Overhaul

[GIAKEN]

What do I need to do?

I'm trying to reorganize everything. It's all so messy...

We need to start fresh.

[GIAKEN]

I really just want to delete everything and start over. But I won't...

There's just so much shit everywhere.

[KruSuPhy]

I was about to suggest that xD

[Robin]

No one does anything anymore. Just give up already

[GIAKEN]

True...

Should I just go ahead and delete everything?

[Doomy]

True...

Should I just go ahead and delete everything?

no

[GIAKEN]

Well by everything I mean all the resources and legacy shit and show off...

This way I can rearrange legacy stuff.

And help wanted.

A lot of stuff needs to go.

[Beres]

Do it.. This place needs a major kick in the ass to revive this sucker.

[GIAKEN]

Also I want to delete all users with 0 post count but that will clear around half of everybody.

[jasper]

You could delete everyone who hasn't posted anything in so many weeks?

[GIAKEN]

Yeah anybody with 0 posts that hasn't logged in in the past 6 months?

[jasper]

What about any? No matter how many post??? .. maybe.. idk .. sounds kinda stupid..

[Beres]

How does it sound stupid? Deleting accounts with 0 posts that haven't browsed the forums in 6 months. Obviously they aren't coming here so why have them in the DB?

don't you guys relize that the real death of the forums and mirage source is not the arrangement of the forums, but the lack of support for the engine, everyone who knows anything about coding, doesn't make tutorials or anything, what we really need is someone to make a tutorial about packets, someone to make a tutorial onhow to do stuff, a tutorial with comment lines on why everything happens

Good point.. thatd be a help to newbies like me

[Matt]

Tutorials don't teach.

[Doomy]

Tutorials don't teach.

they only teach if you design them that way.

[GIAKEN]

I'm moving everything to archiving hell and locking it for read only purposes.

[GIAKEN]

I haven't looked at OGC at all. I looked at my forums for forum name ideas, but I didn't copy them exactly.

[GIAKEN]

Eh I think the community's given up.

I don't see anything happening in the near future.

[xp79]

Dont fuck with it.
Its perfect the way it is.

[GIAKEN]

Well clearing users that were inactive over the passed 6 months with 0 posts only cleared out about 50 or so.

[Labmonkey]

The problem with this place lies in this statement.

Tutorials don't teach.

I didn't come here to learn. I came here because I wanted to make a game. I stayed because it was a great place to post random crap, but I didn't come to learn.

This place is/was so focused on teaching people, that it forgot about the end result: games. I have been saying this since I first got here, and yet nobody has listened.

[jasper]

Perhaps a sister forum could be made that focuses on teaching people
