Wolfie Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Just was thinking about how the root feedback forum doesn't get a whole lot of activity and then I thought, maybe some people don't know to check it because it's not as "obvious" as the "IP.product" subforums. So thought I'd offer the idea to make the root feedback forum into a subforum, to help it get more attention and possibly improve feedback from members who get confused on where to post.
Management Charles Posted June 24, 2009 Management Posted June 24, 2009 Maybe we're perfect and no one has any feedback? Sounded good in my head :) Most feedback people have is about a specific product. The "company" is in service to the products so there is not much feedback there. Though, for example, our new web site I can assume will get topics here. Probably a lot if I had to guess.
bfarber Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 We have a bug tracker category for actual bugs on the website as well. I'd tend to guess more people find bugs than have actual "feedback" about the site that isn't bug-related.

Also, I know that the hosting includes IP.Board, but someone may have some feedback about the hosting that isn't IPB related. I'm just thinking it would make it easier for someone to find, that's all. I like to think that the feedback area tends to get more positive comments than negative anyway, because people are pleased with their products and for the most part, when there is an issue (support issue), those who complain are a usually bit worried that their issue isn't being worked on fast enough. Also, allows people to offer up their requests. :)
Management Charles Posted June 24, 2009 Management Posted June 24, 2009 We like feedback on things we're doing wrong because then we can fix it. Sometimes it's a matter of opinion what's right and wrong but it always helps in the end. We also like to know what we're doing right so we can keep doing it of course.

Sometimes it's a matter of opinion what's right and wrong but it always helps in the end. We also like to know what we're doing right so we can keep doing it of course. Well of course, every bit helps. What I meant was that from what I've seen in the recent past, it's been primarily positive feedback. I wasn't meaning that it's supposed to be only positive. Like this topic for example. Had a thought, offered it out as feedback. Just that with this, it's not anything positive or negative, it's just an idea. From the sounds of it, it's not an idea that you (as IPS) thinks is a feasible idea, but at least you read up on it because the forum is here for that. As for what you're doing right.. You're keeping Brandon (bfarber) employed. That's something right indeed. (Don't let him kid you with the "Working As Intended" bit on your bug reports...) ;)

Now he will be unbearable for days. :( Not trying to be a suck up, but back when bfarber was initially hired, I think I commented back then on what a great decision that was. I still remember when I would look for mods to install, I'd always have good experiences with his and any bugs were usually minor and fixed after an update. I can think of another modder that would spit out mods left and right, but then would have tons of bug reports for those mods and usually took several updates to get the mod into a proper stable release. bfarber has patience and knows how to put quality into the work he does without being arrogant about it. Thus why I made that comment. :)
bfarber Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Thank you for the positive comments. And contrary to what Charles suggested, I will not be unbearable for days.

bfarber Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I guess I should take that back. I'm likely *always* a little unbearable.
Management Matt Posted June 25, 2009 Management Posted June 25, 2009 I find you completely agreeable.
rbiss Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Can you help someone get started on how everything works? Is there any documentation, skinning guide etc?
bfarber Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 There's a lot of developer documentation on the resource site, and a few "tips" articles, but since I'm not much of a skinner I wasn't able to put much up regarding skinning. ;) I think Rikki is going to be working towards documentation/gdk/etc. next week. This week, as I'm sure you can understand, has been pretty busy.

Kfir Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Well I must say that I have just discovered this forum some days ago, though I'm over a year here. It's really hard to notice.
