well, personally (not joking here) i think a special area other than completely unrelated where we can, pardon my language, be as big a jackass and joke around about as stupid stuff as we want
Not gonna happen.
- split game tweaking into graphics mod and technical mods
- add a release forum were finished patches could be added (that's pyrozen's idea but an awesome one nonetheless)
The release forum is a good idea, but that's what we have the wiki for. Granted it needs to be better updated with a lot of things, but I don't yet have access to do something like that. Also, read a little lower, I might have a similar solution.
Why the need to split the graphics from the technical?
New topics about things that have been answered should be deleted on sight.
I agree wholeheartedly with this, and will apply it to anyone with more than 5 posts.
...we could get rid of 'programming feedback' and a lot of good stuff is scattered all over the place.
And maybe a FAQ area could be beneficial.
I think instead what needs to start happening is:
•When any program is a WIP or Release, it needs to be posted in
Game Tweaking, then kept clean of pointless posts so that the author can easily keep it updated with any progress made. This will also make it easier to find the latest releases and know what the changes are.
•All problems concerning said program, or mod, will be addressed in
Programming Feedback.
•
Tech Support will be used for general problems getting the game running.
•
Tech Related will be used for discussion of file formats.. AI.. all that cool guy talk that I don't understand 8)
•
General is still for anything Final Fantasy related. Just remember you still need to stay on topic.
•
FAQ forum already exists, but it does need some cleaning up...
•And of course
Completely Unrelated... which is insanely popular lately. Just keep it PG. Necroing topics here is fine.
Would you like to tell us what powers you have now? ;D
Why, so you can exploit my weaknesses!? I think not!
It might be nice to have a "Forum Rules" tab up at the top (along with Home, Help, Search, etc).
Have each rule with an HTML anchor. That way, if someone posts something breaking a rule, while you're not around, no one has to actually say anything when they respond. They could just post a link to the rule being broken.
Instead, How about I compile all the rules scattered about into 1 post in the FAQ forum.
In the other thread I mentioned moving stuff around. I think it would still be a good thing to get everything sorted. Out with old in with new as I say.
It's a huge forum. As such this is a large WIP.
not sure if you have the power, but can signatures be reactivated? Maybe keep them locked until a user has over 400 posts or something to cut down on excessive graphical signatures.
I don't have the power to do that, but even if I did I wouldn't. Unless someone made a really strong argument for a reason they are necessary.

though i myself recently got a lil on your bad side, again i apologize about that
I wonder if its possible to have longer signatures..
