Projects has Been Reopened! See This Post for Details
Its been a rough road but we are finally to the point where we can reopen the Projects category!
The New Mods!
Before I go to far into it, I would like to welcome our new mods @Skinny_Guy, @Pork_Soda, and @zdeerzzz! Along with @HeftyTotem who is our new deputy mod will be helping our head mod @Krodmandoon with moderation of the site.
I am very grateful for their help and I hope you all will give them a warm welcome!
The New Rules Now Go Into Effect
If you haven’t read our rules rework topic our new rules will be going into effect as of today. With this you will see some new flags in the system that align better with our new rules as well as updating our old faq page to redirect users to the new rules page.
We are still feeling some of these changes out though and may make small modifications through April depending on feedback and how we see things shaping out.
Now Open for Restoring Projects Moved to Archive
For any devs who have had their project sent to Archive during the cleanup please reach out to me or @Krodmandoon and we will work with you on getting your project restored. We will be trying to restore some projects we believe got sent to Archive by mistake.
New Projects Now Require Review & Approval
For devs looking to create a new project, please keep in mind all new posts created in the Projects category will now need to go through a manual review and approval process. We expect things to be a bit rough and slow for the first few weeks as we work the kinks out of the system so please bear with us if we are a bit slow getting to your project.
Whats Next?
While Projects is now reopened we do still have some minor changes that still need to be done. I still need to break General Games > Mods out into its own category, finish some of the tagging stuff for Table Top Games and Game Design Discussion will be getting merged in with Dev Advice.
Also, I need to begin reviewing some of the applications we have received for wiki mod. So if you filled out our form for that expect me to reach out to you this coming month.
Then finally I plan on making one final post near the end of April to wrap this all up where I am going to try to go into my plans on how I am going to try to deal with my burn out, where I would like to refocus my efforts, as well as some plans on some changes around the patreon that will hopefully help keep everything funded a bit better without having to beg the community for money periodically.
For right now though I am going to be focusing on getting the mod team up to speed and the Projects category opened up.
Also, while I would usually say feel free to ask any question and voice any feedback below, @HeftyTotem made the Let Us Know! Community Outreach Hub for New Rules/Site Changes topic to try to help us keep track of everything so nothing gets lost. So if you do have any questions or feedback please give it there.
