ok, so i got this idea from gaiaonline's forum. they have this place called testing forum. basically, its just a place for people to test out coding, signatures, etc before they actually start using it in the legitimate forum. maybe we can have a slightly altered version of this.
as you all know, not everyone are coding wizes, so we (meaning i am no where near a wiz) kind of fall short in terms of good looking topics that are appealing to everyone. so i suggest we set up a kind of learners forum where people can post a "pre-topic" (a topic that doesnt quite count until it gets moved into the actual forum) and people who are really good with coding and such can help them build it by replying to there pre-topic with tips and coding assistance. of course it will be recommended that the pre-topic poster reward his/her helpers with rep.
p.s. i would suggest that post count not be counted in the learner's forum.
