Hi Guys,
Yes...things are a bit quiet around here lately but traffic to our forums has been slowing down some even prior to changing over from the old to the new forums.
By the way, Luckyman, you are partially right. When the time had come to replace the old forums with a more modern equivalent that had not been patched, modified and jerry-rigged to remain secure over the years, there was some talk of doing away with them entirely. It was thought that there was too much old stuff in the forums and that the majority of posts were not relevant to our current releases. There is some truth to that as that there were many posts that only applied to version 1 or 2 of FrameForge. The decision was made to keep the forums for our users but not to migrate any post more than a specific age (which I don't recall off the top of my head at the moment). So we did migrate a lot of the existing posts but did not migrate other older posts. What I learned afterward was that it must have been a while since anyone had shared/posted a custom object, texture, decal, set or any other FrameForge item because none of those posts made the age requirement.
I did not just trash all of those items other users had posted over the years, though. I still have them and have been going through them in my free time. Some of these items are, frankly, of pretty poor quality and are being weeded out. Many of them have to be slightly optimized in order to work with modern version of FrameForge. Once Ive been able to go though everything and get them properly organized I plan to unleash them to the public on these forums again. Depending on how well I can organize them, I will probably make them available individually and in packs. So for instance if I come across a bunch of football related items, I'd put together a football pack of items as well as making them individually available. It is taking time but we think it will be worth it in the end.
I have a question as it turns out. What is a punter? I've heard the term used before and have a general understanding of it's usage but it would be nice to hear it from someone who uses the term. I could have looked up the meaning and probably should have by now but some things are better explained like this. Is it a term of endearment? Is it positive? Negative? I'm just curious is all.
