You don't; that'd be redundant and worthless. No suggestion at that site is initiated until there has been enough interest expressed and committed.

Why would you vote against it? If you don't like it, it doesn't have to be a part of your life.

Actual design, technical and such questions have none or next to no views. Nice to see what people really think when they talk indie games.

And actually, I thought this kind of thing is exactly what TIGSauce is ultimately about! (It's just a little Quentin Tarantino about it's ordering.)

From what I understand, after the "Introduce yourself" topic, it basically flows from the bottom of the site up. Art/Design/Audio/DevLogs kick a project off. Feedback lets you fine-tune a playable version and get just that. If a project/collab is deemed "TIGSauce Community," it goes in the Projects area; and final/semi-final released are posted in Announcements.

Then you have Technical/Math/Business subforums to help deal with legality and programming issues, and a Tutorials forum (that could be sorted into GM/Java/Flash/XNA/C++ to organize them, but I digress) for people still green around the programming, or to troubleshoot/redesign parts you're tripping over.

  But maybe it's just me.

Businesswise, it comes down to personal budgeting, without overshooting, being too greedy, or milking hexidec-ilogies; for an outcome that's fair and enriching to all parties involved (and convenient for internet-purchasing).


EDIT: "Game engine architecture tutorial." Get this.

I think a totally GAME oriented stackoverflow would allow people to concentrate on games and their technics (be int game design, on paper, in programming, with cards, etc.).

So, it wouldn't be about game programming but creating GAMES, theory, practice, whatever the medium used. Having straight questions about game balancing, game code organisation or even game context/scenario theory, with answers approved by experienced people will greatly help the community to grow and be more mature on the knowledge side.

Now this I would LOVE to see. Already voted over at Area51.
