Forums in Member's project

[Doom-Angel]

i just noticed there are forums for a certain maps were made in members project and i just wanted to ask since when did you started giving people their own forums for their project?

 

[waaaks!]

yeah got any questions too

how can we make our own project as a forum?

 

[The Helper]

PM a mod about your interest in having a project forum, let them know about your project, etc, and if it is approved you can have a forum. You should, of course, be an active Member of the forums (having at least a Custom Title would not hurt either).

And the project must be either complete or very close to completion, not one that requires more people to finish.

 

[Doom-Angel]

oh k thanks for the answer
you sure i need to PM a mod?
i dunno if they do or not but i don't think mods have the option to open forums and i think it's only admins tool isn't that like that? and if so i should probably PM an admin?

 

[SFilip]

Mods will forward your PM to the mods-only forum where the staff members will discuss about its approval.

 

[Doom-Angel]

k thanks for the answer

 

[The Helper]

It is a multi level approval process. Goes to a mod, then the mods look at it and if it gets OK then it goes to the Admins for approval.

 

[waaaks!]

i hope there will be a forum about approved and high quality maps...like only those approved and high quality maps are in that forum, because there are some serious project and some are not....like people dont want to go inside a serious project, maybe because they think that the project is not serious

 

[esb]

Well, not a lot of maps are being currently released.
What do you mean by "serious"?

 

[waaaks!]

like it would last for a long time, not like those threads that has been posted a while ago, and next week....the project dont have any updates or something

 

[The Helper]

If they dont update for a while then we will merge all the posts into a thread and dissolve the forum.

 

[waaaks!]

yeah u got a point there

 

[The Helper]

The goal here is to allow more access to a project forum thus giving more projects a chance. The forums are easy to make and delete so why not I say?

If we ever get any good projects that make progress, generate interest, etc (has not happened yet) then we can go from there, maybe raise the standards or whatever but at this point if a forum is going to help a project then we have the resources to make that happen for our regular members.

I have a question.

I am working on a series of maps that together are a campaign. If I want my own sub-forum for this project do I need all the maps done? Or just one at least?

 

[PurgeandFire]

You need to be almost completed with it. If not, you can always upload an unfinished, v0.0 beta version and fix it as you go along.

 

[waaaks!]

yeah and that means almost finished

not like u finished 1 out of 10 maps

instead 6 out of 10 maps

i think im right

 

[Somatic]

Now i understand why. But By Having a Forum for the project also means that the project needs to be very popular too right? I hope i can make my project famous enough
