Desi Game Developer Forums V2

After months of endless waiting and umpteen issues with Gamedev forums hosted on Trine Game Studio's servers, we have decided its time to move on for something better and reliable.

I had registered a new domain name and web-hosting plan, been building the new site, testing it on local machine, etc. making sure its going to be absolutely worth moving. Started with just the Forums, but more features. But, it has come a long way out.

Not only tuned for game-developer community, its going to be far bigger in scope than just a bulletin board. In fact, bulletin-boards(forum) will only be a sub-section of the whole site, a part of a full-fledged Community & Social networking portal.

Website domain name is registered as
http://desigamedevelopers.com

Some of the new features are

- Many additional profile fields specific to game-developers

- Members' detailed profile will allow full HTML and can as be flexible as a blog-page.

- Enhanced WYSIWYG text editor.

- Gallery system will allow each member to post as many pictures of their works, and maintain them as Albums. A a discussion can begin as comments to each pic/album ( Similar to a Wiki/CMS)

- While posting, the forum will detect youtube, google-video, links and auto-embed them into the post.

- Bigger attachments, flexible signatures, etc.

- Embed Flash Objects in posts. ( Helpful for Flash-Coders to present their games). It is possible to embed static images, animated GIFs, Flash elements from web. Hot linking is also supported.

- Public Shout-Box and Real time Chat between online members.

- Favourites. Bookmark specific posts or threads.

- Full RSS, to get notification of activity on the forums without having to visit it repeatedly.

A WHOLE LOT MORE... :)

This looks great!!

Some thoughts:

1. Let us not have so many sub forums to start with, lets keep it to bare minimum, if need arises we should make more branches.

2. We should break studio listing in terms of cities and not platforms.

Other than these, i think you are rocking!
