Lately, we (the admins) have been debating on whether or not to completely do away with this forum and move detailed code updates back to the main page, or keep the current format being used.
Originally, our intent on moving detailed code updates to this forum was to prevent certain obnoxious people from stealing our updates -- Or at the very least, moderate those who have access to it.
Obviously, this did not work; those 'certain obnoxious people' registered multiple accounts through proxies, or had people they knew register accounts for them, thus evading being spotted when an admin checks in to an account before they activate it.
This eventually lead us to allowing unregistered users to view code updates again.
With all of that said, it really makes having this forum questionable;
we have the pros in keeping this forum: it brings in more people to the forum, you can comment on what's been updated, and you can browse through past updates (something the main site lacks).
And then the cons: it takes an extra click to get to the detailed code update information, it kind of makes the main page seem dead..
Anyway, I've chosen to let you guys decide on how the update format will be.
You can choose to keep the current format, or move back to the old format where detailed upates were on the main page.
Please do not hesitate on voting! You've only 'till 11/01/06 (the date this poll will close on) to vote!
Thanks.
