Sindwiller Posted September 29, 2008 Report Posted September 29, 2008 This thread should be moved to 3D/Levels... other than that... I kind of liked it how it was :S Whatever
Thrik Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Posted September 29, 2008 Done, although those threads really do need updating or remaking — they're full of dead links.

D3ads Posted September 29, 2008 Report Posted September 29, 2008 I think it's a great idea, it's more managable that way, I always thought there were too many forums, it looked so cramped!
Sindwiller Posted September 29, 2008 Report Posted September 29, 2008 Btw, my penis size (aka post count) just exploded. I think you've forgotten to leave out EOT from the post counting ^^

Thrik Posted September 30, 2008 Author Report Posted September 30, 2008 I didn't forget — that was phpBB being its classic flaky self. I had to recalculate the forum information after shuffling stuff around, and in the process phpBB helpfully added all the posts in EoT to users' post counts. It seems the 'don't increment post count' setting only kicks in at the point of being posted. I'll look into if there's a way this can be undone, but this is a bit of terrible coding I might not be able to work around automatically.

Sentura Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 i dunno im not feeling the vibe here sorry. i used to do some selective browsing, picking only forums that had a bit of my interest. now that it's all clumped together it just seems like i am omitting the 'creative' forums altogether.
Zacker Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 I love it! The many forums were pretty much _the_ reason for me not viewing them all too often. So thanks Thrik, seems very well-structured now:) This title: Work Release & Spotlight Nomination could easily have the spotlight part omitted though. Just calling it "Releases" would be fine imo:)
skdr Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 I think special subforums (spotlight etc.) should be above the creative gallery forums.
Thrik Posted September 30, 2008 Author Report Posted September 30, 2008 I think special subforums (spotlight etc.) should be above the creative gallery forums. I agree, and that is to be the case once the spotlight stuff is all implemented. I also see your point Zacker about the title of the release forum's length. For now I've shortened it because the spotlight stuff isn't in place yet (I'm hoping to get that done within the next week or so). I'm sorry you feel that way Sentura, but all evidence I've seen thus far (including MapCore's very detailed statistics) shows that the vast majority of people visited most of the development forums very rarely, if at all; instead, people gravitated towards the three WIP forums and the rest were almost completely ignored (we're talking 0.5–2% of MapCore's overall visits in a given month). If activity ever does rise to the point where sub-topics can be justified then that's certainly something I'll look into.
skdr Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 Good! I'd like to see the spotlight stuff implemented this way. Of course, this will only work well with fixed forum width.
