Sorry, I didn't mean to imply your post is pointless. I probably won't do anything major for a few months on the site, and I'm the only person who makes any changes, so... :( The survey for use in the future, and also to get a view of how things are currently. It's quite a positive poll. I actually ran out of questions, it needed to be far more detailed than that.

One way to get people interested is to feature upcoming games. Many of our members are making games. Do you remember my idea of Project of the month? How about the winner will get his or her project featured on the homepage? Our awesome projects will impress people because we can show them anyone can make a great game.

If you guys want to do something like that then just PM me. I set up a system, originally for Kiriashi, where you post on a forum that is invisible and it shows on the homepage.

If you do step down as admin, or close it down, or whatever, I may have some php Work for you if youre interested. my Indie Burn website is still without a web programmer, and it will remain unfinished until I have one competent enough to make it amazing.

I appreciate that you would consider me competent. However I am not a PHP programmer. I know PHP and I know how to find out what I want to create in PHP, but I'm very much so an amateur. I'm not closing this site down or stepping down. I meant that I will be working on the 'new' rmxpunlimited and wont work much here (on this current live site) until it is released. Therefore another admin would be appropriate while I'm working behind the scenes..

However initially I'm thinking of May 7th for the release date. That is the 5 year anniversary since I first began. It needs to be big, doesn't it? :) I'd like you to PM me regarding your site anyway. I'm interested because I would like to improve my PHP knowledge, and we'll see if I am capable of helping you out.

I totally missed this topic while I was away!!! lol While I use VX I know that most others don't (and I bet they like Coke over Pepsi lol) RMXP is what we focus on. As for Unlimited, well what is unlimited? We have a very small amount of scripts, a very small amount of active members(though I see thats changed since I have been back :)) In fact our largest category is graphics and the most diverse from other sites is our tools section thanks to Evil Cabbage. As for the Resouce Team, that idea has been lingering around like luggage and I would love to help( I already contribute a lot to the Graphic Resource Area) but we should really focus on scripters- because thats where the publicity is at. Unless your the next Half-Kaizer Guy, you'll never make a name in Graphics.

We do need scripters.

Marked, I think you should try to make a team/staff that will focus on new scripts, resource, and community games.

This forum is slowly getting less and less scripts and sprites added. I'm fairly new so I don't know what it was like a while ago but it isn't as active as it was when I first started in terms of scripts and sprites. I can help with the sprites but only slightly because I mainly do re-colours and not sprites from scratch. but that's just my opinion.

Glad you'll help. But I don't think this is the right topic and it's kind of a necropost.

Even so, I am glad to see the results of this survey were positive. Overall, it is considered to be a good quality site, and this survey was done by 53 people. I'm sure Marked is pleased to see this.

I am very pleased with the turn out. It is a little too positive though. Its hard to know what to improve on. I think I came close to the limit of the amount of questions can use on a poll, there should be a lot more questions.
