Crossfire Forum

Does anyone have any suggestions on adding new forums?

For instance, a forum for the Win32 GTK Client or Java Client? Big World Maps?

Anything else?

Maybe a specific forum for GTK client itself ?
I assume people reporting bugs will say what OS they are using, so there should be no confusion.
Also people reporting bugs may not know whether it's a win32 specific bug, or a common client bug. Meaning some bugs will be in the 'wrong' forum, or in a too specific one...

Also maybe a map design part? Though it'll conflict with the mailing-list, of course!

Too many places to check in any case

Just my 2 cents (of €)

I agree with Ryo about the GTK-Client. One for all its versions is probably enough.

About the map design forum. Not sure if we really need it. On the other hand, if map making gets a bit more publicity, maybe we'll get more maps
Or more opinions on what players really want and what they like best in maps.

If there are a lot of different forums with no dire need for 'em, people will probably get confused and end up posting in wrong places. I think there is no need for more forums at this point - not before we hit 1000+ posts..

Then again, this is just my opinion.

Don't think that is a problem. I would actually like to see a forum on map-making, maybe also about Editor usage.

I doubt people qill get confused too easily. It is of course nonsense to have very many new forums, but since map making is nowhere really covered it should be. And basically everything (related to general CF) in here is somehow covered by a mailinglist.
