How about adding a child forum in the projects section for completed projects. The recent thread about this got me thinking this. -
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=71242.0How about having people post in completed if they start the post describing a completed project, and if the project is a WIP, then have them post in the main project forum. When the project is done, have a mod move the thread to completed. OR - only allow a user to be able to post in WIP (disallow starting a post in completed), and require a mod to move it when done.
There are many times when I'd like to spend time researching the build of a project, but when it is only part done, it's disappointing to not find out how something was done. It's like reading a book only to find out it's half written. With a completed forum, you know that it finishes, and the WIP forum, you know that it doesn't.
Good idea, bad?
