Also, I don't care to look into the scrapbox, because theres alot of people who obviously don't know
how to read tutorials, Make a thread just to say that they can't script or something.
They also right , heres an idea of my Hack...

I need Advanced Scripters, the best mappers, ect.

Thnx. Thats being happening a lot lately. I counted 5 since monday with something like that. I say though if a filter for thread approvals did appear and certain requirments were present then I say yes threads in the scrapbox would go up in views just because plainly quality would shoot up.
 
tht's why the scrapbox exists though... the hack showcase was overcrowded with all these requests for threads i bet and the mods and admins decided on making this box for scrap hacks so to speak....

I've been comparing Hack Showcase to Scrapbox and no one cares about hacks there.
Only the BIG hacks get noticed and shows that no-one cares about small hacks.

Everyone works hard on hacks, like I, and some have un-believable things already made and everyone brushes them away like dirt.

Take my hack for example, it has a really good plot and D/P pokes being inserted but everyone thinks that is someone else's rom or something!

Here are the hacks that get noticed:

Hacks with suspense and reputation.
Hacks that get made by someone who made a good hack.
GSC Re-Makes.*Yawn* (There's a DS one coming soon)
And many more...

yeh, i agree, although i haven't actually posted a hack myself, i agree. what you'll find is that people find something they really like, and unless it's something like that they will just brush it away.

take shiny gold for example, everyone loves it. but what about all the other GSC remakes? no-one pays attention to those, because they're too busy with shiny gold.

You'll also find that people actually like release dates, it gives the users a self-certainty that what they're looking forward to will definately happen.

I never knew GSDS was official? Duskgold and Dawnsilver always sounded a bit weird to me.
 
Yeah but a scrap hack would have some screens and at lea people knowing how to hack not oh gee um I ares not hacker so i needs teh scripter an super cool mappa e.t.c. Thats all we have been seeing lately. Except for the decent threads.
 
I don't know what you mean by this, because I started off in the Scrapbox, and I was there for quite a while with growing support until I asked Christos to move me into the Showcase...

I believe that once you're confident enough with your hack that you should ask to have it moved, and you wont have to worry about it anymore.
 
Wat's a scrapbox filter?...
 
yunghove said:
It so that people can't have pointless threads, like," In Need of SCRIPTERS" you know how Mods have to accept threads in Hack showcase? A filter would be so Mods would have to accept the Scrap box thread before its allowed to be posted.

hmm, because they just get locked and the forum has all them waste threads messing the site up with all the space it uses.
 
Why are hacks sent to the scrapbox in the first place=Your awnser
Soy tan real como la vida misma
 
I agree. It's really annoying with people taking threads for fun. If they do that, a thread could be pushed back a page and not noticed.

I think mods should check threads for these and lock them/move them to the back of the scrapbox.
 
It sounds like you guys just want some more attention :/.
Take my advice on this, the scrapbox is used to post scraps, it doesnt mean you plan your hack there, these are the first starting points, basically a developement thread. But I still reckon people should only post in the scrapbox when they've already finished a quater of their hack. Same as in the showcase, people would pay much more attention if you've finished alot of it. Because if you've only done one town, theres not much to see :/. Plus, the less attention you get in your thread the better, take a look at ShinyGolds thread, its filled with all these questions and stupid comments. But it only keeps the hacker busy looking through the thread. If you dont start a thread until your through alot of your hack, it will run much smoothly. Rather than people asking when a betas going to be out.

The scrapbox is made for SCRAP.
If you want more attention, finish your hack, or most of it. Then post it.
 
My thread for Pokemon Malachite should be approved by mods soon. Anyway I hope to make it big. The popular hacks do get alot of the attention...
 
Hmm.. A filter? Well the good side would be the accuracy and space but even so, this would mean yet another level to pass. I mean,"hey I'm a procrastinator!" I can do great work although it'll take me time. The Hacks' showcase is like the master success level for hacks. Scrapbox is where your moved to because its for beginners. That time of mistake happens and you can't always expect no0bs to understand everything that goes on so a filler would not only burn a mod's time but can lead to us missing out on a lot of work just because a noob couldn't work fast or determined enough to put his work up right. Not everone can get work done alone (Not counting Baro though I do believe C_O_M's fakemon will soon be competition). Someone should sticky a mesg to noob looking for recruits to go to team recruits or the team discussion area and stress the point. Don't make a filter because I don't know a fortune teller yet!
 
I used to look in the Hacks Showcase a lot and didn't care about the scrapbox when I was a noob here.
Now, when I made my hack in the scrapbox, I always used to check there more than the hacks showcase.
Now that my hack was moved to the hacks showcase, I look at both.
What I don't like about the scrapbox(as what everyone else said :P) there have been too many useless threads that say they r looking for help because they r too lazy. Me, I asked for help on scripting, because Pokescript wouldn't work on my computer. I wanted to learn badly. Of course, it was different when XSE came out.
It works on my computer and I can script very little now(still learning). But I would like to see some new people actually learn how to do stuff on their own. If they don't, then they can't really call it their hack just because they made a thread. They have to actually DO something.
 
a agree there are a lot of good hacks in the scrapbook that dont get noticed all that much
 
I look in the scrapbox a lot, and anyone could make a hack good or bad, and the good ones deserves to be noticed more. If the people in the scrapbox does more work and fix up there thread, they could ask a mod to move the thread to the hack showcase (like I did with my hack). If they are too un-noticed it could be a sign that it may remain that way unless major changes are made.
