It makes mores sense as sub-forum to a game, e.g. OpenTTD. As player who just wants to post a few screenshots or share a scenario, I d not think of visiting a development section :-)

Not specifically because it has less posts, but because it is arguably less important. The OpenTTD forums are the busiest, and these days, OpenTTD is what people think of when they hear the words "Transport Tycoon". It makes sense to have those forums as easy to access as possible, I'd say.

You perhaps misunderstood me - I mean it'd be a section of its own, and that section would be positioned further down the forum index - possibly below the Graphics Development section, possibly above it.

Indeed I misunderstood, thanks for clearing that up :-)

The question which remains is then: what games are the posted screenshots, scenarios and savegames from? If it's, say >95%, OpenTTD, it could be moved to become a sub-section of OpenTTD, if the non-openttd content is significant one would leave it separate.

From inspection of the screenshot forum, the first page of active topics has only the infra-thread with somewhat recent ttdpatch screenshots. On the 2nd newest page all threads seem recently to feature OpenTTD screenshots, also the one prefixed 'TTDP'.
I didn't check too closely in the scenario forum, but my bets are on a similar ratio of OpenTTD vs. other content when looking at recent contributions.

Well, I would prefer they remain independent forums for now, I think.

I would actually like to see a LoMo subsection under the screenshots, scenarios and save games forum as that is the only part of LoMo that I'm still interested in. I occasionally visit the LoMo forums just to look at the screenshots and for me it would thus be easier if the screenshots for all the games are in one place :)

Hello orudge,
May I ask for one more small favor, I will not ask for anything more for the rest of the day (forum time) I swear. :mrgreen:

I just noticed that new post in the AI forum do not show up in the active topics list.
Would you? Could you? Yeah that small button over there ... Thank you even if you'd rather not. ;)

Hmm, it looks like that was nothing to do with it originally being a subforum, but more because I forgot to enable it in the first place. Sorry. :oops:

I suppose this had nothing to do with the outage we just had, is it?
Very much a retired regular poster..... If you can say that :mrgreen:
