Well, the problem is that there IS some stuff that doesn't belong in any of the sub-forums. Take the threads about the documentation, about the "ultimate PODBot menu", funny demos or mirror download sites...
However, it might be a nice idea to open a new sub-forum for such posts and leave the main forum locked. This way, the main forum could be used for...
- official releases
- tutorials and how-to's (Onno would argue that this is something for our Wiki, however)
- offical statements and announcements
- RULES !!
Only moddies and admins would be able to post in the main forums. So if users are forced to post in one of the sub-forums anyway, the chance that they choose the correct one might be higher than if they can post right here on the main forum and don't have to go "deeper" in order to post.
If there's some interest in this suggestion, I will be glad to post a separate thread (maybe a poll) here (i.e. on the main forum
).
