»Maverick Posted November 8, 2006 Report Posted November 8, 2006 Hi, Problem: Alot of worthwhile topics in Development forum are lost in the long list of pages with topics. You really want to keep them preserved by stickying them all but that's undoable. Proposal: Make a new forum under Development, something like an archive or like "Usefull Development topics" where we can move the topics to so it gets easier to look them up and monitor them. Just a proposal, let me know what you people think about this.
Dav Posted November 8, 2006 Report Posted November 8, 2006 I like this idea. It gets to the point where search takes too long with all the results it brings back so this would make things a whole lot easier.
»1587200 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Posted November 8, 2006 So you'd either have a search with all it's results, or a forum with all the search result threads in it? The only difference is how you view it...either way, you'll be viewing the same topics, whether it be in a search or forum.
»Maverick Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Posted November 8, 2006 You can't really compare it to a search because with a search you only search for specific keywords. The contents of the forum would only be composed of topics that has some value (attachments or important information) instead of the basic development questions. Examples would be the 3D Ship models topic, the RTF format of news.txt, etc.These topics you actually want to be pinned forever but that's not doable.
»1587200 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Posted November 8, 2006 I dunno, IMO another forum for this would be pointless and take up space. Maybe one pinned Info thread w/links to the topics might be more realistic.
»SOS Posted November 8, 2006 Report Posted November 8, 2006 The valuable stuff should go on the new SSCentral website, not the forums. For now, I think pinning stuff is fine.
»Maverick Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Posted November 8, 2006 That's a good idea, Syrus, maybe I will just do that instead. Agreed SOS but I think it's important to reflect the information here (where people are looking for it now).
»D1st0rt Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 I've got a (in my opinion) better idea. One stickied thread up at the top with a brief blurb and links to relevant threads, kinda like the Development Tools thread.
»Maverick Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Posted November 9, 2006 Maybe one pinned Info thread w/links to the topics might be more realistic. One stickied thread up at the top with a brief blurb and links to relevant threadsI don't see the difference, d1st0rt
Smong Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 I'd go with the one thread with links idea. If you start moving threads to another forum things start to get confusing.
»D1st0rt Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 I was short on time and only read the first post
»Maverick Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Posted November 9, 2006 Doesn't matter, d1st0rt Yea I'm going to do that instead of the forum, Smong
Smong Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 Here's "SubSpace .PNG" the ss shield remake topic, please put it in your mega thread when you make it.http://forums.sscentral.com/index.php?showtopic=11205
