We have run out of ways to tell you. We have an entire section of this Web site, 2 clicks away from the homepage, with all you need to author. This is how dozens and dozens of authors have started.

Yes I know that but what I’m saying is, that info should be displayed more imperatively on the website. Maybe it that would’ve been the case, we could have even more authors. Take notice that some custom are not that complete, some have one instrument or one difficulty, that other users can improve, so some authors didn’t have that commitment to fully finish a song. So we can do better in that regard.

 

In 5 years, never once we have seen somebody say “there is no documentation available” before you did. We have seen people saying it’s hard to learn, never once somebody who couldn’t click on the Authoring Tools, Support, & Advice subforum.

I didn’t say that “there is no documentation available” I’m sayin’ that it should be shown more widely. Maybe some of the people saying that it’s hard to learn are refering to what I’m explaining but they didn’t know how to say it.

 

And as multiple people have told you, if scrolling through a page is too much for somebody, that somebody does not have yet what it takes to author. It’s like saying that in a car the steering wheel should have “left” and “right” arrows to tell the driver where the car goes if you steer the wheel. If THAT’s what you need, you can’t drive yet, as simple as that.

What you are saying there is kinda obvious, but that is not what I’m remotely thinking. I’m just giving advice on how to make the site beginner-friendly.

 

But maybe we’re all wrong, maybe somebody like you who can’t find the subforum IS ready to author:

Thanks for that jab. A little redundant considering I’m alredy there.

 

 

Nothing would make us happier than adding an author to our community. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif” />

Cool cool, but if someone has something to say, listen to them and try to understand them, specially if you are the admin, show support and care because I’m getting some hostile vibes from this topic and I didn’t intend to offend anybody. I was always happy to see new authors popping up, I created the account recently because I started working on porting my Clone Hero charts to RB and to voice this mild annoyance that I had some time ago (although I was thinking of doing it in another way but now, to me, it’s kinda funny that it started from just some suggestions lol)

That test that goes “if someone is not willing to go though the forums they cannot become authors” is a little ambiguous to me and unneeded. I’m sayin’ that if it’s presented in a better way more people will catch on.

 

So all I’m saying is just that more importance should be going into the creating custom topic.
