Forum ‹ Feedback ‹ Is the playerIO community dead?

[TyroneBiggums]

Looking around the forums I see that a lot of time go's by between new threads. Is there an active community?

[TyroneBiggums]

I just realized that the last news update was two years ago... Do they not update this anymore? Also the tutorial is outdated...Am I speaking to no one?

[dreamora]

Its definitely not dead
But potentially its not the most talkative (-> time wasting) community, more one of the productive sort

They are still update the API they just don't post it on the forums when they do. Something I think they should do

Including changelogs especially yes

Absolutely not dead, just not super great at communicating!

We are however trying to get better!

[TyroneBiggums]

Good. I was worried that this was not supported anymore. Still they should give updates in the news section. It threw me off seeing that big of a gap between posts.

Check the blog instead for updates:

I would update the "News and Updates" category in the forum whenever I make a new release if I were you guys. I think that's usually one of the first things a new person sees. So they will incorrectly think that no updates have been made since 2010

Fair point

How about some changes that could induce communication and enhance the feeling of life around?

For example, how about redirecting the New And Updates forum to the Blog? That way the project updates don't seem so old.

Also, any Forum that has less than about ten (10) threads, should be considered redundant. Such topics should be discussed in a combined or "general" forum under their own heading. E.g.: AS 1.0/2.0, Unity forums, VB .NET & Other Serverside, and All of Graphics (for Collaboration a subtitle would suffice to encourage such enquirers). Lastly, "ETC, ETC" could be turned into one "General Discussion" forum with its' own Feedback sub-forum that is visible from the forum's main page

Also, I've been noticing a very awkward graphical bug (latest chrome browser) in the admin panels, that Buttons have a horizontal scroll bar. Easily fixed with a css edit in the like of:
buttonclass {
Overflow: visible; // Visible, so that buttons are never clipped, even when columns may look fugly.
}

If you are lacking a web master, then I offer myself *freelancer*

P.S. If the IRC channel is active, then a "Chat" link in the top menu of the website, and a simple irc chat script page, would do well for bastards like me who dislike having an irc client open all the time

I do apologize for being a blabber writer. hahaha
