A few sub-forums?
Was just thinking it might help to separate out 3 help forums
request.Assembly Language Help request.Hardware Programming Techniques request.System Programming Examples and Releases from the main forum. Right now it's kinda mixed together with project threads, questions about tools to use, etc. Would be easier for people who know some of the request. stuff to subscribe to forums with threads they could answer, and with Releases there would be somewhere coders can show their work and get feedback. What do you think? |

I agree with you Photon, when I finish my demo (err.. probably 3 or 4 months time) it would be great to have somewhere I can actually mention it

@ Photon - I agree that your approach would give some more structure to the archive.

I wanna see the results of all your efforts! Many people come here wanting to code demo stuff but never actually do. You're actually doing it so kudos for that. I'm looking forward to seeing it! By the way, I know time is always tight but it would be really cool for it to be released at the Sunrise party maybe? Would be great exposure for your demo. |

What about an AMOS programming forum seeing as no one ever seems to post anything on AMOS Factory.

In each subforum there could be a few "Getting-started" stickies (for example, replace my 3 subforums above with 68000, Hardware and System stickies in the Assembler subforum) and maybe also a Request subsubforum where someone can ask for code and someone could dig it out from their sourcedisks Releases could still be a single subforum in the "root" though, since they're binaries they're independant of language. |

PM RCK with the sub-forums required and he may create them!

I would like separate subforums (possibly inside Coder's Heaven) for:
- assembly language questions - demo coding effects & hardware techniques - system programming + C - Amos + bbasic - MetodGit ehrm, cracking questions |

Ok.. PM RCK and ask him about it
Though Basic is enough for Amos and BB and would allow GFA Basic, Amigabasic too I don't see how system programming + c should be grouped together. System programming can fall into other languages too. Maybe System programming & Hardware programming techniques? |

That sounds like an unproductive forum. There's not many assemblers, books or such to choose from, and you wouldn't ask 'Blitz Basic language questions'. I think you mean a normal asm forum
Which should be linked to -> As high level language gits are unlikely to bother with the hardware. I'm all for an asm+hardware forum, they fit together like mud and straw While I would like separate language forums because they're more helpful to users that way, I could live with a forum like that, if occasional asm can be mixed in -- in general, they're exchangable since you're just using libraries ever which way in whatever language, and they look very similar in all. If AMOS and Blitz code is very reminiscent of generic BASIC code, a generic BASIC forum for the dialect would make it easier for users+mods, I think. Otherwise, see above - dialects are okay but code written in the language you love will always be more useful and exciting Don't agree, but maybe a cracking forum where gits in general who want to learn the skill can ask for help and get it. Unless they're being too much of a git. OK, I'll PM RCK and ask if he likes this suggestion: - asm+hardware programming forum (basically Coder's Tutorials could be renamed/moved to this and threads of interest already there made stickies, and... ready for action!) - system programming (any language really, since the interface is basically the same) - language forums by request (I/we/RCK/all could start a poll sticky and mods could create forums based on the poll) - releases (because they're not questions or discussions but still interesting to subscribe to) I think this would cover it all without there being a forum spree giving too much work for mods. I could help moderate the main forum and/or asm+hw. I think this sounds sensible. Do you agree? Last edited by Photon; 10 August 2011 at 20:55. |

I guess I could see that as something WHDLoad contributors could subscribe and contribute to, for new slaves or slave fixes. I'm not very knowledgable about cracking, but I guess there are no old games left to crack and if you crack new releases it might not be popular I don't know... you mean the WHDLoad forums aren't more ideal for this?
There's cracking just for learning it I guess, that's OK with me. Just like to keep # of sub-forums 'by request' to not make too much work for mods. Don't know what they think of all this yet, maybe RCK will reply here when he checks the PM. |

There's only one admin Which means RCK is the only one that can add new sub-forums (or change them).

Those changes seems nice, I will apply them right now and made Photon moderator of them. (So he can moved / slit thread as needed)

OK I opened a lot of new subforum and added Photon as moderator.
Feel free to ask me any modification if needed http://eab.abime.net/forumdisplay.php?f=37 |
