FE devs - want a help board?
<< < (2/3) > >>
TalkingOctopus:
I like that FE questions are addressed here.  I have learned alot about MAMEWAH by reading the questions and answers.  For example, I never realized that MAMEWAH had such great filtering until I read about it in here.  The software that runs the MAME cab is a vital part of the arcade that you build.  I think that its discussion belongs here.

Sirp I've gotta agree with the peanut galery here.  90% of the software board is fe related questions.  It would die without these threads.  

Besides do you think anyone would actually listen and use them instead of this board?  A mamewah board was recently setup on mameworld in hopes that it woudl diminish the amount of posts here.  They seem to have increased since then. ;)


**edit**

I think the main flood of questions is the fact that people ask really really dumb questions.  For example 90% of these "getting mamewha to do xxx" questions are answered in the mamewah docs.  But instead of telling people that, other posters simply "give them the fish" and answer the question.  RTFM might not be the most polite way to answer a question, but sometimes it really is the most appropriate answer.

HC, you must be losing your bite, Since when are you hesitant to tell someone to shut up and RTFM?

I think some of you guys may be missing the point...

I think SP is talking about a FE Programming forum. If I'm wrong correct me, but a forum for FE Developers wouldn't be a bad idea here. Most of the questions asked in the software forum are FE related, but not FE programming related!

I'll shutup now... :-X

I think SirP was referring to a FE help board actually...a programming/dev board already exists over at fe.donkeyfly.com :)
