Re: Let's talk about Forum changes

I've been thinking about a Forum for Mod requests for some time, here is why I won't create one:

The changes are mainly with new players in mind. You guys know the forums and the game in and out, you don't really need these changes to navigate the forums. However lots of new players think that mods are created by Giants or that they can just approach a Modder, tell him what to do and the Modders will salute and run to start the task and create the requested mod. (sounds stupid? Well I get that every single time. Together with upset players when I tell them that's not how it works).

So for every forum I have to ask several questions:

Do we need it? (in this case.. maybe)
How will new players percive it? (That's the bad part. If there is a forum to request mods, then requesting and getting mods must be a thing RIGHT?)
Will it have enough traffic to have a reason to exist? (maybe. I'd think yes).

So that's a yes, a no and a maybe... so let's not do it (however we sill have Mods 'general discussions' basically, so that should do the trick)

Yes that makes sense. I think it would definitely have the traffic but would also incline people to think if they ask they will certainly get it.

I'll get back in me hole :lol: :coolnew:

I am on board with Lisertan. I think the thread will get plenty of traffic but it might upset the modders because they are being asked to make and convert mods that aren't possible. (you can probilly name them.)
