Splitting the Axe Parser sub-forum in half?

[DJ Omnimaga]

I have been wondering this for a while: As you can see, the Axe Parser sub-forum got very huge and since several topics are large, it can be hard to search anything. I think it would be good if all tutorials were stickied at the top of the sub-forum, but then the problem is that there would be too many stickied topic and it would be harder to get to the main updates topics. So I was wondering... should we split help topics from threads about Axe project itself and utilities?

Does help topics include questions asked by users?

[DJ Omnimaga]

Yeah, except the help asked inside the progress topics, but sadly not much could be done about that (although maybe a sub-forum might discourage asking help in those huge topics)

True.  I guess if it was like a sub-forum inside the axe sub-forum, that was pinned, then I would support the change.

I think it would be a good idea, since it's gotten so large. What about putting just the help topics under Calculator Programming and Support as another language?

[DJ Omnimaga]

Would it be fine if when you opened the Axe forum, it showed both sub-forums there in the list, like when you open the general calc help section?

[Deep Toaster]

That would work too IMO as long as they appear under "Child Boards:" under the main forum page. That way we could still get to them in one click.

I like the idea, its getting really hard to find things there.  and also, may I suggest starting a Axe Parser Thread #2?  its really hard to follow the thread and where you last left off.

I like the idea, although it could take time to apply the change.  Perhaps if you created the second board and asked staff to help move topics?

[Builderboy]

I agree with the idea, and also mirror Sir's sentiment, we could create the board and move them gradually (although maybe it would be best not to post a bazillion of those redirect topics?)

[SirCmpwn]

Well, we shouldn't post redirect topics at all, I think.  All I'm saying is that the entire staff would be more effective than one or two people at mass-moving posts.

[Builderboy]

Right

[DJ Omnimaga]

Yeah I would split the boards and put them as child boards, not put a sub-board inside the Axe one, so both appears as child boards on board index. First I would need to ask Quigibo, though (if he doesn't see this topic).

Eventually I was gonna move the Axe help topics in general calc help along with BASIC, ASM and C, but it would be too spread out. Maybe if I could find a mod so a child board can appear in multiple categories...

-Axe Parser updates, utilities and discussion
Discussion about the Axe Parser project and utilities to program in Axe.

-Axe sprite/map editors
To avoid cluttering the section above, we made one exclusively for Axe sprite editors.

-Axe Programming help & tutorials
Need help programming in Axe or have a good tutorial to share? This section is for you!

How does that sound like?

[yunhua98]

great!  although the sprite editor subforum should be merged with the Pixel Art subforum, IMO, or maybe as a child board of it.
