Hey everybody,

I know many of you are execited to see one thing or another being added in askin but for now, please refrain from creating any [Request] thread. This subforum is probably going to rapidely become overcrowded and it will complicate thigns if half of the posts are jsut people asking others to create a skin for them.

So let's say we create one request thread and post everything in it (mods: please merge separate threads when you see some, thank you ).

Or have another subforum in here for requests?

That will be the same thing.

But we could just have a subsection for requests, and all releases posted in this bit, so it keeps this bit just to releases

a sub-forum would be good too

you'd then also need a sub-forum for bug reports and questions, etc.

This bit of forum shouldn't technically be any different from the scripting one (which has it all in one)

So I say either they both change, or they both remain the same

A requests subforum is nice since we then can discuss requests (as they are already discussed now). Putting all requests in one thread will result in duplicated requests and a messy discussion...

Updates, bugs, etc can perfectly be posted in the [release] threads of the individual skins. No need for another subforum for that.

Once a skin has been made upon request, the skin developer can easly post a small post with link in the [request] thread pointing to the [release] thread and be done with it.
From that time on bugs and general discussion about the skin can be continued in the [release] thread.
Updates could/should always be posted in the first post of the [release] thread.

And see how messy that has become.....

It was requested to do it from the start. It wasn't done, and now it is too late for the script forums. (Unless there is some VERY dedicated mod around, without a real social life, who is willing to go thru all the threads, moving them around, adjusting links, etc... )

I don't deny that it's messy.  I just figure that consistency is better than having inconsistencies around the site.

The script one could be moderated bit by bit.  Create the new subforums and outline the new guidelines for posting in it.

Possibly even temporarily take on new moderators simply with the task of moving threads into appropriate forums.  I've got a 4 week christmas holiday coming up with nothing to do except rest and mess around on the computer so certainly wouldn't mind spending 20-30 mins each day moving some threads around

Yes, I vote for the subforum!
