Introduction: Several people have commented on the "secular" part of this forum "Going downhill". I agree with them.. some aspects of this forum have gone downhill. Proposal: If you think that i'm trying to take leadership of this forum, I'm not, I just have an idea. (And for that matter, I'm starting a Python discussion right after I click the "Submit New Topic" button). What do you think? ------------------ [This message has been edited by CPUFreak91 (edited April 24, 2006).] |

Possibly a "fun" section for spam, etc, while general discussions stays serious. But, the "fun" section wouldn't show up on the recent topics sidebar. ------------------ |

Bravo, both to CPU and firemaker. CPU for his honest, concise and humble opinion, and firemaker for his excellent solution to the problem.....now where's an admin to make it happen?  ------------------ "I am very good at hiding, so if you don't see me, that's where I am."

Benny: Yes, it runs on Linux. CPU just started a mailing list for Bible Dave yesterday -- he's been working on levels and trying to get through the last "push" to get Bible Dave finished. Jari and I are with him on that, but I don't think either of us have taken much time for Bible Dave lately. The in-game level editor works really well, and there's already one tutorial on how to do level editing that I wrote -- I can do more on that if need be. The main thing we need right now is levels -- we've got enough AI to make fairly complex and interesting levels (there's at least one challenging touchplate puzzle that was scripted into a level). It's a really powerful game engine that we've worked to set up -- the time consuming part right now is writing levels and polishing them to create enough gameplay. As always, we're looking for help to finish up this community project -- I know I'm anxious to see another one start, I would like to see BD get to 1.0 too though. Cheers! --clint |

I was thinking... how about we have the BD game engine as a separate SF.net project? That way we can work on imroving the game engine without messing with the game itself (Our project has the ability to create a subproject and we can create a new cvs (or better yet a svn) repository to hold it. It will make maintaining a bit easier. ------------------ [This message has been edited by CPUFreak91 (edited April 25, 2006).] |

I was thinking, for another community project after Bible Dave is done what about a 3D chat room? Nothing fancy, just a simple chat interface with 3D avatars and some stuff to hang out around (kitchen, living room, or however we wished to design it). Then, to make things really interesting, what about allowing some of the more 3D focused dudes on here to make their own avatars, provided they keep the animations limited and to a certain number of frames and actions (walking, waving, ect.) It would make for a very interesting thing in my opinion, and if we really wanted to get fancy we could add voicechat and possibly even a TV in the main room capable of showing live video feeds  . ------------------ "I am very good at hiding, so if you don't see me, that's where I am."

A fun forum would be good, it could have a sticky of the spam thread. (Assuming UBB has sticky threads) An operating system discussion and help forum would also be good. And a sticky thread in Announcements or General Discussions for Introducing Yourself might be nice. ------------------ |

I have started to notice that this forum is going downhill because of the spam... People serious about posting serious stuff then are sometimes unable to post. I know it does get fixed up. But hey, why even need spam?? It is frowned upon by most forums, several even ban users who spam. I don't understand what you meant by "Could we keep the OS topics .. out of the forum"... How could you not talk about OS topics when your programming!? Lol!! I would like to see this forum as more a a Christian Coders Network, ATM it's more like a 'SpamCan'... Spam, there is no need for it... ------------------ |

buddboy Member Posts: 2220 From: New Albany, Indiana, U.S. Registered: 10-08-2004 |
yah, spam... it does get annoying, which is why i've been working on curbing it. this place used to be just sort of an outlet for me, now i've found other ways. NO OS TOPICS?! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?! lol... it's not just coding, says so in the about page... plus those topics are pretty much almost all the computer stuff here. that and people posting updates on their games. ------------------ RADIOACTIVE IE AHEAD! int name() |

If you guys want us (Admins) to crack down hard on spam then we can. I check this site multiple times a day and I can toast any topics or users that would be considered spam. The only problem is that sometimes the people posting the spam may not consider it spam. |

Could always make a totaly different forum on a totaly different server for the spam-like stuff. I think <some of> its kinda fun actualy. If youve been watching the Girls topic though, youll notice its actualy attracting people to the site ------------------ |

The topics are really boring (to me)! why don't you start a subject about Lord of the Rings? Me and my brother sword fight... Let's start a sword fighting section! ------------------ |

Welcome to CCN! Well we have talked alot about swords in the Girls thread, so you can post in there about swords for starters ------------------ |

Where is the girl thread? Why are the girls talking about swords and not the boys??? ------------------ |

Ereon Member Posts: 1018 From: Ohio, United States Registered: 04-12-2005 |
It's a loooooong story MiB. We only have one girl on here (Er, make that 2 now ) but um......yeah......long story.....anyhoo....moving on. ------------------ Of course God knew what would happen if they used their freedom the wrong way: apparently He thought it worth the risk.

Lol, actually the thread was made by guys, about girls, but it is now our general spam topic, so we have went over many subjects over it's 30+ page span, straying away from the subject of girls, so swords, guns and many others things have been talked about since the thread creation, lol. ------------------ |

Uh, I am not a girl! we go to a nursing home every week, and, because my voice has not broken yet (I just turned ---(should I tell you?)) almost half the elderly call me a girl!!!!
