*Should Grand Theft Portable have its own forum?*

[sniper_spike]

yay! i found a quarter! ok back on topic, i say yay! one thread for a big project involving a lot of people is too unorganized. it should be a temporary forum cause this is just one project and be deleted after GTP is done because it won't be relevent to anything anymore

A game is never really 'completed', there will be many updates and other work going on long after it is done. A solution to if it is ever completely done, might be to make the forum for a broader range, for the game engine's work and mods and such.

i really dont know it seems to be going fast as it is it sounds like a good idea also so that we can separate the dribble from the important stuff but it seems like it would have very few threads started in it seeing as only a few members here seem to have the skills to assist

[*o*]

i think its a sensible idea but as ben said if you give up itll be a totalwaste

cant we always just delete that forum though when the project is done or when it dies, hopefully it doesnt die though

1. Once the forum is created then deleting it would be possible but a big hit to user's post counts
2. I have no plans to stop this anytime soon, since I have 1320some members watching this I won't have any excuse to get lazy and quit
3. As sniper_spike said, this game will probably never be a done deal. There will be a point at which the game is released as finished, but there will always be bug reports, fixes, etc as well as general gameplay questions. It makes sense to have a seperate place for this instead of cluttering up Forum 00101010.

In this case I think it should be "Yea", not "Yay"

[bicostp]

Ah but what about people who go "What? A whole new forum to discuss in? Yay! "

[Turbo Tax 1.0]

bah you get my vote for yay you guys convinced me it would be wise to create a new category

[Triton]

grr gannon, you got that from our conversation none too long ago on aim! lol yea!

[Sparkfist]

Ah but what about people who go "What? A whole new forum to discuss in? Yay! "

In that case make a programming forum. Yeah I know we had one for about a day as a result from a hacking, but it could be better as it would server more projects like GTP.

[bioniclebert]

I like it, but it shouldnt be a GTP section, It should be something likea GAMES section. you know, like discussing making other (or playing) PC games.

[bicostp]

Or what about a "Misc. Projects" forum? You know, cover all bases (programming, computer stuff, HTML...)

That would crowd up with other stuff, and make it worse in terms of organization.

You bring up a good point. I don't want to sound like someone who just wants their own forum, but really, what would we gain from another 'gaming' forum?
It would basically be another Forum 42, and we would have the same problem with GTP organization that we have now... there would be no way to focus on GTP because there will probably be tons of other threads anyway.

Well, I think games in general are too far removed from the discussion goal at this forum - while GTP is a game, it's directly related to portablization.

1. I think a full GTP forum is better since this game is not only based on us, but the only game project (lol cennar) going on...

2. I can move the GTP sticky to the new forum, not wanting to delete good info...
