Slayr Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I was thinking that a board devoted to web devlopment, or maybe even programming, could inspire many Tipiters to pick this up. It would be a good place to learn and ask question. Maybe there could even be a web design/ functionality contest. I'm thinking it could be a subforum of Tech and Computers What do you guys think?

pryomancer Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 There aren't that many topics about web development. Usually the policy for making a new forum/subforum is that there is a call for it, and lots of posts that would be better suited there. Tech&PC is fine for now, if we made a new subforum there it would be desolate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsavi Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I have actually been thinking about this the last few days, but Pryo already explained why it wouldn't work. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryomancer Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I like the idea of a web development forum, but realistically how many tip.it'ers (who mainly play runescape) are going to know the slightest thing about coding and developing?

dsavi Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 *Raises hand* I'm working on a php script right now. And I know of several others around here that do web design. And also, you can't leave the fact unmentioned that not many people active in discussion (If at all) on T&C because it hardly ever has anything else than help threads. I admit to contributing to that, but it saved my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryomancer Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 There are people (me included) who are into coding and scripting etc, but really that's just a very small selection of people. The forum really wouldn't be active enough, and that's the main reason it won't get a subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errdoth Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Well mebbe make it a bit clearer that those kind of threads are allowed in there? A lot of it is just " OMG! Why is x not working!" and it's not really inviting for people to post something other than a 'help' thread..

(Personally, I'd love a place to show off my awesomeness :P ) Exactly. #1 reason why we don't have threads discussing, or trying to solve web development issues, or even web development 'useful' tricks' or 'did you know...' topics because people don't think Tech & Computers is for discussing computers, or web development. Honestly, I'd love to see a better name and forum description given for the category, prompting users to wanting to post such information. Like 'Technology Discussion' would be 2x better than 'Tech & Computers' to get the topics we're wanting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like 'Technology Discussion' would be 2x better than 'Tech & Computers' to get the topics we're wanting. People who would be into coding/development/etc would surely know of the T&C board I would have thought, and therefore know that, that type of discussion is welcome there. But I'm all up for making it more inviting. I honestly don't think changing the name slightly will change things much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I suggested changing the description earlier, but the admins seemed to think that it was just a lack of things to discuss or something. Bring on "Project Tech and Computers: Bring back the discussion". :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
