Everything.. it's a new feel to this forum now, seeing my favorite section be changed like this -_-

And I intended that self-admission ;D

I'm glad the staff has finally decided to impose stricter rules on the Hacking section.
The majority of the projects to hit the scrapbox in the past have never been seen through because the people were to inexperienced and didn't know what they were getting themselves into.
Thanks for finally doing something this mess, hopefully this will clean up the hacking section.

Be careful Haruki, you might get Luke mad for speaking of Brittany Spears XD;

So we need a beta to get it moved from the Progressing Hacks section to the Hack Showcase?

That's apparently the case, and the scrapbox will be the starting point from which the hack could be developed.

He was talking about me. @[email protected]

It's just a better way of organizing the hacks as a whole. The hacks are still there. It's not like one forum is for hacks that are "better." It's just a way of separating the more developed hacks from the ones that are still in the planning/beginning stages of innovation.

Well, I don't like this very much -_-
Its really just an annoyance, now there are THREE threads to get spammed by hack threads...
The best alternative I would think is to just kill the scrapbox and the progressing hacks sections, and disapprove anything that doesn't belong in the hackshowcase. Less spam, less of a hassle (cause now there is another thread to moderate, i'm sure you guys will really like doing that.)

That is a brilliant idea, I actually support that all the way.


Please, consider this idea!

Well, now its technically one section to get spammed by hack threads, but since the majority of those never even last a week anyways, it won't matter.
Which is why a deletion of hack projects in the scrapbox every two weeks or so is a good idea.

No, that's no the idea of the reorganisation at all.
Oh really? I do think it would be a good idea. With three sections now, there will be endless spam.

Like I said in the post above yours, there will only be one section that will get the spam :|

My hack was moved from the hack showcase to the Progressing Hacks section. So I got to work on it more.

I think this is a good move, the hack showcase was getting very big, now only the best might get there.

So you haven't realized that the other two sections require a moderator's approval to make a thread in? So then it would be impossible for someone to make a spam thread, eh?

Nice rules though~

I hated it that there were hacks that haven't progressed much were in the Showcase so easily.
I'm happy that there is something in the middle now!

Is there any way we could have some title specifics? What I mean is that each Hack in the Showcase should be named...

Pokemon DNA <- In that style, give or take an acute on the 'e'
Hack of Pokemon FireRed <- The subtitle which isn't in bold.

It means that Hacks Showcase thread looks far neater and more professional. It's frustrating to see...
[B.] LANCE'S QUEST [/B.] popping up when it would be far better with higher standards invoked.

Maybe just make Scrapbox and Progressing Hacks sub-forums for Hack Showcase?

Unlike some people, i actually like the changes, and welcome them.
Even the hacks showcase was becoming a bit like the scrapbox, because there were more and more threads just barely making it in.
with the hacks showcase being upgraded, we can finally see the games with a lot of potential.
but, may I ask what the exceptions are in the hacks showcase?
does the

apply if a person refuses to send a beta for reasons, but has a lot of potential?
and if a person is working on a hack for a certain amount of time, can it also be accepted?

Actually, that's not a bad idea. :)
Except, leave the scrapbox as is, because those are hacks that don't get enough attention and aren't always progressing.
As for the sub-forum under the hacks showcase for the progressing hacks, that;s a good idea. ;)

I think the new changes are pretty cool. Although, kind of sudden. :/
Meh.

@.Pichu-kun: Even though I'm not very familiar with vBulletin, I don't think you can add a sub-forum to a sub-forum. Not really sure, but, you know.
