I think that Command Computers should get their own subforum in programs section.

Give Command Computers their own programs subforum

Well, given that I've only seen 1 or 2 of them so far, I'm not so sure how necessary this is really.

I can see those programs sink down the programs section and never be seen again.

People will be able to find them via web searches anyways, if they want them - and if they don't, then what does it matter?

But to find something you have to first know what to find. I can see how this may end up like Pocket Computer subforum, but still, it's better than not having it. We actually have a place to put our pocket-oriented programs for people who really like Pocket Computers. Same with Command Computers, I don't see why not. The only downside is that it will take a little more space in the database, but that's probably it. By having a subforum other people could easily find Command Computer specific programs instead of trying to find them.

It'd more likely just be clutter than an actually useful section. Programs is fine for now, and if it gets absolutely inundated with command computer programs, we'll probably create a section for them. I will probably create a new topic tag that people can use when posting about them, which should make searching for them easier.

Unless there's a good reason to add the subsection, it's not going to happen. Since there's not really a huge amount of these types of programs, it's not really a good reason to add the section. If people want to make sure their programs are easily found, they can add tags to their topics that are readily searchable.

Oh, tags, I totally forgot they exist. They would certainly help to organize those topics. If you're at it, then how about a 'Pocket' tag too?

Just throwing it out there, but the "command" tag is a bit ambiguous; more than a few people have taken it to mean "commands", as opposed to, say, "command computers"…
