Hm, tbh I don't like the idea of another forum. There should be ONE place to talk about D:OS (and DC) and not two or three. I would be very happy to see a modding subforum for D:OS HERE but I won't support an external (and unofficial) forum, sorry StromIV.
I fear that an external forum would even split the rather small (core) community and that's not what I want so see.
I believe it won't split it up. It's great that it's a temporary fix until larian announce an official site for early brainstroming.
A forum is never temporary. People will start discussions there and you would have to transfer the whole stuff from there to a new official subforum here once there is one which is way too much work and almost impossible to perform in the right way. So some people who already begun a discussion/project there would simply stay there....
We should just wait with modding projects etc for some days/weeks until an official solution is found. I think that Larian already knows that we want a solution for that and that they will set up something soon.
If the official site is created, I know people will migrate to the official site linking all the previous discussion from the other forum for continuity. People from the other site will continue the discussions to the official site. Of course, modders won't continue discussion on the other forum because they won't get the publicity they need. Everything being discussed there are just blueprints and only ideas. It's easy to consolidate (summarize) them if you're really passionate on what you're doing (modding) IMO.
@Strom you should just make the threads public without the mandatory register. With this, people could easily go to the referenced link without the need for additional procedure (register).
