| | I have a great idea for this section of this forum.
There needs to be a Novice area and a Advanced area. I see so many "What can i use to make a game in one day" posts. It's crazy. The novice area should be for the people that want to make a game with better graphics and gameplay than Half Life 2. the advanced area would be for people that understand that game making takes alot of time, patience, and skill. |

I understand what you are saying, but I'm not sure if there is enough activity to warrent splitting the forum up. I think it works fine like it is. I don't feel that it is too hard to sort through the noivce and advanced topics, but that's just me. I see where it could get tiresome if there were a lot of threads to go through.

I think you gamey programming people should put up a continuous how-to-make-a-game tutorial thing (ie make a thread and keep adding content (not comments) to it) and delete all the trashy posts that say "Help-me-I-want-to-make-a-game".

I totaly agree with you icedMetal, on one point at least. I have seen so much topics with titles like "how can I make a game" and "whats a good game-making program", I'm just gettin sick of it. But I don't know if your idea is a solution for that. Maybe it's better to put a tutorial "how to make a game for beginners" in the sticky section of this forum. And if people still post that kind of posts then give them a warning, I think that will do it.

Well, ya jet your idea could work. Have any of you ever done those "never-ending story" posts? If you have you will know what I am talking about. Someone could post and idea and some begining code. Then someone else post more code. People could edit/revise the code and add their own ideas. Again, this is just an idea.

How To Backup Your Phpbb2 Forum And Restore It On A Phpbb3 Server.
A step-by-step tutorial for testing your backup and perform an upgrade (1) I love the phpbb2 forum system. I used it to create my family forum. I really appreciated how easy
the installation was, using the “Fantastico” menu of my astahost cpanel. And I appreciate the
one-click backup facility provided by the forum. Making a backup is really easy, and you have to do
it often. So, in case of trouble of your forum, for instance if the forum was spoiled by some
spammers, you can easily go back to a point in time where your forum worked correctly. Also, a
backup is necessary in case of a big mistake (“do you really want to destroy your forum, answer....
