Addressing the new Hacks Showcase changes

[Disturbed]

Heh, you just had to mention that last sentence, didn't you...
fine -_-'

Well, I can't say I support the idea, but I'll adjust to it.

He didn't name any names, so you really didn't need to make that self-admission.

Curiously, what's to get used to?

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. @_@

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.)

i have a question. how come my hack Liquid Crystal is in the hacks showcase when it dosnt have a beta released? i thought that was one of the requirements for it to be there...

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.

 

[linkandzelda]

ah. ok well thats true (almost 2 years development counts right? XD) but why is a hack that has a beta still in the progressive hacks showcase? its Pokemon - Top Secret btw. just wondering

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

 

[Megiddo-san]

It's the mod's decision. It has to have enough dev ito.

(I didn't see that :O) Not true. Now the n00bs see that they have three areas to spam.

 

[TB Pro]

That analogy makes it clear that you don't understand the purpose of the current reorganisation. Go read the first post again.

No it just means I know what's going to happen.

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.

 

[Virtual Chatot]

No it just means I know what's going to happen.

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?

 

[Tyrantrum]

A playable game to get in! :O
Sounds pretty fair, but I better work hard to get my hack in here. o.o;

Nice rules though~

 

[Shadows]

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!
