a vote on podbot2.6 getting its own forum

[SoUlFaThEr]

I am officially requesting that the podbot2.6mm gets its own forum. its presently a discussion in the metamod thing......cuz its a metamod thing :D

but......those threads about it are just too damn long and no one can sort stuff out.

i had started a new thread to maintain coding aspects......and its become a bug discussion...that should be part of another thread.

so /me asks if this can have a forum with 3 subforums
coding discussions
bug discussion
latest DLL's(or Downloads)

in the downloads forum are the latest dll's ONLY.....with their list of fixes...this way at least this can be kept track of.......one thred per fixed dll.

what say thee???

[Terran]

That's like what I had in mind as I suggested a forum for podbot...

[@$3.1415rin]

I also think that a forum for all podbot derivates would be nice. but then we should maybe also remind the ppl to take their general C/C++ problems to the appropriate forums, so that this stuff isnt drowning in some of those bot specific threads, the ones which have the most views and pages here until now :)

[SoUlFaThEr]

after discussions with a few peeps involved with this project, i see it happening like this if possible:

main podbot2.6 mm forum

4 subforums:
CODING, BUG REPORTS, DOWNLOADS, and GENERAL QUESTIONS(about usage)

[Huntkillaz]

i agree....to the one with 4 but maybe add an idea's one where u can stick ur idea's if it good and if somoene has a way to code they can just start it.

CODING, BUG REPORTS, DOWNLOADS

general will be every thing else thats not above?

[botmeister]

I already suggested this, so I agree too :) the new POD bot plugin should have it's own forum.

[rob]

/me also agrees

[SoUlFaThEr]

who makes things like this happen?? who can place forums?

for whomever that may be:

here is the final draft for that forum:

main forum:
PODbot2.6mm
subforums:
1. Coding
2. Bug Reports
3. Download Versions
4. New ideas
5. How to...(FAQ)

i would like to have moderator options here as well. because i will keep it clean......so everyone knows what tf is up where. plus the coders should be mods cuz they are needing to add to lists(see below). but id like to take some of that off thier hands. its my offer.

this is how it should work:(please with sugar on top)
1.coding
only discussion concerning coding go here...This forum gets one sticky thread that the coders will pay attention to while fixing or adding functions. It contains a LIST that only a moderator can edit it or add to it......of the pending fixes/additions to be made or fixed.....he who fixes and is tested as FIXED...erases the part he fixed in the master list. the list is the most important feature to keep us on track of stuff. I will personally do my best to see that the ideas and bug thread topics are written, in short, in this list thread. All organized :D
2. bug reports
each single bug gets a thread. people should look if thier bug is already mentioned...hopefully people are thinking when they post the title. if not i will change it
3. download versions
this thread is only for moderators/coders!!! they will post thing that look like this in separate threads:
thread1 = pod2.6mm 04/04/04
thread2 = pod2.6mm 24/04/04
thread3 = pod2.6mm 06/05/04
so far we have agreed on a librarian who volunteered to collect different fixes from different helpers(splorygon,austin,musicman,whoeverelse)...t hats PMB...so this is his thread.
4. ideas
one idea per thread. same as bugs.....the TITLE counts
5. how to...(FAQ)
this covers install questions, cvars, other commands and whatever else.....you can spam this one up i dont care.....just keep the others clean. I will try, with help hopefully, to get a FAQ going about how to addbots on listen or DS and PIN it......and other install questions that people arent just not understanding.

i hope that makes sense to you guys :)

[Huntkillaz]

u forgot to add in general,

[Nova]

u forgot to add in general,
Nahm no general forum, coz 'General' is to vague = offtopic = SPAM-O-RAMA :)

But you got my vote.

[SoUlFaThEr]

exactly...no general...thats for how to.....spam it up

[Onno Kreuzinger]

i'm with this too

[>BKA< T Wrecks]

Well, I already expressed my opinion in the PB 2.6mm thread (in one of the threads, that is). Especially now, with the changed situation, a forum will come in handy.
As long as PMB was the only coder, the thread was ok. But now there are more people involved, and their work must be organised and coordinated well, otherwise we'll end up in total chaos. Besides, I have the impression that the bot is getting more popular, and that also means more feedback/criticism/ideas etc.
Well, nuff said... I'm already looking forward to the new forum! ;)

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

Aspirin + botmeister + Nova = majority in the council.

Vote validated.

You won guys. I'll make that forum 9_9

[SoUlFaThEr]

thanks PM....we are missing one subforum tho.....

the HOW to or FAQ forum for basic questions about installing and commands etc.....this is important for keep clutter out of the other 3

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

okie dokie

[SoUlFaThEr]

Squeeeze :)
