Man there are some unfinished projects out there. And some people want to create new ones as well. Here is my opinion. As per the other forum we have going we need to clean up the other projects. A lot of those projects can be finished by the people we have here as those people are still here and apparently either got bored with it or something else happened. Who know, point being is that we have unfinished projects that need to be completed before we go about making new ones. Once Fallout 4 comes out, we really won't have the time to go back and fix these projects and they will be lost forever in the category of "inactive projects". The graveyard where no project ever comes back from. Some of the older game stuff will be hard to find editors for but FO3 and FO:NV we have plenty here who play either or both. Let's do this peeps.

Please don't be rude and dismiss this forum. That forum addresses reassigning old projects. I am concerned with new and possibly unneeded projects being created when there are plenty of current unfinished projects. That is the purpose if this forum.--Kingclyde (talk) 21:24, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
I'm not being rude. I think the issue of the number of projects and content thereof is all one big issue, and to sepreate it into new and old doesn't make sense. In any case, you're advocating that people should work on an old project in deference to creating a new project, which is actually what the other forum (by your own words) is for: reaassignment - it goes beyond just simple reassignment too. I think you're just confusing things by having another discussion away from the discussion. Agent c (talk) 21:36, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
I'm discussing things here in a general discussion as this deals with the topic of new projects as well. The other forum is structure to specifically deal with certain topics and not generalized discussion as this forum is for. I am unsure why you dismissed this forum and are still doing so. It is a forum, let it be please. It is here for discussion.--Kingclyde (talk) 21:50, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
Clyde, I am discussing this, you might be hearing me, but I dont feel you're listening, by saying that I'm "Dismissing" it is simply not the case. I am saying this is a part of a broader discussion that includes all of the other elements, and breaking this chunk off does not appear to make much sense. I am Discussing it, and my discussion point is, if you choose to aknowledge it, is that you've cut off half of the conversation we should be having, when we could have discussed the issue in its entriery in the other forum, rather that start a new one to discuss similar issues.

I noticed this earlier today but I am just a member so I moved on without making any fuss but now that the topic is open.. It makes better sense if you want to start a project to find other members and discus it first. Then as a group approach a mod or admin that might help redefine it and or put it into action.

I understand what you mean, and the release of Fallout 4 will put most of our current projects on the back-burner for even longer. However, innovation has a mind of its own, and newer projects that have proven their worth should remain addressed, as well. It wouldn't do us any good to ignore new ideas and/or issues just because we already have some not properly or entirely addressed. Did you have a solution? An incentive prospect might help get these projects done. Not sure what we could do to incentivize editors, however, and there's always the issue of editors expecting to be incentivized later instead of doing it out of good will. I'll let you all know if I come up with something.

I'm not sure what we could do. We already have the little project completion awards but we need something more pronounced and real. Also I was thinking of maybe limiting people to being the Project lead on only one project at a time. They can work on multiple projects but leading more than one project can be a task. If they want to quit a project they are on as project lead and then start a new project shortly there after, there has to be a reason as to why they didn't pan out on the other project. You don't hire a failed manager from Pizza Hut to run a Papa John's. Just a thought.--Kingclyde (talk) 21:50, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
