   This forum needs a new moderator.
  Jim Adams has not posted since October 22, 2003. This forum is littered with blatant ignorance to common sense and other meaningless crap. I''d really like to see something done about it... 
  I think he died well, I think you right, send an email to GDEV about this, 4 months is alot of time... ;  Last time Jim posted he said he was busy with a restaurant or something I believe you're right. A new moderator is definitely needed. We need someone who visits the forum frequently (i.e. daily, at least ). He doesn't have to be a DirectX guru, he just has to cleanup the mess this forum degenerates into every couple of days.I'll email Myopic Rhino and get him to do some sort of an election here (like they did with the graphics theory forum).   Muhammad Haggag[edit]Fixed something[/edit]   [edited by - Coder on February 12, 2004 1:29:06 AM];  I sent Dave an email, and pointed him to this thread.   Muhammad Haggag;  I agree.  I doubt most people in this forum even know who the moderator is.  The moderator should at least pop their head in every once in a while so that people don''t think (s)he died or something...Maybe the moderator could update the forum faq with answers to questions that get asked all the time.  Things like "How do I access the vertices of an ID3DXMesh?", an explanation of how DrawIndexdPrimitive works, and a few others would be good additions.neneboricua ;quote:Maybe the moderator could update the forum faq with answers to questions that get asked all the time. Things like "How do I access the vertices of an ID3DXMesh?", an explanation of how DrawIndexdPrimitive works, and a few others would be good additions.Oh and VSync, for God''s sake . Whenever I see one of those "dx9 too slow" questions I just want to weep!   Muhammad Haggag;  I agree too, but for another reason.  I first came here specifically for assistance sorting out some of the crappy code that is found in Mr Adams books, and when there was not even one reply I formed a very bad opinion of him for not offereing ANY visible support, after taking my money.  Now I know his life has probably moved on from graphics stuff, I feel less animosity, and find this a valuable resource regardless of moderator, but you do see a steady flow of people who come here for the same reason as me, and his name being on the forum when he is absent is not doing him any favors.My 2p.Atlay ;  Hi,if you need a moderator for this forum, I''ll suggest... well... me.Although I haven''t replied on much questions here, I''m quite fit in DirectX. I pass here more than once a day (often fiveto six times).To get a grasp of who I am, take a look here :Stefan MatonSo... if you''re looking for a moderator, keep my name in mind.Best regards,Metron ;  Yeah, I''ve been passing through this forum daily for upwards of six months and I''ve not seen a single post from the moderator (though I''m sure he must have posted in that time, it''s pretty odd that I''ve not seen a single post).  I wouldn''t mind moderating the forum if only to keep some of the repetitiveness out of the posts!

I thought it''d be more natural to email him.quote:Although I haven''t replied on much questions here, I''m quite fit in DirectX.

It only takes to be:* Cool-headed* A frequent visitorIt''d be a plus if you are well known and respected by the forum people.We''ll see with the elections when Dave comes here .   Muhammad Haggag
