Cleaning up this forum

<div class="IPBDescription">Dev phase tags, a release thread, etc.</div>Those of you who used to check out the NS Modeling forums will remember how well organised it was.

First, it had a stickied release thread listing all the models/custom art that got completed.
Second, each topic had a tag telling you what status progress was at, e.g.:

[CON] (concept - exploring ideas)
[REQ] (request - if you would like someone else to make something for you)
[REL] (release - something that you can download and experience for yourself, warts and all)
[WIP] (work in progress - a thread showing everything up to first release, including feedback, discussion, etc.)
[TUT] (tutorial - teaching others how it's done)

The reason I mention this is I'm looking at booking off chunks of holiday from work and was hoping to teach myself some Lua scripting during this time. But checking back on this forum several months after I last did it's a mess, and it seems very difficult to find all the released mods so far so I can read up on methodologies, etc.

Do we have a moderator for this forum, or an enterprising individual who would be prepared to putting in the time to creating at the very least a Release List we could sticky?

Regards.

    +1, This would really be handy (and would also allow me not to look in REQ threads unless I actually wanted to). I'd be perfectly happy to volunteer to moderate, depends if the Forum Gods would trust me.

    If I get bored I might try creating a thread with all of the other threads linked to under sections... unfortunately that method doesn't show you if/when someone is talking in a thread.

    Maybe you guys can do something on the wiki as well, with modding being a stub and all

    * Agrees with what has been said.

    Go annoy the moderators until they give you power Delphic.

    Please do, a NooB like myself can't find my toys in a dirty room.

    Create a release list and message me, and I'll sticky it for you.
