Individual sub-forums for your hacks

[kmfdm_kid2000]

I agree with Zaj, larger hacks like his RPG, as well as Lesane's store should have sub forums, because this brings on the possibility of add ons being inspired...I think we're all experianced enough in the forum business to know that when you De-Generalize a topic, I.E. make sections for different ASPECTS, people tend to delve way deeper into the topic at hand...

Here the topic is vBulletin hacks...I think that this is a practical idea that should be implimented, and I predict support for some of these more major additions would increase in effectiveness, as well as quality...

I do hope you take it into high consideration...

I disagree. Just becuase a hack is huge doesn't mean it is super great and should be used by everybody and just because a hack is really small doesn't mean it isn't (very) useful (a lot are more useful than the huge hacks). Really, that FAQ idea is really, really good, and I think that if anything is added, it should be.

i think once it hits so many pages it should get it's own sub forum because if people have that many posts about it, even if it's not getting support by the author it's getting support/help/addons by somebody and this would just help seperate and make it easier to find info on a particular thing

so i voted yes

Small or large, all hacks play a role within this community. If the sub-forums are planned out how I am viewing them (from the top of my head), the larger hacks having their own forum(s) would let the smaller hacks rise a bit in the rankings as they would not be pushed down by the larger hacks within the same forum.

While I do not post as often as I used to due to my hosting website and others, I have been here and back and have noticed that larger hacks seem to dominate the top; be it for support, errors, or just for "thanks".

Seperating the hacks a bit would help a great deal in my honest opinion; it certainly would help those smaller hack authors get the exposure for their hacks.

I can't say that all of the larger hacks are "top notch" but some really do derserve a forum of their own as when you have a thread with 100+ replies and the hack author asks you to search the thread for an answer posted a while back (even with the search option) it is very tedious.

I say go for it!

is anyone still considering doing this? or is it a dead topic now?

23 out of 42 votes say yes...
not that great majority

The FAQ is a much better way to go. I'd rather have an organized list of topics instead of having to sort through even more threads about a hack. Wouldn't a FAQ be easier?

Q: Why do I get a database error saying there is no 'pmunread' field?
A: You need to run the DB queries before installing!
