There are lots of people who use black and are huge fans. For the sake of good order would it be better to have its own forums even for each release to have their own forums?

That way instead of having a single thread with 750ish posts to read, it could be ordered nicely with a seperate thread for bug posts, feature requests, compliments, etc.

used to hear about leaving the moderation to the moderators.. does it need to be spelled out that we ought to leave the administration to the admin/s?

..bro..if u have a suggestion..why not forward a PM to the admin/mod.. but then again, it's a free world ;) ..my 2cents worth..

So much love in this thread...

I think it's a good idea. Actually all the production WM6 ROMs could have their own subforums. It would be a lot easier for everyone to find the information they need. Afterall, that's what subforums are for right?

Don't pay attention to the guys above this post...
They're just upset they didn't think of this simple solution first.

(No cookie for you! :D)

A: yes it might be a good idea.
b: even if you lay out a trail of bananas the dumb monkey wont find the tree.
c: im amazed at how folks post issues about roms outside of their threads.
d: there is still going to be users posting romA issues in romB forum:eek:
e: CHICKEN IN A BUCKET....

The forum would be much less cluttered if:

a. Unnecessary, irrelevant, duplicated and erroneous posts could be deleted. Happens in other forums to good effect.

b. Posts could be moved to a more appropriate thread. Again, happens in other forums.

c. Flamers would have the balls to PM noobs directly rather than seeking brown-nose points by more than doubling the noob's effect on already burgeoning threads by posting their own replies in addition to the OP's.

d. Everyone use sigs of 1 line or less. This IS a PDA / Smartphone forum!

Apart from that, I think that a more 'user friendly' dynamic Wiki-type sub forum for things like JJ's WM6 would be a good thing, with separate threads for bug reports, congrats, moans and spin-off topics.

This is just retarded, I don't see Faria on the Wizard side with his own forum, and plus what about LVSW...both also quality chefs.

All you're doin is creating more useless posts to thumb through.

Did you even stop and look how much useful stuff is linked in peoples signatures..etc, and hey what a coincidence..its usually pda/smartphone related, plus it helps when ppl ask questions needing help, and they don't include their device info.

wow, pretty nifty huh?

And yes, I do have thumbs..they are even opposable.

Yes! it by all means should. ;)

And in order to post in it, one has to past a test that shows they have read the wiki. ;)

By the way - I didn't vote :)
I see the concern, I just don't see any effective solution.

As of this post there are over 800 replies in the ProBlack3.0.1 post. 800. That's a lot of crap to churn through. Any more efficent form of organization is welcome imo.

That's my point exactly. All production ROMs should have their own subforums.

Also, side note... being a vBulletin admin, I know the capabilities of these forums. It wouldn't be too difficult to have the chef moderate his own subforum (or let them appoint their own moderator(s)).

I think it's funny that a very good suggestion is pissing so many people off. If you don't like the idea, just vote no... don't light your panties on fire in protest. :D
Keep in mind this is just a "Poll" to see what people think.

Long live JJ and Black! (and other hard working chefs and ROMs)

Yep, all very useful info that could be shrunk down to 1 line or... hmmm.. I dunno, maybe put into the user's profile, rather than repeated ad nauseum throughout every thread?

I'm not moaning about the info, just the way its put forward. I have a sig in another forum which lists 10 items in my HTPC setup... in 1 line. It is a (IMHO) genuine point that the one forum that I use most for my PDA, is the least readable one on my PDA.

But anyhoo, anough about item d on my list. Actually, having re-read the original post, I reckon if there was a more hands-on moderation process on the forum, i.e. points a and b, then we wouldn't need a sub forum at all.

Congrats on the thumbs, BTW.

That's a good point. What this forum needs is strict moderation. Jees, even my last couple of posts would have been binned... followed by a 'friendly' warning from the mod... on other forums.

Don't think that we need to be overly concerned about the fairness to 'other' chefs, though. I'm sure they will step up to the oche.. plate, or whatever, and do their own stuff.
