Would it be too much to add computer projects/music showcase btw? Music discussion and computer hardware/news might be a tad too much, though.
THat said, if you look at the forum stats we average at like 5-8 new topics a day, so it shouldn't be that much of an issue I think (especially considering most Facebook users update their timeline every second)
Yeah I noticed lately that there weren't more news. I kinda slacked down myself but it seems like Critor stopped newsing entirely too.
I have two ideas:1. Instead of everything being focused on calculator development, why not have contests or more support for mobile or computer programmers?2. It would be neat if every member had their own subforum (or at least thread) where they could do whatever they please in there.

I kinda slacked down myself but it seems like Critor stopped newsing entirely too.It's simply that I have very little time as I'm back to work.Add to this that there hasn't been huge things for TI calculators lastly.I used to only crosspost huge news on Omnimaga - check TI-Planet: we haven't made huge news recently.
Before Ndless: barely anyone interested for the Nspire. Only one or two Nspire projects (such as gbc4nspire)Ndless 1.0 until OS 2.1 anti-downgrade: Sudden upsurge in Nspire programmers and activityNdless 2.1 anti downgrade: Public outcry, but people stick around hoping TI might still change their mindNdless 1.7 release: Even more of itOS 3.0 release, rumors about Ndless possibly never being possible on the CX: The start of decline in Nspire activityLua arrival: A new upsurge in Nspire coders, but C ones and overall activity remains on the declineOS 3.0.2 stronger anti-downgrade: Almost every Nspire C programmer and most Lua ones gives up, temporarily or permanently. Omnimaga barely get anymore new members asking for Nspire help. Ndless arrival on 3.0.1: Barely even generates any interest. Most project releases are from the very people contributing to Ndless developmentNdless arrival on 3.1: Same, but this time, there is a very long delay between Ndless 3.1 release and TI blocking it again. A small group of new projects appears, such as GBA emulationOS 3.2 release with the ability to downgrade back to 3.1: At this point you can notice a slight increase in Nspire projects, game-based that is. By now it seems that this time, TI has left a small door open for Ndless by allowing people to downgrade back to an Ndlessable OS and they took a while before blocking it again, unlike previous times where they just flat out released an OS patch (usually extremely buggy) immediately after most Ndless release.
