    Suggestion: Add a Technical Questions Forum. This would be used for questions such as, "Is it possible to do so-and-so." Then someone, that knew the answer, would respond and be like "Yes, that is possible." Or "No, those are two different plugins." Or something like that.

    Reason:Many times people will make really awesome sounding suggestions, and then everyone just bumbles around until Kuke or Ryan or Netsui or someone comes in and is like "Impossibru!" Next thing you know, suggestion can't happen. It would be a lot easier to go to the technical forums and be like "Can we add directions to the town portal in the /rg i?" Instead of making a suggestion that we should do it and having Kuke come in and bust the party.

    Any Other Information: The only down side is that some questions could only be answered by a very small amount of people. I know that "Help and Bug Reports" Kinda covers this, but it doesn't seem like the place to ask questions, if it is, please tell me so.

    Link To This Plugin: It's the forums.

    Bump.

    Only 13 views. I'd prefer to see some feedback before I let this die.

    It seems pointless to have a whole section dedicated to the occasional 'technical question'.

    I think it would be good. I end up asking in chat for some stuff, but o forum section would be much better. +1

    I don't see why we would need a separate forum for that, just write the suggestion and let people discuss.

    Yeah but it's kind of pointless if you suggest something, 10 people go "+1 good idea!"

    And then you post going "Sorry, blah blah blah, wouldn't work."

    Replace a pointless thing with another pointless thing, it kind of defeats the point.

    Er, perhaps would could expand a section that we have to include this?

    Because some questions I have can't be suggestions.


    Like for example this question:

    Cactus causes lag because of the way it is farmed and the fact that it can be farmed automatically simply by placing a block next to it. When this block is placed the cactus drops as an entity. An auto farm like this can result in thousands of entities being dropped therefore causing lots of lag.

    It was an example question, not meant to be actually answered in here.

    Help / Support is meant for that.

    Actually it wasn't an example question. I actually really always wanted to know that :D
