Oh, if you want it to be possesive, it's just "i-t-s"; but if you want it to be a contraction then it's "i-t-apostrophe-s"... scallawag.
In addition to a forum, we definatly need a comprehensive, idiot-proof(I repeat, completly idiot-proof) tutorial, for those who have never scripted in their lives and have no idea what an argument is.
I've confirmed with DN that he plans on creating a scripting forum, he just has been too busy lately to follow through. Nag him and it'll happen
Why does DN have to be the one to create it? Why can't we bug the webmaster, what'shisname about it? :p
Seriously though, it'd be a GOOD idea to add a scripting forum, like, NOW. It's hard to get started in scripting at the moment, but I'm SURE people want to (*coughmecough* >_>).
Well, if it's any consolation, ( ... Though that's probably the wrong word. An "alternative" is probably what I'm looking for here.) even though it'll take time, we don't need it *NOW* Rather, what we need, is to actually plan out the structures of the forums. The people know what they want, and they know how it'd work best.
Last we planned, it went something like:
- General Scripting / Scripting Help
- Scripting Suggestions
- Script Requests
- Scripting Showcasing
Fairly self explanatory really.
Why must "Script Requests" and "Scripting Showcasing" be different forums? Why not one "Script Exchange"?
Okay. Anything DN says automatically makes sense. Ya hear? :p
[J/K] ... (Actually I'm not kidding, but yeah, that does sound like something a suckup would say. Since I'm a sheep, rather than a suckup, it does make somewhat of a difference.)
The two forums are actually very different for a few good reasons:
- Any thread in the Script Request forum is fair game to recieve help in or suggestions for that script.
- You can check off threads in the script request forum that have had their script granted.
- In the script showcase forum, you can show off your scripts, have suggestions and comments and feedback posted in them.
- Continuing from the above, most important factor of all, it's a giant collection of ready-made scripts. It's basically the script database people keep asking for.
- The Script suggestions forum I'm not so sure about, since I think that you can probably post suggestions in the "General Scripting Forum." The Scripting Help forum can be a forum of its own.
I mean, it's weird. I'm not sure that there's really enough content to warrant a seperate suggestions forum, AND a seperate General Scripting forum, ... but there -will- be topics of the sort, and they'll have to go somewhere. We also can't let things get all crumpled and mashed together and such when too many topics are made and they all belong to one of the different subcategories of scripting conversation.
*Leaves the thread, sees them, and gasps*
EDIT: ... ... nevermind. L_L' ...
They were all constructed as I was typing this. :p
