[Discussion]The subsections.
Okay guys, I have my thoughts about the following programming sub-sections, and I want to hear yours.
The "Open-Source Program" section
and
The "Tutorial Section"
Okay, item number one: The "Open Source" section. I vote it gets removed, period.
Reasons: No-one even knows it's there, so noone checks it. It detracts from the other subsections as well, with the tutorial section as well, it means that 90% of shit from the main sections that aren't plain releases get moved to weird subsections when they should be helping build the main section. Take the VB section for example, if I wanted to go look sources for VB to learn from, I'd look in the VB section, not the tiny little link at the bottom of the programming section which looks unimportant. Same goes for tuts, but I'll get to that. Basically, I don't think anyone apart from NG has ever made a post in this section (all the posts were from before each topic was moved to the new section) so yeah....it's just killing potentially great open source releases for no reason. People write them so that their section can see them.
Item number two: "Tutorial Section". I vote we only keep general programming tuts in there.
Reason: As with the opensource section, when people go to look for a tutorial for VB/C++ they will obviously head straight to the VB/C++ section, it makes sense right? Also, as with the OpenSource section, no-one goes there on a regular basis and it's now being referred to as "the graveyard", anyone that gets their tutorial moved to the tut section has a good old QQ because they KNOW no-one is going to read their hardwork. I vote that we keep all main language specific tutorials in their appropriate sections (VB/C++...etc) It will help gain a larger base group for each section rather than diversifying the shit out of each section. What will be left in the main sections if subsections like "Tutorials" and "Open Source Releases" keep on being created. Are we going to end up with "BETA releases", "ALPHA releases" and "Official Release" sections and then shit all happening in the main sections? I vote FUCK NO.
Anyway, those are my opinions on those two shitspots. Let's hear yours.
