Suggestion Add a subforum in 3DS discussion for questions/helping newbies

PowerMiner · Aug 24, 2016

Perhaps this would make the 3DS Homebrew Development forum easier to read if newbie questions instead had another subforum? That way those who want to read about the new releases/recent developments of homebrew and emulators can do so more easily, and maybe new releases and help/question posts alike will not be buried by each other.

If my suggestions seems a bad one, please discuss with me why you think so.

Or they can post in the noob Paradise thread, no?

What thread? I feel bad, but I can't seem to find what thread you're talking about.

Well that certainly tells us where the issue lies, we need to spread awareness of that thread.

I can see the OP's point. If they're posting in ROM Hacks or Homebrew, they won't even see that thread and just post obvious questions that annoy people. Having a separate sub forum would make it much easier to see.

That's exactly why we do need help sections. Not just some random thread in a random sub-forum.

But isn't almost every thread in every section an help request?

Except for the release threads, ya. Good point.

It seems as though you already understand the problem.

It could help to rename the subforum to Custom Firmwares and Flash Cards? I think it's easy to just read "Flash Card" and ignore it not owning one. I always forget this subforum exists because I got used to ignoring it before I first downgraded to 9.2.

I do see the logic in putting it in this forum, but I think I've gotten so used to seeing so many A9LH/help requests in the Homebrew & Emulators Development sections, that I didn't even think to check the other subforum for the noob paradise thread.

Not exactly true... @liomajor released a a9lhv2 fork which works with up to three bootloaders+gateway (multiple stage2)
Those things are just going under between "a9lh install stuck1111!111" "lost otp-nand because I'm dumb" and of course "I need YT tut plz, can't read" threads

Why we need a help section. Take notes, mods.
