International Forums

I would like to get your ideas on how we can make this forum a true international Skyline forum.

Moderators:
We would need moderators for various time zones and language skills so we have at most times someone who could help other users.

Language/translation:
It would be easier if each topic could translate to save us losing valuable user help information. I see that google translate seem to work on this site. Not sure if we can find a better method?

We would like your views and support to make this a great friendly fun game development community for all artists, developers and creatives.

@antON Would you mind moderating for the Ru users?

ok,im a kinda carried on from the mod db thread..lol

i have run a couple of forums before, good few years ago now probably not to familiar with them these days operations wise, but like you said learning on the job has its advantages, so if you need an extra pair of uk hands here or on steam or mod db where ever feel free to contact me some time to talk about it :). but like i say its been like 6 or 7 years since being a mod/admin of a forum/website so im a rusty haha, but if i can help then i will by all means when and if your in need.

@lordalmighty1, we have made you a moderator aswell. :)

the one thing we need users to be doing, is spreading the word and getting people to join the forums and get using skyline.
This forum has quite alot of information already, i think the search does an ok job at finding the information.
obviously there will be questions that only us devs will be able to answer, but we are on the forums everyday waiting for activity lol. With the index page constantly refreshing every minute, its quite easy to keep on top of the new posts.

@antOn, if you have russian users already on known forums, then it would be great to start bringing them in.

Great thank you for helping. If you find any module or other support packages (phpBB) we can install to make the forums better please let us know. :D

Lets get the traffic flowing and get creative!

If you can post images of work/projects to chat about, start a discussion on game dev or game art and encourage others to do the same. There is a lot of game developers and artists who could benefit from Skyline, just need to get them in here and keep them here once they have joined the community.

Hi all,

If you want, I'll happily stick my hand up for those of us 10-12 hours ahead of the UK.

The only problem I have is that we currently have very little internet access ( I'm having to use my work iPhone as a hotspot at the moment :mrgreen: ). We should be getting internet by 14th Feb with a bit of luck!!

Keep up the good work, and I'll try to keep up-to-date via FB & Twitter.

Hi Shando, yes that would be great if you can help and seeing as you already have a lot of experience with the engine, you would be very valuable to the community.

Don't worry about the internet, you can help out when you can, plus skyline will be around for awhile, so there will be plenty to do :P

i will make you a moderator now.
Edit: @Shando, You are now a moderator :)
