We have been reorganizing our forums and the following changes have taken place:

  • Questions & Answers has been archived. Polls will go in their respective forums and the discussion which was geared towards Q&A will now take place on other forums, General and Crap Shack on most part.
  • Yes, Crap Shack is back! Some people might be confused as to what's the difference between Post 9/11 World and Crap Shack. Crap Shack is going to be the same forum it used to be, a place to chill out with relaxed standards and no strict modding, while Post 9/11 World is dedicated for all things not 4chan. In other words, it's going to be a bit more specific and Chef is going to write a new set of rules for it.
  • We merged RPG Maker 2000/2003 and RPG Maker XP/VX into RPG Maker forum, and Game Maker forum is now part of Miscellaneous forum. In addition, they have been moved to the Game Development category.
  • People Power & Advertising has been archived, and we have set some new guidelines concerning topics which used to go in PP&A:
    • Quote
    Since we decided to archive People Power & Advertising, we have new guidelines concerning advertising, hiring people and asking for help.

    There are no strict rules on where you need to post your topic, but you still need to post it in an appropriate forum. Here are some guidelines to help you decide where to post your topic:

    • Spriters for hire or requests for spriters will go to Graphical Art or Resources+
    • Composers for hire or requests for composers will go to Music Creation, requests for single song composition will stay in Resources
    • "Coders" for hire or requests for coders (as they pertain to game making) will go to their respective maker forum
    • Site advertisements or requests for designers for sites will go to Computers & Web
    • Hosting requests or Hosting sites will go to Computers & Web
    • GW-related advertisements such as GWiki will go to either Feedback or General
    • Mappers for hire or requests for mappers will go to Game & Demo
    • Beta tester requests will go to Game & Demo
    • Writer and/or Consultant services or requests will go to Game Ideas & Design or Literature
    • Voice acting requests or services will go to Resources+ or Film Media

    Post your topic where you think you would get the kind of help you are looking for. If you are looking for a full team to work on your game, we suggest that you'll post a separate topic about each position in the most fitting forum.
  • Hardware & Software is now known as Computers & Web.
  • Soldat forum has been archived and we now have a Netplay subforum in Video & Computer Games.

We still have to do some sticky cleaning and rule tweaking with the new changes so don't worry about those, these issues will be fixed soon.
