Much better for a potential game developer to post a question in the "wrong" way, get help, and decide to start making a game than to be afraid to post because he or she is worried about "breaking the rules" and thus never becomes a creator.

What we do as creators is terrifying on so many levels. To come here and post questions means you've got to speak up in a place where you're potentially a stranger. It also means you've got to admit you don't know something, which is hard for most people. And then, the thought of making something and showing it to the angry masses of the internet can be quite debilitating.

The only reason I ever started posting on the lagoon was that I was happy with the open and respectful way you folks were treating Ehlanna. And, even then, I obfuscated my gender for a significant amount of time (that's why I'm "Tlaero" instead of "Tlaera"). I'd like for this forum to be one that's so open and supportive that the next "me" reads it and says, "I think I may be comfortable posting there."

So let's not do anything to make a potential creator's life more difficult. This forum won't fall apart if we get a single thread with 4 questions instead of 4 threads with one question.
