Re: Reorganising the forums
From what I understand, MCO has actually released stuff. It would be rather unfair to group it lower on the forum just because no one else has.
HWBP released stuff too. Just sayin'

Re: Reorganising the forums
Actually, we are releasing quite often  :P

Indeed it looks a bit lonely in it's own board, though if it's just for me, the more to the top the better I like, because I'm lazy to scroll :)

But more important, of course I also want fans to find the board, since these people often are unfamiliar with freespace and have to scroll a quite long forum list already to find the board...... If I could express my personal like of cleaning, I would work with much more "subboards", so that the main forum page is not so long. Making Top-Categories with subboards could be an optical enhancement, though of course one click more for the rest of you people here.

But regarding the "our fans shall find us" thought, I think placing us back together with the other non-freespace projects is fine. Since they are only 4 anyway, I don't think a seperation between released and unreleased is really necessary. Putting it back together to the others, might help find the board more easily.

Just don't push us down too much..., that would be nice....

(edit) Regarding released and unreleased, you could add an optical marker for that to the forum headline. Like a big and bright coloured dot, indicating here has something been released.... just thinking, imo the idea has something.

9 out of 10 voices in my head always tell me that I'm not insane. The 10th is only humming the melody of TETRIS.

Yeah, that was an issue I wanted to bring up with you. Is that project still alive?

Re: Reorganising the forums
It... yeah no, it's not. Unless of a miraculous regain of motivation on my part. If you want to put it somewhere along with other dead projects, go ahead.

Re: Reorganising the forums
I can leave it where it is for a while longer. I just didn't want it with the released stuff if there was never going to be any progress and it only got as far as a demo (unless the demo was fairly substantial)

Re: Reorganising the forums
Well it was fairly substantial I'd say, as far as HW2 mods go.

Re: Reorganising the forums
While it has only few missions, it has a lot of ships and effects - enough that people can make entire campaigns in the mission designer (if HW2 has something like a mission design tool that is).
Imagine it like a FreeSpace mod with an almost complete mod-pack, but only a few skirmish missions.

Re: Reorganising the forums
HW2 doesn't have anything remotely looking like a mission designer :|
