This taiko thread is really huge.
I propose we start 2 different new threads. One for the maps themselves as well as other useful game information such as combination unlock codes and another for discussion*.
OR we could seek a different solution to displaying the map links in such a way as users can be set and are permitted to edit the authentic map section as well as their own for the purpose of updating and adding links easily. The only problem is finding something reliable and free. I could pay for hosting and set something up with a CMS but to be honest it would be better to just rely on a large company that offers a free service.
If we could do something like that I would be fine with converting all the BBCode links to another format.
Here is the basic plan of my idea with > representing a subdirectory.
User - Rokodo has access to Taiko Maps > Authentic > ALL + Taiko Maps > Custom > Rokodo
User - Zekira has access to Taiko Maps > Authentic > ALL + Taiko Maps > Custom > Zekira
...and so on and so on. Each main section would be displayed as one article on a page or possibly via a directory tree seeing as we would be moving to our own hosting solution anyway.
Maybe something like this:
----------------------
NAVIGATION___|
---------------------
Authentic maps_|___________________TITLE (e.g. Authentic Maps - Anime)
-Anime________|
-J POP________|___________________ARTICLE CONTENT (i.e. map links)
-Namco Original_|
...etc.________|
---------------------
Custom maps___|
-aquabluu_____|
-arien666____|
-Rokodo_______|
-Zekira________|
---------------------
[Imagine the Navigation menu as aligned to the left and the article content area as a box floating to the right of it.]
Of course we would need a web admin to designate and administrate user accounts and I would actually be happy to set up a site that allows us to do this if everything is left to me in terms of setting it up. We obviously don't want public sign up available for security reasons in terms of someone might want to wreck the website. All sign ups would have to go through me or whoever else wants to help with the administration.
EDIT: peppy said we can use the osu! wiki if we want. Security may be a slightly bigger issue but poor page edits can be rolled back.
