This section.. [continued]

[MrPinkPanther]

We have those "newbie" designers that attempt to help people, but we don't have those really good designers.. that can actually provide helpful and constructive criticism anymore.

You don't have to be an expert designer to give good C&C on a design, thats a stupid thing to say. Your average person using the wsite isnt going to be a webdesigner so I would say an average person is maybe even better. Its like saying you cant review a movie because you cant make one as good yourself.

There used to be constructive projects coming out of the forum too, TehUpload was just one project that originated here, along with quite a few I remember.

Nothing good is coming out of this forum anymore, which is why we need an overhaul.

What a cynical thing to say, many members develop projects, sometimes just in private. Why would them being on your forum make them more likely to create projects, I really dont get your point?

We're not going to get good mods, that's the end of the story there, it's proven.

They seem to be doing a pretty good job to me. Leaving us to get on with what we want but closing threads that get out of hand.

If you want, I can do some off site SEO for free for you.

If you are interested, let me know when to start.

The average person using a design and a development website is either going to be a programmer, or a designer, or someone interested in some form of designing.. not just coming in to "help their friend defend their design".

You don't seem to get it, private projects have nothing to do with this.

I'm talking about public projects, community projects, there used to be tons of projects being updated and talked about on here.

It's not like that anymore, we have one.. maybe two projects come out a year!

I'm not going to keep explaining it at the moment.

Blame moderators for this section sucking all you like, but I'm afraid it's the community's fault and so just moving it to a new domain won't help it.

You seemed to have tried it a while ago? Or was that a mistake you learned from?

Because it seemed back in Nov. you were planning on starting Devode back.

If only top contributors and great staff go there then it will help.

It's something I learnt obviously. Move the community to a new place and sure, it'll probably be active for a few weeks but then it'll just become the same place as it is on here now.

[Dentafrice]

But you also have to combine that with you being busier, and less active as time went on, although Oli stayed on, it's hard for one person to maintain a thriving and striving forum.

I just think there is more benefit trting to improve the community on this forum instead of trying to drag everyone somewhere else.

Maybe if you don't scare people away the minute they post they will stay and awaken forum #56?
