I thought it might be fun, it would have all kinds of programming help, indie games, indie movies, and all that kind of stuff. what do you guys think?

I still need a name, and maybe a paid domain. I also need about 5 moderators. who is interested in moderating?
moderators
- me
- Melancholic
- General Jackson
- Master Man Of Justice
- Kity101
- jeffhuys
-

It would be nice to have some help. if anyone could donate a domain when I have the name it would be great

if this thread needs to be locked go ahead i geuss

and did anyone ever notice this with the emoticons:

So ill share my opinion on this

I think if done correctly this could be a good idea, i find that all the indie forums such as devmaster and gamedev are full of c++ coders and other languages like it(Complex ones). I think making a forum specificly for the hobbyist using a drag and drop editor(advanced ones though!) or basic might be an idea.

I would gladly be a moderator if this took off, although im not sure if you'd want me, hell im still on moderation on this forum!

Devsfree, devsbox, devsource, Indie Devs, pro indie, these are some suggestions for a name.

off topic: this ad bot needs a ban for spamming

We only need 3 more mods before a name is decided

edit: gonna use webs.com hosting, it's pretty stable

edit: gonna use the name devsfree in 5 min if no one dicides.

ended up doing devsfree, it is a little more flowing, and it will cover way more than code.

mods need to start signing up!
devsfree.webs.com

Leaving this thread open is not fair on all those people who advertised their forums here and had them locked because of lack of content. Especially seeing as there is no forum yet.
