Shouldn't you move the Custom Graphics Driver made by Aali to the Game Tweaking section? I never really understood why it was in Tech Related.

Yep, and Kimera needs to not be in Programming Feedback. I'm debating putting [REL] and [WIP] to designate releases and works in progress. Instead, maybe it's a better idea to only have WIP and anything without the [wip] will be a release...

The [REL] and [WIP] would make it look more organized. Then maybe you could put the version number after that? Like this...

[REL][v0.7.7b]Custom Graphic Drivers

Just an idea. Totally up to you.

i think thread tags are the best bet for organization. the release and WIP are a good start, if we could get people to accept more it would be great.
[REL] Releases only, followed by version number if needed
[WIP] Works-In-Progress
[TUTORIAL] Obviously tells someone else how to do something(i saw this today and its a great idea)
[HELP] or [

] Someone has a question

this might seem kinda over the top, but it lets you find what you want at a glance, without digging through all of the threads. just a suggestion.

I think WIP and TUT or TUTORIAL should be fine. If it doesn't have WIP in front of it, it's a release. Questions are usually stated that way in their topic. "Need help with new driver" "Can't get FF7 Music to work"

But if it says "[TUT] Need help with new driver" then it's a tutorial. If everything has a beginning tag it will look pretty ridiculous I think

I think Program threads like Kimera and Makou reactor should be stickied, so they are easy to find

Or create a sub section designed for programs, and another for patches. Just an idea

obesebear · « **Reply #55 on:** 2010-06-06 17:14:09 »

Hold your horses

Really though, Halkun has already taken care of most every program that would need to be stickied by linking to it in the "ULTRASTICKY!!!"

As for separating programs from the patches and graphical mods. This may or may not be done later on.

Lol nice thread title.

So how do you like your position?

obesebear · « **Reply #57 on:** 2010-06-06 17:48:00 »

Oh it's super fun! Imagine rummaging through dozens of pointless posts trying to find the material worth keeping.

But the pay makes it worth it.

idl12 · « **Reply #58 on:** 2010-06-06 17:55:21 »

Wait, you get paid for this?

DarkFang · « **Reply #59 on:** 2010-06-06 17:58:42 »

I'm pretty sure he was joking.

obesebear · « **Reply #60 on:** 2010-06-06 17:59:25 »

Of course. Why else would I want this job? Just to have a nice forum to frequent? Haha. Come on now, something has to pay the bills.
lol

titeguy3 · « **Reply #61 on:** 2010-06-06 18:30:01 »

Wait, you guys didn't know? I've made like an undisclosed amount already. What, you thought we were contributing to the forums of our own generosity?? HA!

Mod Edit--- No discussion of how much you've made, please!

obesebear · « **Reply #62 on:** 2010-06-06 18:38:33 »

Since apparently not everyone knows, once you contribute to these forums you get a little "donation" of sorts. Usually depending on the usefulness of your program. Things like graphical mods don't get anything, but if you make a program or are staff you get a paypal donation. No one is allowed to discuss how much they've been given, but I don't think there's any harm if everyone knows contributing here is rewarded.

DarkFang · « **Reply #63 on:** 2010-06-06 18:39:41 »

Where does this "donation" come from?

idl12 · « **Reply #64 on:** 2010-06-06 18:56:06 »

Chuck Norris?

jeffdamann · « **Reply #65 on:** 2010-06-06 23:50:28 »

Lol are you guys retarted? Are you seriously trying to convince ppl that you get money for doing these mods?
ROFL... It would be a cool thing to happen though, I mean I wouldnt need the money, but Im sure it would motivate other users.

And LOL'ed at the new title.

craziinova · « **Reply #66 on:** 2010-06-07 02:52:50 »

OMG u get pade to do dis ??

nikfrozty · « **Reply #67 on:** 2010-06-07 05:45:17 »

I think he said members who only made a program that are useful get donations not mods.

I'm pretty sure he's teasing us

Thanks. Hopefully I can make you proud

Now, there's two topics for every mod and every program. Conversations are broken apart, and every thread made in the past week or so is complete chaos.

Is it safe to assume that over time this'll become less of a clusterfuck as we get used to the new organization, or just false hope?

sl1982 · « **Reply #73 on:** 2010-06-09 04:25:00 »

You better come over to Team Avalanche and enjoy the tranquility.

DLPB_ · « **Reply #74 on:** 2010-06-09 05:42:07 »

Any chance of placing the posts back into the retranslation thread? Seem to be down to the main post only? or is this intended?
