What Can We Do?

[Se7eN]

I would like to think that our community has grown to the point where there is a thread or post that will answer most of the questions you could have about scar or pascal, or even a multitude of other topics. however it seems like more and more people come here and complain about not being able to find what they are looking for. or complain that scar is too confusing for them to figure out. Now this bothers me a bit as i know that quite a few people myself included have put forth quite a bit of effort to stem this flow of ignorance or lack of available  information if you will. things like tgwgo's scripting tuts as well as my (unfinished lol) guide to become a millionaire. other than the prominent tutorials i have answered countless questions and solved more compiler errors than i like to think about. i know this also goes for people like sorry if i spell your name wrong I'm going from memory here ) tgwgo, king of knives, janniblo, freddy, and quite a few others sorry if i left you out. and i just want to pick people's brains to see if we can figure anything out that might help fix this growing problem. to me it seemed that stickies used to work because you would look for the category you wanted then to start out you stuck to the stickies as you counted on them to contain good detailed information. however it seems that people are now becoming either too lazy or to ignorant to be bothered with looking of the categories they want. so while i hate to dump more work on freddy's back with redesigning the site yet again we could have a most popular threads bar containing pertinent info on scar and scar scripting. along with info on srl. and on a completly different thought freddy have you ever thought about letting someone help you with site layout and design? i know you made tgwgo a global but i'm not sure if has permissions to change anything on that level. if not perhaps try considering it. there are plenty of people here who are more than likely quite educated on the matter (i am not one of those people lol). so mabye recruit some help. just a thought. at any rate i have a bus to catch so i gotta jump outta the starbucks i am sitting in i'll update this post latter but for the moment think about what i said something needs to be done so we have less uneducated people swarming the site.

As far as the millionaire guide, I made 15 million in 23 hours [over 3 days] after I became a member.

Thanks for mentioning me, Se7eN.

Yes, one big GREAT sticky with answers to all the simple questions about SCAR and SRL would be damn great.

I support, but sadly I can't program any webdesign at all. My current programming skills are all in SCAR.

I think a category and a board with the name "If you are new go here" should do it...Maybe just a few posts by some trusted members answering 99.9% of the questions.

I would like to point out the fact that a lot of errors are not being posted anymore because of some stickies. It would help thought if something were done.

I agree with this idea, to a degree...
alot of the new members who ignore the stickies would be to ignorant, and would not go near that section anyways. that's why I also disagree with you. though it's a good idea and I do like it.

Then make it so they have to read it and post on it until they can see anything else.

[DaBomber]

sounds good to me

I think if more people agree I think I'll suggest it to Freddy because I don't have enough power to do that .

Offtopic: LMAO I love your signature!!!

[DaBomber]

dude so do I! lol
It was sent to me as a joke some time ago.

Well one thing that got me was filling out it and typing the info, never the less I looked at some threads and found out how to do it, I never did make a thread. Most kids dont have the patients(think i spelled right lol) and thats why you get so many threads about how do i do this??? ect.

edit: I'm out peace out and good day.

Then make it so they have to read it and post on it until they can see anything else.

it will make the thread a spam thread. And people will post "how do i get scripts!!?"

maybe something like what moparisthebest does. except have links to stickies on that page labels like downloading srl, fixing errors, etc. And a ok button at the bottom to skip to homepage

EDIT: and you can make that show up automatically until they've spent a total of like 5 hours logged in. after that they can choose whether to make it go up

[DaBomber]

and can you post a link on where to download it? and is it for smf 1.1.3?

[Dan Cardin]

download what...?

the thing i suggested?

didnt think it was a download type deal, more of a php writing kind of thing

[DaBomber]

huh... seems like it would be alot of work considerding freddy has scar 3.14 coming out [it's being delayed by bugs] and i don't know how to do it myself [don't have anything to write it in...] so do you plan on helping? or getting someone to write it?

[Dan Cardin]

well the page would be easy im guessing...just like adding a new forum. the only part i could see being hard to do is making it redirect them when they have less than so many hours logged in.
