Title: Maybe we can learn from this.
Post by: Aero88 on June 08, 2011, 11:38:49 pm: So I was over at MFGG and ran across this topic in which someone was looking for a Zelda Fan Game site. This obviously peaked my interest as I am a part of this Zelda fan game site. Some people actually posted a link to ZFGC but he was ultimately discouraged from coming here primarily because there was no search feature for our resources. I feel a little silly bringing this up because don't do any programming other than GM, but perhaps what we need to bring in more people is simply to modernize the site with features such as the search feature. Is it worth it? Maybe.... maybe not. What do you guys think.

The problem with the latter idea is that no one gives a !@#$% or cares to pitch in - there's a difference between saying something would be good and actually taking steps to and then doing something good.

I'd be willing to jump in and work on it, but the benefits of me doing so are outweighed by the fact that my time is better spent working on college and game projects for my portfolio. Also, my use of IP.Board and RoR have created a dislike for SMF and PHP, respectively. >.>

From the same topic:

zfgc is horribly disorganized to me for resources. you need to sift through the entire collection of sprites to find stuff, theres no filters and stuff like we have on mfgg. :/
