I think a new subsection should be made in scripting called "Completed Scripts".

When a mod sees a thread has [Released] script name he should move it to this new section. It would make things ALOT more organized and easier to find new scripts.

Pssst.... scripts db

no.

this is not neowin

I'd rather have a requests subforum than completed

Some scripts are tested/beta/unfinished/etc before they are released in the DB in the forums with a thread. Besides, the scripts in "Completed scripts" would provide a support thread for any questions/suggestions/etc for the script, something that cant be done in the DB.

Actually it would be the same thing:
If we have a "Completed Scripts" subsection, then everything in the current "Scripting" section would be requests.
If we have a "Request Scripts" subsection, then everything in the current "Scripting" section would be releases.

Personally your suggestion is much better and organized, but when I thought of this thread this came up so bah.

Bad idea.

For the simple fact that many scripts can never be "completed" and there will always be some discussion, some request or some improvement. In the long run that subforum would be no different than the existing subforum.

The official Script DB is as close as you can get to a "completed" subforum. And if people want to request, suggest or discuss something about a script in the DB, they can do it in the existing thread on this subforum (which should be linked to in the script's description!!). And if such a thread doesn't exist yet it can be created.

Although I think almost every script should have a thread, but just 1 thread, not 23412453124512 threads. Not even just 1 "[request]", 1 "[release]" or whatever, as that would be equally confusing and those threads will sooner or later overlap anyways with information and/or suggestions and/or bug reports. And not even a new thread for updates of a particular script. That can be done in the very same thread also.

I think the scripts/skin creator should at least be able to have the startpost, so a new topic when filling a request is fine IMO, but no more than that either. The startpost of a thread can be used by the creator to edit and put in notices / extra info /etc. But i believe we had a discussion like this before

I agree, but don't you think it's kinda messy to have everything related to a script in one big thread? Even if the first post is kept updated, the posts right below it could be a year old and reporting problems that no longer exist, etc. :\

It's also confusing when several unrelated conversations are happening in a thread at once.

I still want to make a "Script Requests" subforum (as discussed here) for consistency with "Skin Requests"... identifying all the old request threads that need moving will be tricky though.
