latest releases, while others use them to ask questions or discuss general "how to mod" stuff or "what's a heightmap lol" stuff.

I suggest that we make a dedicated Mod Release forum and Map Release forum, just for announcing community-ready versions. Beta testing and general discussion can go in the "mods" and "user map discussion" forums, as always.

Only RELEASE topics would be allowed, although discussion about a release can go in that release's thread.

They should be alphabetically listed as well, for easy searching. Ideally we could have a way for topic posters to remove their old topics while not having mod power over others' topics, but I don't know if PHPBB supports that.

I could see this, and I would be willing to maintain the separation, but you'll need approval from more important people.

Is this not in a sense the same as community news?

Maybe you can think of a way to merge your idea with this?

We currently have significantly more than one page of forum sections already. If our forum supported subforums I'd gladly make some separations within forum groups, but I don't want to add a tonne more forum sections when the extra organization is more of a visual distraction on the forum main page than it is a useful organizational split.

No.

I agree with Caydr here. It would be very nice to have.

phpbb3?

I'm pretty sure it supports sub forums.
