NKS Requests

But… we have a new place for general discussion!
Fresh, and without the 1900+ old comments (which most of them are "thanks", "ok", "good to know" etc. etc or leftovers from things that are already reposted in the new categories)

This one:

At least 99% of all the valuable info has been separated and rebuild to 122 new discussions,
guides and manuals, resources, repositories etc. have their own discussion like everything else…

The only thing that it might be missing is, perhaps, a tech discussion, with all our findings, codes, tricks, scripts, but this is easy to be made…

Besides that, the whole idea, started because the old thread has become huge and unpractical… many comments, links and info where practically lost because they had no titles, no tags, nothing, just a link, so they didn't even appear on search.

Don't you think that is frustrating to have to navigate in 130 pages to find something?

It was part of the original plan that the old thread should be closed after our work was complete, thus it is closed since the work is done (maybe there are few remaining relics but they will be found eventually…)

So, I really see absolutely no point to re-open it and this was the will of the forum admins too, since the beginning. But hey, lets discuss it. It is not something that can't be undone! :-)

But, in this case (if we decide to re-open it and admins agree) i will heavily insist that not post any link there. Each plugin/developer has to be in its own page! Easy to be found, practical and meaningful. With order, harmony and grace. Even if there is no thread available, eh, make one. And even better, make it nice, both aesthetic and practical. Put some photo, some link to the product, even some info. I really, really dislike plain links…

So… lets talk (with serious arguments, not nostalgia) why exactly do you want the old thread re-open? 🙂

I never saw my ‘Welcome to…’ post as the start of a discussion thread. What I did suggest was just changing the old ‘NKS User Library’ thread to ‘NKS User Library - discussion’ that way we keep the old thread with all its history alive while retaining the advantage of seperate content threads for improved search ability

And yeah it should be possible to sort them better, maybe we need an index sticky?

Fine with a no content links in the discussion thread rule

Fairly good points, i agree!
Though that the "entirely link posting" is done now, so we can start talk again, as a community.
I really like your alphabetical idea too but i am not sure if Vanilla forums have such option (it is not up to NI). We can ask @Kaiwan_NI though, if this is something that can be done.

Right now, there are 5 different types of showing the threads:

However, there is no digging! Just use Search. Because now every thread has a title and tags, if you write "GForce NKS" or "U-he NKS" or "Roland NKS" etc. then, the very first link that appears is the one you want. A lot much faster than searching 124 threads in 7 pages. ;-)

I also agree. So:

1- We could close the 'Welcome to the Official…" thread, since it is just that, a Welcome announcement, so no further comments can be post there.

2- Then, we can re-open the old discussion and rename it to "NKS Generic Discussion" or something similar (i think is best to avoid "user library" again, as the title already exists now, but mostly because we always had a much wider spectrum of conversation) and we continue as before, just posting the final links in their appropriate pages.

I am fine with that and with all your suggestions, i'd like however to read some more opinions by other members too and if the admins agree as well, we can do it instantly!

I suggest NKS Development Discussion Thread
