It seems there's a reasonable amount of support for this. I'll put it on my todo list. ;)

This sounds like something I could really use. I'm all for it.

I may have a bit of time over the next fortnight to tidy up some of the stickies and clutter in the LoMo sections, I know some of the links lead to dead-ends and need updating.

I suggest also that we have a system were topics that are over 3 years old be automaticaly locked. A new member just bumped a 5 year dead topic to argue with a member who only had 2 post that where both in that topic to say to read a post which was writen a year after the post he was talking about was writen.

A quicker responds would be a better idea. We dont have to do some "weird" actions because we have people who dont use there grey/red/black brains. (If there is any). More a Zero Tolerance approach should be in order. (Official warning after bumping a topic, without any usefull information.)

It's been dealt with. Remember, I can't be on the forums every minute of every day.

So, would we be happy with:

- General Locomotion
- Locomotion Knowledge Base & Beginner Questions
- Locomotion Scenarios and Saved Games
- Locomotion Graphics, Modifications & Tools
-- Released Objects

I'd rather not create separate subforums for Screenshots, Saved Games, Scenarios, etc, as somebody suggested before.

This would make me happy and that says a lot :P, but can you also respond on the released objects part or not? If not that makes it easier to find stuff + updates, people bumping the topics with silly questions isnt fun. That should be in the modifications section.

A "Released Objects" subforum is included there, yes. I'm not so sure about having all the topics be locked though - at least in the normal "Graphics Releases" forum, the intention of it is that discussion related to that object goes on there.

Lies, all lies! I've not had much spare time at all, so something on the "to do" list still.

I've tidied up a few bits. I've made some new stickies with links to old stickies inside. So far 3 new stickied topics replacing about 8 old ones. Bit tidier but still more to do.
