Proposal on Project Thread Standard

Okay, if the mods like this, could they sticky it? If it stickifies I'll modify the first post appropiate to that. Well, I kind of attempted to start something on here, that I've seen from the Bob and George's Forums (you need to sign up to see anything). What it is would be collecting everything into a single thread. This mostly done in the Fancomics, spritting, and a few other forums. Mostly due to people posting new threads for groups of things thhat can be put into one thread. In the spriting forums on Bob and George, you are only allowed one thread. That is to contain _all_ your spriteworks. Same for the comics forums. This mostly to keep things managable for the mods. Now that is a little extreme in this forum. I suggest that each project gets a option to one thread, and anything to do with that project is posted _there_. If you wish to post stuff about your own project, do not do it in somebody else's project thread. If you want to advertise your project, start your own thread. Other threads would be allowed, just one appropiate to this forum, that don't necessarily fit into a project thread. On Bob and George, their counter part would be the comics forum, where all your comics (if you do comics) must be included in one thread. I would suggest that each project you plan to submit gets its own thread. The post traffic in the contest forum is not as much on Bob and George--so you could have more threads going at once. With the thread name, I suggest a format of title :== <"[4E4]"> . <project name> . ["project thread"] (BNF--if you can read that, you can probably explain it to those who cannot). So summary: * Project informantion goes in appropiate thread (for example: not somebody else's project information thread). * Mutliple threads for multiple projects. * Other threads are allowed, as long as they are appropiate (I am still hazy on appropiate--need input on that). * Label that project thread. This is only a proposal, as I am not a mod, but trying to applease the mods towards a setup. I am open for suggestions.

Well, what about the rest of us who DON'T have GDNet+? Do we just post here? Or do we get a website, like I've done?

You could also get GDNet+.

If you know HTML and could make use of website for something other than just this contest, than fine--do the website option.
Pro:
- Adds polish to your project
Con:
- requires a slight ammount more work.

If you have GDNet+ and want to do the journal thing.
Pro:
- Get to use your journal for something.
Cons:
- Is kind of elitist--some people are unable to get GDNet+ accounts, or it just isn't a good idea (for me, I don't want to pay for features on a site that I will be spending most of my time in karma hell on)

If you want to do a Thread, it should be just fine.
Pro:
- Gives a quick access to those just browsing the contest forum. It goes a little like, "hey, whats this" *click* "wow"
Con:
- Not as much controll in presentation.
