Zetr0 · 16 November 2006, 20:02

there are some subltes that KG is working on, with hope and a lot of hard work it should be up and full functioning within this weekend

The words "complete" and "legend" suddenly spring to mind.

And I actually like the forum's colours.

girv · 16 November 2006, 22:51

Great news KG - I'm looking forward to the angry "acceptable use violation" letters from my ISP when you get the archives up

And the colours work for me.

Thanks for all the effort.Colour scheme is nice and it's atmosphere is similar to when watching Amiga Demos.

To be honest I don't see the forum getting THAT much attention but it does mean people can point out any probs/issues directly if they want to.

I may also be setting up a forum for Girv (or for any other whdload coder to be honest) for beta whdload slaves.

well my two cents is that there is a heavily used yahoo whdload site/bullettin where people actively send feedback and the whdload slavers contribyte answers. i personally cannot stand the bullettin structure, i don't get it much and while i'm registered there i've logged in just once in 6 months.
there are people such as you that are active instead in a number of amiga forums, like amigagames or others and like it so but also there are many whdload slavers that declared (and they have their ok reasons) not to read questions about the slaves posted outside the proper whdload forum. only some of them for instance read the section on this board, so even less would maybe support the forum you suggest. of course you could help people asking but in that case 1) they would have been referred from this board prolly, and so would have already all the info needed to address their questions to the best informed peoples (the slave writer) address and 2) there would be your filter, so you would spend time in doing what they could do alone.
so i'm not sure a board is a very useful tool, if there would not be more to it than that.

killergorilla · 20 November 2006, 16:27

Well I'm sure Girv will take your points into consideration, he approached me and asked if it would be ok and I said yes. The beta slaves are from him and he'd have mod status within his beta-bit, so it's entirely up to him how much use he gets out of it.

I'm sure he'll post something on the subject himself

girv · 20 November 2006, 17:33

For the record, after I'd asked KG privately to see if such a thing was possible I'd intended to publically post the question of "would such a forum be useful?" ... but I didn't quite get around to it and the discussion seems to have started ahead of me

And FTR II: it wasn't just for me, it was to be for all patchers. I guess I didn't make that clear to KG in my message (sorry).

Anyway, If we can take a step back from the specific idea of a forum on KG's site, the question is really to do with the testing of new slaves before general release on the main WHDLoad page. I can't speak for the other slavers, but I find it difficult to get feedback during development. There is the [WHDLoad] Yahoo! group but I see little (if any) testing going on there or on the developer list. There is another, closed group but it seems a little dead these days.

So what to do?

Is there a need (or desire) to beta test slaves within a small group before general release or am I just torturing myself? If there is a need, is the usual WHDLoad group the best place? What about the EAB WHDLoad forum?

I just want to open the question up for discussion and see what shakes out

@mods: is this better moved to a new thread?
