Default Re: Go post in the new forum allready

Neat to unclutter the forum, but I am confused now:
In the unlikely case that I want to advertise a new open MP-game, what should I do?

According to the description of the MP-game-forum, its for ongoing MP-threads only, which makes some sense, as advertisements for a new MP-game will reach more people here in this general forum (and the general Shrapnel-MP-forum is too confusing anyway). But I doubt somehow that it was meant that way, as then the Moderators are kept busy with "game has started, now move our thread"-requests...

I don't mind doing those requests. If you don't mind waiting however long it takes me to read your request to move it on over. The only issue I can see is that people suddenly have the thread they have joined a MP game moved to the other forum and do a Last second moment of panic that the game is gone or missing.

I have no problem with getting a MP game together here, then when it's started and moved into it's "Always at the top of the forum" stage of Posts it go to the MP forum where it's easier to track them? (I guess?)

It wasnt so much so that the MPs would be easier to track. It was so that everything ELSE would be easier to track. Basicaly the threads which the devs dont tend to watch. It makes things like Q/A, bugs, and suggestions easier to follow. Plus allowing such threads to remain in-the-view abit longer

We could change the description to only be MPs I guess.

Im not sure on the server thread. Much of it is important concerning requests to add switchs for better automated hosting but it gets lost in other stuff. Maybe splitting it.
