An Idea Regarding The Atmosphir Section

[ElectroYoshi]

So Nin has been posting server updates to this thread, where I voiced concerns regarding OneMoreBlock's suitability (or lack thereof) to host the game, since the forums are made with gaming in general mind, not a single game.

True, but OneMoreBlock was not made with a game in mind.

My concern doesn't lie in the servers so much as the forums. They were built with gaming in general in mind, which is why I kind of wonder if it should be the sole outlet for Atmosphir players.

OneMoreBlock is a gaming forum though. Like I said, it isn't built with an actual game in mind, just gaming as a whole. The Atmosphir forums were made with Atmosphir in mind, whereas these forums weren't.

However, I have an idea that I think would make the OneMoreBlock forums much better suited to hosting the game.

Allow me to explain. Overall, this forum has 10 boards, that are divided up into 3 groups. Here is the current layout of the boards on this site.

General
OneMoreBlock
Gaming Gossip
Technology Talk
Creative Corner

Servers
CubeWorld
Atmosphir
Standard Minecraft

Other
Off Topic
Forum Games
Pigflags

As you can see, only 1 of the 10 boards on this forum is devoted to Atmosphir. Not even separate things pertaining to Atmosphir. Every aspect of the game is merged into one board.

So here's what I'm suggesting: Instead of one board devoted to the game, how about we have a whole nother group of boards devoted to the game. Y'know, like this:

General
OneMoreBlock
Gaming Gossip
Technology Talk
Creative Corner

Servers
CubeWorld
Standard Minecraft

Atmosphir
General
Levels
Design Workshop
(Please note that these particular board ideas are suggestions and nothing more)

Other
Off Topic
Forum Games
Pigflags

So, thoughts?

[Phantomboy]

Exactly what I was sort of trying to explain when you were voicing your concern - I think that is exactly what we should do. I am in full favour of this idea

[Miniike]

+So much support

[ThatOneFox]

This needs to happen.
Also bring back teams plz.

[Phantomboy]

What do you guys think about having the Bugs and Support sections in one? I mean, the generally serve a single purpose - especially with a smaller user base, I am sure the the community and moderators could handle tending to both in one. What do you think? If Nin is able to get the registration and posting working then I will likely be asking Wowfun if I/he can go through and rework these sections.

Also bring back teams plz.

Oh, that would be so cool! I call being on StreetLight's team!

[ThatOneFox]

And then we could bring back section specific moderators/LOTD selectors (editorial staff)
Guys, this NEEDS to happen!

[Phantomboy]

What I personally would find cool, would be to have some sort of community run LOTD selection process I am not exactly sure how they might go about doing something like that but perhaps through some sort of submission process. We could even have community filmed "Jumpstart-Tributes" I think the Atmosphir server is just the beginning of opening up tons of more outlets

[bionicnacho]

I think all of this sounds good! What I see right now is that there are not a lot of threads popping up on the Atmosphir board alone. If we have all these different sections, we would have like 2 threads per section. Once we have more people coming in for Atmosphir once it's fully working, I don't see why not do this. But for now, I don't see the need for such categories. That's just my opinion, anyway.

[Wazi]

I don't really think Teams are needed just yet, due to lack of active players (I think).
But Atmosphir really needs its own section.

I agree, once we get the Atmosphir server up - and we see what kind of activity it has, then the community can start talking about what we might need

Firstly, I would assume we might only start out with a few boards. Perhaps Bugs/Support, Levels and General. Then, as we need and as we the community send in feedback as to what is needed then Wowfun, etc... can start on what other sections we might require.

I appreciate enthusiasm, but I think you are thinking too far ahead into the future... I think you have better things to be doing/writing with your time than this, Yoshi.

I think it is worth talking about, I mean this is sort of a good way for people to state their opinion on something before it, sort of happens

But yes, it is likely a little ways off to start putting any immediate plans. We can always discuss stuff though

Please note it's signed Yoshi.
Don't know what that means, but note it.

Well I for one welcome the enthusiasm. :p I churned out like 500 lines of code and the level uploading functionality just the other day because of this thread. (Get on mah level Kroltan). There's a weird bug with not being able to play levels on solo mode though. So I still have to check that out before finally letting you guys create your own accounts.

It is awesome to here from you, Nin! We owe thanks to Yoshi, for prompting it I cannot wait to get access to this, I am very eager! Great work!

K I take it back if it causes you to program like a baws.

Having bugs and support lumped together into one would probably be much more efficient.

It'd probably be more efficient to lump them into one than it would be to keep them separate.

Quite exciting to hear. Great work as usual, my good man.

I think that would definitely work a lot better.
