Forum Organisation?
Hello again. Branching off from the "where will the scene be" thread I was wondering if a site and forum sort out may not help the flow of releases somewhat?
In my eyes the scene will likely rarely shrink or grow in terms of talent, instead seeing a constant flow of leavers and joiners, but if the main site were to become an archive to deserving releases and the forums perhaps re-shaped into better categories, would that not make things better?
I mean, really, how many of the categories here do you visit? The FPS section seems useless, as conversation may as well move to homebrew games and, likewise, with the amount of releases we see, would there be any harm in joining categories like games and apps together?
With fewer people seeming to use DCEmu for news updates, would it not be easier to follow releases than by cutting the board numbers down?
And if the main site was made to look more appealing, was organised into simple to navigate sections, and possibly even included reviews and articles would it not both make it easier for newbies and legends alike to discover some of the excellent homebrew out there, as-well-as possibly helping to create more discussion?
I may just be rambling, but see if you can't see some sense in there...

I take it that would be too extreme for some people?! Yes?! No?! Let's hear all suggestions and maybe find a common ground we could put to the admin's, if others even feel like we need a change at all!?

Off-Topic and Current Events should definately not be combined.
DreamSNES discussion has to stay as that is the official forum of that emulator.
Combining the Dreamcast forums would make a mess - they were split off from each other in the first place to make things neater - they don't need to be added back in together.
The help forums should definately stay - and the Linux and Mac forums get enough use that they should stay as well.
And programming discussion should definately stay as it's a valuable resource - and development ideas was created to keep requests out of the main forums - so that should stay too.
The BOR forum is popular, as is the Quake Dev forum.
About the only forums that probably could be combined are the FPS and Quakedev forums.

God you're an idiot.Cammyfan wrote:That is true. A new website should be started. Since BlackAura has said that emulation is not important and only homebrew is, then why not start a new website named Dreamcast Homebrew? Even though this website is named Dreamcast Emulation, emulation is not important. Is that not correct BlackAura?
