Can we post all Control Panel questions in one sticky?

<< < (2/2)

Crazy Cooter:
1- Main forum could keep "hardware" & "cabs"
2- CP forum takes "controls and "layouts"

That might be a good division.  I do like the idea of having a hall of fame for the Control Panels too, but are there enough unique ideas to warrant it?  Right now CP layout design is kind of spread out and buried.  If we combined them like this, we could document the controllers and relate that to the actual layout design, then keep the hardware needed for cabinet construction with cabinet design.  It makes sense to me.  The "odd-ball" stuff (ie: computer requirements) could stay in the main forum.

*Actually, since this is "Build Your Own Arcade Controls", maybe the CP layout should be the main forum and we should branch off the cabinet design to its own forum...?

See, I'd put "cabs" and "layouts" together, because (to me) they're both relating to the same thing, which is "design".  How should I/how did you put that cab together?  Is a screen at 85-degree angle better/worse than one at a 75% angle?  Where should the buttons be on my cp etc.

And then I'd put "controls" and "hardware" together because (again, to me) those both relate to "parts".  What pieces to use.  Does this joystick work better than this other one?  Why is that spinner good?  Etc.

And I'd still lose the "Main" forum topic.  It's just not descriptive.

But that's just me :)
