Screenshot forum for Loco?
Evening all,
Just a thought, would it be feasible to create a screenshot forum for Locomotion, as in like OTTD's forum,
-OR-
Create a separate screenshot forum altogether for Loco, OTTD, etc etc...
Just a thought, thinking about the amount of screenshots we're currently getting, and the current rise in posts for the current Loco topic.
EDIT: and yes, I may be the one that suggests A LOT of possibly good things that backfire for the forums, but this seems like a keeper!

Re: Screenshot forum for Loco?
Well, we could allow Loco screenshots in the generic screenshot forum; but it's still under the "Transport Tycoon" category. I'm not sure what, if anything, could be done about that. This may nevertheless be the best strategy, with a sticky topic in the Loco forums pointing to it?
I don't think there is really enough demand for a dedicated Locomotion screenshot forum, though.

Re: Screenshot forum for Loco?
There is already a stickied topic in the Locomotion forums which isn't exactly inundated with heavy posting.

Re: Screenshot forum for Loco?
I have often wondered why there is no screenshot subforum for Locomotion.
While yes, there isn't much firm demand for it right now, I wonder if it would see a lot of traffic and posts if it existed.
If you build it, he will come!

Re: Screenshot forum for Loco?
Then i will suggest to rename:
http://www.tt-forums.net/viewforum.php?f=39
To "Locomotion Screenshots, Scenario`s and Savegames
And make a rule that people need to add:
[SCREENSHOTS]
[SCENARIO]
[SAVEGAME]
Before the names of there topics to keep it nice and tidy. (Just like in the modification section.)
And as far i see the whole Locomotion forum can be cleaned up by removing/merging some sections.
"Locomotion Beginners" can be merged with "Locomotion Problems, FAQs and Tutorials" and renamed to "Locomotion Problems, FAQs, Tutorial and Beginner Questions"
So it will look like:
General Locomotion (Not sure if still usefull)
Locomotion Problems, FAQs, Tutorial and Beginner Questions
Locomotion Screenshots, Scenarios and Saved Games
Locomotion Graphics, Modifications & Tools

Re: Screenshot forum for Loco?
Something like that could work - although I might just leave the Problems forum with its current title, as it would be rather long with "Beginner Questions" now. Besides, the game's been out long enough now that we probably don't have quite so many beginners any more.

Re: Screenshot forum for Loco?
Got to disagree with that thinking, Owen. TT is much older and people are still discovering it now.
Got one of my bus driver friends recently interested in OpenTTD after I told him about the game. He tried it to see if he could run a transport company better than his bosses. I think I got him hooked!

Re: Screenshot forum for Loco?
TBH, as a regular visitor of the TT Screenshot forum, I rather not have LoMo screenshots in the same forum; It's quite another game and it doesn't look as good as TT does nowadays. Though I guess when people would tag the topics with "[Locomotion]" or something in the titles, it'll do.orudge wrote:Well, we could allow Loco screenshots in the generic screenshot forum; but it's still under the "Transport Tycoon" category.

Or a subforum in the screenshot forum, though I'm not too happy with subforums in general

Re: Screenshot forum for Loco?
I'd argue that TT has a higher profile than Locomotion though, so we probably have relatively more people discovering TT than we do Locomotion. But that's just my uneducated guess, really!Railwaymodeler wrote:Got to disagree with that thinking, Owen. TT is much older and people are still discovering it now.
Re: Screenshot forum for Loco?
On the other side of the coin there is me though, I do occasionally visit the LoMo section to look at the screenshots and I am annoyed that it is just a single thread in those forums so I can't easily tell if there are new LoMo screenshots inside that section.Purno wrote:TBH, as a regular visitor of the TT Screenshot forum, I rather not have LoMo screenshots in the same forum; It's quite another game and it doesn't look as good as TT does nowadays.
