GDT and Testbed forum sections

[Chompy]

Forum sections for the GDT and Testbed.

Thoughts?

The GDT is currently holding a private forum section, but I guess a public forum section for it would maybe have an use.
Not sure about the Testbed section to be honest, considering those forums already have all kind of sections to help anyone (graphics, levels, etc..)

I agree with GDT but what would a testbed forum section be used for?

[fowlplay4]

Testbed could have a link to a thread of information like Era does with it's Wiki under it's sub-forum.

I'm of course talking about public forum sections.

If there was public sections for both of them, it would be much easier and organized to release news and information. The testbed section would of course be aimed at questions about testbed in general, suggestions, information and etc. GDT section could for example include threads like http://forums.graalonline.com/forums....php?p=1559501 and such

Well I agree for the GDT public section but less for Testbed.
If people see an use then I'm all for it.

As the Testbed is primarily for scripting, all that should be done is this:
Get rid of useless stickies in NPC Scripting, and have these two: "Advice" and "Test Your GS2 Here"

Where the second one would just provide instructions to testbed etc.

I'd rather see something like this for Testbed, as Jerret stated:

A well documented wiki-article with all the information needed, and also a link as stated above (:

Agreed.

I think that we should find somewhere in the existing forums. There are already very many forums. Maybe GDT things can go in the PWA forums because isn't the GDT an extension of the PWA?

A subforum in the PWA section sounds fine.
And yes, the GDT is a subdivision/extension of the PWA.

Except that the PWA forums are not accessible to everyone, hence the GDT forums would also not be open to the public.

This is open to the public isn't it?

That's the PWA tryout forum...

one of the functions of the GDT is, "Helping those who need it. That means being in the front line when people need your help." so as nice as IRC is and all, a public forum where people could request help would be nice
