I can create a board for those hacks in 5 minutes, but I need the devs to actually request it so I know that they are on board with managing a forum.

I'd like a board please.

Sorry, wasn't aware I had to ask.

Also, if any of the boards are truly dead I canjust de-list it from the main menu and keep the forum hidden.

You'd still be able to access the threads if you search, they'd just be de-listed from the main index.

Any candidates?

Let's get #1 sorted then; I'd like to make a formal request for a sub board. Reason I haven't asked before is because there never really felt like an appropriate time to bring it up.

Other than the ones mentioned above, the Kureji Lufia forum looks pretty darn dead to me. There haven't been any posts in a year in the Risen Star forum either, but I don't really know where that subforum sits.

I always let Vanish know whenever there's a post in there, or answer it myself, so that one's fine.

Having personally harassed both of those people to ask you, the response I got from both is that they didn't feel like bothering you. Perhaps it might be prudent to have a sticky on the main site board for incoming modders?

I mean, they don't need to specifically ask me via PM.

It can be someone else letting me know through PM, a thread, or something. I just need to be aware.

No one else has permissions to mess with the site layouts, so it has to be me.

Well, I'll clarify a bit. The only reason I have a board here is because you offered me one when I was talking to you about my registration problems. I never would have asked on my own, partly because I never would have imagined I'd be given one (Brave New World was brand new when I first came here, and not nearly as established as I assumed most of the mods here are) and partly because I *severely* underestimated the amount of traffic that this site would drive to my mod. I imagine many of the people who come here - Sega and Emmy, for example - likely see themselves in the same shoes, and so it would probably be a good idea to have a quick FAQ stickied for people who are interested in hosting their work here and making a home out of it.

Our forum sticky is here:

Maybe a new sticky on the development board?

Yeah, you need a completely different one as you would be addressing a totally different issue. That's basically your "be cool, don't be a douche and you'll get along fine" sticky that everyone should (yet probably doesn't) read. This one would just be aimed at modders, so the development board would probably be the best place for it.

I think the specific thing to convey in that FAQ would be that you needn't have a finished/well-established mod in order to get a forum - just a project in the works and the interest in maintaining a board.

Feel free to de-list the FFV forum. Most of my information is elsewhere anyway, and I have no plans to work on it in the immediate future.

Just pay my tuition, make me an FFX mod where we replace everybody with FF6 characters, and a large bag of Doritos please.

I've cleaned up the forum index for the things you wanted removed and FF7 New Threat and Emmy's mods now have sub forums.

Let me know if you need anything else.
