Post what's on your mind about the Rec Room

What are your thoughts on an "Extending RPG Maker" section, within the RPG Maker section? There are a bunch of projects in the Programming boards, more than enough to fill a board, that would fit this genre, but that don't really get much exposure as they're hidden away. Things like custom game.exes, utilities for managing the database, etc.
In all honesty, I feel like there are too many forums for that, considering the amount of activity they get. My suggestion for re-structuring it would be this:

RPG Maker Support - the main forum would include everything from the support and tutorials subforum (which is how it used to be at one point, I think)
-- Scripts (including requests and support)
-- Extensions

Or, if you want to pull the topics for the front page, you could do this:

RPG Maker Support - including support, script support, and script requests (maybe tutorials instead of it being its own subforum?)
-- Tutorials
-- Scripts
-- Extensions

So, in response to your question, I feel that it should be more included in the RPG Maker boards, but I feel like adding another subforum without re-structuring it will get these things just as overlooked at they are now. :P Those are my suggestions. :3
 
I plan to move anything from the artwork forums that is explicitly mentioned to be a resource for public use (and not a development thread) (and thus from the old resources forum) into the resource boards.

Does anybody have a problem with this? I fully understand it is dodgy ground.
 
Hmm. What if any post made in pwoym that would be better suited elsewhere (art, games, etc.) was split and replaced with a message, until people got the point?
 
You could do that, although it might get a little tedious. I'm not sure how other people would feel about their posts being moved around. *shrug*
