Ok, after having discussed how the forum should be structured I just wanted to put up a poll, to decide if we should go with the "many sub-forums"-approach or select the simpler approach with only three sub-forums.

1) The first option is this structure:
Developers
* Game-play
- Functionality in the game, specification of factions, etc.
* Models
- Creatures, rooms, traps, dungeon geometry, etc.
* Sound & Music
- Sound effects, sound system techniques, music composition, etc.
* Mapping
- Multi-player maps, and single-player campaign, level-scripting, etc.
* Administration
- Wiki, forum, project page, and public relations, etc.
* Miscellaneous
- Things that does not fit in the above.
Players
* Installation and upgrading
- Questions and troubleshooting with installation and upgrading.
* Miscellaneous
- Things that does not fit in the above.

The text after the "-" is the description of the forum. If there is enough threads about a specific subject in the Miscellaneous sub-forum these will be candidates to be moved into a new sub-forum for that subject.

2) The second option is a simpler structure:
* General discussion & help
- Troubleshooting, installation and upgrade help, etc.
* Art, media & other contributions
- Models, maps, sounds, music, etc.
* Development & planning
- Wiki, forum, project page, git, public relations, etc.

So which option should we choose? You can always change your mind, by changing your vote, this is real democracy

umm.. bump

I think the votes are rather unanimous.

Bodsda

Heh year, and one changed his mind as there where one for the simple system before

o_O wow 5:0 impressive

I think that all core menbers of the OD-community has now voted (there is 8 votes which corresponds with the number of users that post often in here?), so maybe we should make the changes then?

The vote is anonymous, so we can't really know who voted.

Hehe, I could change my mind and it would be 4:4

Well, I guess we'll have a discussion/poll on whether or not the multi-forum structure stays. I'll get on to creating it.

/me facepalms

So it is now 50:50.


Uh.. and now?


PS: Well, I suggest testing the multi-forum structure for at least a week, maybe two. Then re-discuss?

I think it's overkill atm, but opinions, opinions, let's see how it works out.

At least it is not as bad as ufo2k's forum.

this shouldn't be an announcement any more, should it?

Nope

Could we unsticky this thread? It is still at the top of our forum.

Bumping , can we unsticky this?

Done
