Oolite Bulletins

Anytime I have a scripting or even "how to solve this mission" player question, I ask myself: Where put it? Expansions Forum? Discussion Forum?

I suggest a Questions Forum so that this has its place, I predict something like that would be well used and not only by me.

If it's about scripting new OXPs or questions concerning existing OXPs, the Expansion Pack-forum seems fine to me.

I'm not opposed to adding another forum as such. But I'm a little afraid that it would probably increase the confusion more than anything else. Even now quite a number of threads are started in the Discussion-forum, which really would belong someplace else. And I think that is where newbies will tend to ask their questions in the future as well.

Well, that`s just what I mean. I find it a bit confusing too. OK, agree with you on oxp scripting questions into the expansions forum. But general mission or scripting questions of the kind "how do I ..." actually aren`t obviously a "discussion" ...

Well, it`s just a suggestion of mine, would find that more to the point, personally.

I agree with that. My concern is just that people wouldn't use it anyway (like nowadays they don't use the existing forums, but post everything in Discussion).
