I meant for the creation of the empty board /forum sector, not the content of course Tiltin, ..something like a database as you imagined it would be cool but why would that even be the target of such a forum part?

the creation of an empty board takes less than 2 minutes. if your idea of making a new board for content is just throwing it there without moving any relevant threads then that's a pretty bad idea. by waste of time i also mean on the long run, after the board's creation. as in, looking at the board months after it was made and thinking "well that was a waste of time"

yeah, like the music board.

having an another engines board is also useful because of relevance, just like we have a separate fighting games and regular games boards. the two could easily be a single board and it would be even easier to manage, no need to have more is smash a fighting game discussions as example, but fighting games are relevant because the forum is about a fighting game engine, thus a fighting game board was convenient.

the music board is a dud. the fighting game board made sense because when it was created it had pages and pages of threads to move into it. i can't say the same for other engine games

In retrospect, the FG board was actually a pretty damn good idea. Not just because there were a bunch of old threads to drop in, but also a lot of incoming fighting games.

And all of that was due to the massive sales of SFIV opening the market for more commercial fighting games. I doubt BOR, 2DFM, RPGM or anything like that (except that 3D fighting engine) will spike in popularity any time soon.

I'm also not for the board. These threads can be made in Fighting and Gaming respectively. There are a LOT of boards on this forum. If other engines started to make a big growth here I'd vouch for it. Like with the sprite projects board.

Also, if there are boards that are not active we should just remove them to cut down on the clutter. Integrate them into other boards, etc

For. There are some non-mugen projects I have made that I want to post about to get some feedback (good and bad) from this group, and for some reason it kind of felt arrogant to post it in the fighting game section. Sort of like saying my goofy ass patchwork fighters are as good as commercial products.

I'm also agree about making a subforum for other engines, but I think a subsection under Fighting Games should be more than enough than make it its own subforum

Or, if you want to test if this could work without create anything, why don't just make a sticky thread in Fighting Games about Other Engine news and discussion, and evaluate the posts there to be enough for its own subforum??
