There ... used to be ... a "new index" Thread

 

[AceHart]

Currently, our mods are playing "I see something you don't".
Sooner or later, they might actually come to some kind of decision.
Let's hope it will be soon.
As in, real soon.
Preferably right after reading this!

"Obsolete"? There's a link to the left... pointing nowhere.

 

[Ghan]

Yes! The decision is reached. And it is this:

The Index (new or otherwise) is completely obsolete. Since the Tutorial section was recently (loose term) re-organized, there is no more need for an index. There is a whole forum for approved tutorials, and a whole forum for unapproved tutorials, and a whole forum for dead tutorials. There is also the index on the WET site, which should be good enough.

That is when an admin comes in handy

------------------------------------------

The index doesn't exist anymore. The WET site already lists the approved tutorials, and that's it. Unapproved tutorials are either in the Graveyard, or in the submission forum, which should, in a near future, be clean

It is not obsolete. The reason people use the index is because it makes it easier to find the tutorial you want. Plus their is a forum for approved and a graveyard not one for unapproved tutorials. In the graveyard you have system and spells mixed in to the forum making it harder to look at the tutorials. Not only that in the index you have organization like if you were trying to find a JASS tutorial it would all be in the same spot. You also have to realize people don't look at the sub-forums as much as the main forum. Those were the reason why the The index reached the 5th highest views on WEH Zone with 15,000+ views. I suggest keeping the index.

 

[Sim]

If we counted the views for "User-submitted" on the WET site it would certainly be higher.

Why divide those views in 2?

We had 2 indexes, now we have one. Plus, the sidebar will have a link to the WET site's index instead.

Unapproved tutorials shouldn't be "recommend" in an index. If they're worthy, then they should also be worthy of approval, no?

Well, they weren't so: No more index for these.

 

[PurgeandFire]

So does that mean that all unapproved Indexed threads were sent to the graveyard?

> So does that mean that all unapproved Indexed threads were sent to the graveyard?

Maybe. Or not. If they are still somewhat recent in replies.

 

[PurgeandFire]

And recent is?

 

[Ghan]

I believe the cut-off was 3 months from the original post date AND one month from the most recent post.

You seem to have answered this in the title of this thread...

Oh... Damn. >.<'

No wonder why my Cinematics tutorial is buried in there. I will soon get a shovel though and get a paladin to dig it out and use the Paladin to ressurect it. Such a sad story...

 

[Sim]

The resources in The Graveyard aren't lost forever. If you feel it is good once again and meets the standards, update it!

 

[PurgeandFire]

Yea, I'm editing it with pictures. I recently figured out that tons of people are attracted to that...

I just need to add the pictures, a test map, and have some admin/mod add the suffix "(With Pixures!!! ZOMGTISRULZ!)".

 

[U are a noob]

Meh I geuss I'll stop arguing the mods has had a firm decision. I do hope you guys reconsider.

 

[Miz]

I think the index was a good idea because it was easier to find things
But sadly I don't need the Index anymore because WC CD screwed up :Sob:

So does that mean that all unapproved Indexed threads were sent to the graveyard?

Well now something to do in my spare time but...

You mods sound like politics... Anyway I just think it should be a good idea to keep the Index but it seem like Majority vote (of Mods) ^^
