I don't have anything in particular in mind, it's just that those topics seem to have a good run at the start then get buried rather quickly, once they hit page 2 they're pretty much as good as dead. Having a forum specifically for those kinds of discussions would allow them to stay on the front page of topic listings much longer, and would probably help keep them more on topic. It could also be a place to post test/theme/concept screenshots and floorplan/concept drawings, and for people to ask abstract questions that usually just remain unanswered in the editing forums.

That is true, I think in general banter the other topics do outpost the more level design focused ones.

I always thought the level editing forums are too restrictive (allowing only questions, not discussions in general). Good idea, Snickers!

I agree wholeheartedly - a new forum, perhaps for overall game development discussion (as opposed to the gallery/help sections we have), would be a useful addition to the site. I think Gwil might be able to make that happen...

That sounds great, I have some more small ideas but I'll give htem another good think over before I post them, so you guys don't need to waste time on trying to find out how it all would work.

This is more of a suggestion about being open minded, more so than actually creating another forum:

I would like to see people post links to other engines and authors works. I mean, HL2 can do almost anything that the other big engines can and I feel that duplication is just about the most flattering aspect of level editing.

day gone by we all tried to recreate something that HL1 couldn't quite pull off, and no one seemed to get to worked up about it (except that time I got ripped for recreating that Q3 map by Dietz)

Anywho, I would like to see people openly express their desire to see another engines work recreated for HL2.

/Xmas wish list.

Or mapping for other engines entirely, a good place for that would be a General Level Design board. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/heee.gif">

Yeah, that's a pretty neat idea, but I guess like gwil said on irc, the whole forums might need a complete overhaul, so it might take some time and effort to make it all work.

I'm really curious about what is going on in the background right now? Are Gwil or others about to change the site's structure (or code)?

If/when there is another update for Snarkpit, I'd like to see the maps "chapters" removed.

Its annoying in its current form. I would either like to see them removed, or better, have it so that when you create a new chapter, you have the option of self locking the previous ones to prevent having posts scattered all over time.

To see a reply in a months old chapter, that was meant for a more recent chapter is yucky.

If only lep would fix the bug with Firefox Browsers. I don't care whether or not who is more standard-compliant, it just has to work ... 10 % of people browsing use FF, we might just be losing that 10% when it comes to posting.

<html><head><link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/standard.css" type="text/css"></head><body topmargin=2 leftmargin=2>I had nno problems using normal Firefox on this site, but I upgraded to Firefox 2 recently and now I get all this junk that precedes my message in the reply box. Also, all my text is black. I can't even see this as I type it. I hope it comes out rihgt.

Ok, yes, that was an intentional typo, I thought it would be funny. Funny haha.

Disable Javascript in your Snarkpit preferences and all will be fixed CCS <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Oh, sweet. I could tell it was probably a Java issue because when I installed Firefox 2 it said I had an incompatible Java Add-On and after 'Searching for Updates' (I use quotes because such activities by my computer rarely work), my computer basically gave me the finger.

I reckon you should make it that if the admins don't check a tutorial within 10 days, that it is automatically added. I'm getting anxious man.
