Title: [SUGGESTION] A new forum..

How about we split up the tutorial forum into two forums, one for actual tutorials and another for requests for tutorials.  That way if you want to browse tutorials you can goto there and not be fooled by topics that sound like it's a tutorial, when it's actually just a request.

and that will mean the tutorial forum will be almost empty...
you see the requests keep flying and instead of making tutorials (which is sort of pointless) they are being answered

there is enough room in this ... help forum, for the 3 tutorials in it and the questions and answers part , no need to split it Xx

I think the best would be to keep it in 1 forum where people first in subject of the topic type either REQUEST: if it is a request, or TUTORIAL: if it is a tutorial. Then followed by what the normally would say.
If some topics doesn't fit in either catagori they would be easily recognized.

Otherwise I think the idea proposed is good.

Reasons I think it would be a good idea to split it up into two:

1.) As it is now people are using the tutorial forum for general help requests, which should either go in troubleshooting or general discussion boards.

2.) Trying to find a tutorial in the tutorial forum (if it's not sticky) is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack.

3.) People who are knowledgable in RM would probably be more apt to write tutorials if they know people will be able to find them fairly easy.

4.) There's really no good reason that I can think of not to do this.

The idea of putting [REQUEST] or [TUTORIAL] in topic would be ok too.  I'm willing to moderate the tutorial forum... I'm online about 10 hours a day so could easily move topics that don't belong there to the right spots :P

:roll: but ppl, there are only 3 tutorials... think about it...

and anyways, when ppl ask questions they get answered within 2-3hours usually so even though it's a request it also becomes a non-sticky tutorial in a way...

so why the hell spliting them up?  :whoa:

Your wrong blueXX, there are more. For starters, there is my mapping tutorial, and my switches tutorial. Echo has a variable tutorial, the how to make an rpg tutorial and Zxmelee has 4 or 5. There are others, its just they die!
