I remember back when i wasn`t in the DevForum like a year ago i was desperated to share my new discoveries on how to do new stuff in the building and 3d Modeling methods, but i had no place to go other than the DevForum so applying was a really stresfull process just waiting months until you get a reply, and i know that there are so many devs out there wanting to do the same and now that they can post in the forum without all the mess of waiting process they will be really helpful.
But the forum somehow needs to get a lot more organized, it is really exhausting to look at new posts nowadays and making a difference of those trying to share useful stuff and those who try to troll or simple posts for simple questions which some of the most experienced devs can reply to (Which deserve a subforum so it doesnt interfer with important Posts)
Thats why i suggest a re-do to the devforum website something like what POLYCOUNT https://polycount.com/ and ARTSTATION https://www.artstation.com/ Do, it would be a lot easier to flag the bad posts and take a look at the really interesting posts from the most skilled devs.
Basically what i suggest is to try to make the website design a lot more like Polycount or Artstation (I feel like Polycount would be the best example).
ArtStation basically just shows Skilled Devs work first, or this case, Members+. So rather than showing latest first on the list on the thread it would be members+ posts
What specific features do you want from those websites? Do you want more sorting options, or do you want more image based posts?
I doubt Roblox would redesign the entire website considering they didn’t actually design it, but perhaps they would consider adding new forum features if you showed some measurements of what they’d have to gain. Perhaps this forum even has plugin support to reduce the initial costs?
I don’t really think making posts picture oriented would be a great idea considering only half of the ranges of development involve images when there’s stuff like scripting, composing, etc, I don’t see how those would play into the image oriented posts (i might have missed the point lol)
Is it really fair to let a moderate to decide what’ll be interesting for the entire community? Wouldn’t that be more along the lines of personal preference?
I dont think it would be that way, an image oriented posts would make it easier to spot trollers or bots, but the preferences would still be up to all, it would be a lot more than just image oriented posts tbh, like tags for each preference and a lot more of things but i dont really think their are gonna go as far as making another web page for a forum (Considering they arent using their own website but another company forum services)
