[vBarcade] Games Development Thread: Updating the first post...

[N9ne]

There's now about 40 games released [joecool is guilty ] for the arcade and it's becoming a real mess with 55 pages in that thread. Someone needs to be assigned the 'games monitor' job, to keep updating the first post with direct links to the posts in the threads which contain working versions of the games. I think this will benefit all, because as of now, if someone goes to that thread, they will just use the links in the first post to the games, because most will think that the 55 pages are just full of support, but really they are loads of quailty games hidden away, however futureal is quite busy and isn't around to update the first post.

I'm sure, if a moderator/supermoderator/admin isn't up for the job of doing so, someone [maybe joecool?] could be made a thread-moderator, (oh come on, it's not that hard to allow one user to edit a specified post, Xenon, Erwin? ).

Anyway, I thought i'd post this because many are waiting on the first post being updated to find the games as going through 55 pages is not an easy task by any means, especially for those who don't have so much time on their hands.

Just an idea :banana:

There are more games.

I will have to check it out. I thought the first page was edited regularly.

There's easily 30 if not 40 games now .

Good that i subscribed to that thread!

[Xenon]

hmm, ok you're right, it wouldn't be that hard to implement it, but, i don't want to hack this board anymore if it's not really nessesary.

you have two possibilities now:
-always contact a SM/Admin to update the post
-contact the author and ask him to name someone who should become the first poster (userid change of the post ) and that he should contact me/erwin

[N9ne]

Well I don't really know lol, I'm one of the victims of 'thread-mess' and I'm looking for a solution. Xenon, you could install your hack 'more options on edit post' to change the userid or run a simply query

Anywayyyyyyyyy Erwin seems to go to that thread sometimes, maybe he could do it? No idea.

[Xenon]

N9ne, yeah the userid change is easy, but i need the permission of the author

[N9ne]

I don't think we should change the userid of the first post actually, because that's like a hack thread for futureal..it will cause a lot of complications and issues for futureal...

[Xenon]

look at the new second post

[Erwin]

AAHHHhhhhhh... I don't think I have time to comb through the thread to post links in the first post for the games. If someone does it and PMs me, I'll be more than happy to add it to the first post. But I won't be doing it on a daily basis (which is how often games are added).
