Reply to this thread with useful threads/posts which you think should be moved to this forum. Last reply to the thread must be a month or more old.

I know this is off topic for this thread, but I have some ideas for the reference and thought this would be the best forum to discuss them.

I was thinking the reference forum could be organized by category. Separate threads could be created for those different categories such as Packet Information, Source Code, Feature Discussions, etc…

One problem I see with just linking to the references is that over time they will get deleted when the database gets to big and starts removing the oldest threads. Maybe they could be moved directly to this forum to help prevent loss of information?

Another problem is that a lot of the threads I listed have good information in them, but they also contain a lot of unhelpful information as well. I personally think cleaning them up would a good idea, but it would require a lot of work.

These are just some of my ideas. I know that they would require a lot of work on the part of a moderator, so if a decision is reached on how this forum will operate, I would be willing to take on the task if nobody else would like to.

Sorry if any were repeats, I got tired and stopped checking. :P

Edit: By the time I finished (took a while but I also was talking on bnet) UserLoser posted and Tuberload edited his post again. Hopefully there aren't too many repeats now. This is ordered from oldest to newest.

Nicely done Tuberload. I think we'll slowly move threads over here and fabricate them as we add to keep things better organized. For now, this thread can be used as a reference until useful threads are moved over here and patched up.

Yup. I'm blowing my own horn.

That's a lot of threads to fabricate and move. Any suggestions?

I'll do it. :)

My idea was to move all of the reference content here and clean it up. Then create a reference index, sort of like what you already have, and link it to the content. Would require a lot of work, but I think that would be the best route to go if you wanted them to remain clean and preserved.

I'll move the threads you listed here for you, and you can clean them up / lock them, and maintain the reference link list (in this thread).

Moves done.

Have fun!

Yes, I am now trying to figure out what I got myself into. :) It should be done shortly.

You can unlock them if you want to bother with moderating replies. Some people may want to add on.

If anyone wants to add something to any of the reference material just IM me and I will unlock it for you. I don't feel like trying to keep up on what is being added.
