Gathering ideas for this forum

Post by Gambid »

Hi guys.

I am currently gathering ideas about how to make the MK9 Mod forums better, more organized and efficient for us. So I thought it would be great to ask you, since you are the people who are using it and the ones uploading content. Here are some topics:

1. Guidelines for uploading content and creating new topics. Topic title labels, like WIP, SKIN, MOD, etc...
2. Organization: Do you think we need subforums, like Skins, Trainers, Mods, etc...
3. Facebook, Twitter, Google+ like buttons?

I am open to any ideas and suggestions.
Do you need hosting space for your files. The forum will currently accept up to 20MB zip files.

Would love to hear back from you.

I believe Tutorials and Help sections might be useful in the future as I believe modding and hacking this game will progress. Subforums are not necessary now for different type of mods. For now I'd say leave it as it is.

I'm with Wiggo a Tutorial/Help secction will be helpfull also an Wip section.

The best you can do is keep the things simple, believe me I been in other modding forums and if this turn into a good soil to grow mods, a lot of leechers will show up and it will be much more easy to deal with them if you don't have hundreds of sections.

Finished mods
Wips
tutorials/Help

no more than that, also the guidelines

[hack]playable boosses
[Skin]Blue Skarlet
[Mesh]MK2 Scorpion (3d models)
[Req]Changing sounds (help request)
[Tuto]Importing Models (Tutorials)

something like that.

I think a requests section would be nice.

I totally agree on the simplicity. And until we have only one page, I will leave it the way it is.

Later, we can choose the direction based on the content that is currently online.

I currently have the following topic name tags:

MOD:
REQ:
SKIN:

And any tutorials are pinned. Any other ideas for right now :)

May be the time comes for a sub forum for the finished skins. What do you guys think? Or can it wait a little while longer?

I think it would make sense to have sub forum for finished mods, and maybe WIP and requests? So then all that would be in the main forum would be discussions about MK9 modding, not any actual mods.

I just created 4 sub forums:

- Tutorial and Discussions
- Skins
- Mods
- Requests

The main forum will remain empty and will only be used to organize the other 4. I might even turn in into a category, haven't decided on that yet.
