I think you're talking like forums inside as section like "Forum & Website" is inside a General section. However "Poll Centre" is a subforum of General Chit Chat.
The main difference is subforums aren't visible on the front page, which makes them less useful to "noobs", who won't bother looking into these places.
Yes I'm talking about the "greater" subforums... I would like to see the plugins section as a Main Forum, and under that have the subforums... But also the "smaller" subforums are a great idea... But yes, they make it harder for the "noobs" to find what they are looking because they don't look that "far" down... But a few more of these won't hurt... Maybe even StuffPlug could get it's own Subforum under Plugins --> Help... Etc...

Well... Yes I see your point, but as a Subforum of a subforum Itm ight be a great idea to add a stuffplug, since there are so many posts out there about stuffplug problems/questions etc... So this might tidy the fourm a bit to have all these posts into the sub forum of the subforum of Plugins....
I hope you understand?.. I might draw a (badly drawn) picture in MSPaint later today...

BUT i feel the user dosnt have enough controll over that webpage , I think after it gets accepted the auther of the plugin can update his plugin for each version/remove his plugin insted of emailing frasie each time.
The Messenger Plus! Plugin Database can't be compared at all with this forum... Beta's Should NEVER be released on the Database, the plugin creators wants to be able to release their plugins for testing without it going to the world wide public... We want to have a fair deal of control with what is going on... We don't suddenly want 1.000.000 people asking Why this plugin doesn't work... We want a place in this forum where we can quietly release out software to the few curious others here, and then when it's ready for public we can release it on the Database, but until it's stable nough for that we want to be able to make the others here on the forum try it out... But beacuse there are so many new posts and threads daily in the plugins section, projects are easily forgotten... Beacuse they "move down the line"... If we sorted this section soem more, we would have much more control of what is going on and properly cut the post count down to the half, since many of the posts/started threads are the same questions OVER AND OVER AGAIN.... I'm just getting tired of this.. I don't want to spend all my time skimming over the first 100 threads to get to a thread I care about... I am interessed in developong plugins and to test others projects.. That's all i'm here for.. I don't care if litle Peter has a problem running Stuffplug, that is not why i'm here.. I'm here to create things for the people and to be part of the programming community...
