lophyte, you needed to post this here, I've already updated that thread with this list as it is the most up to date, nice one.

Doom3 Tutorial Listings

Yes, but will all sub forums tutorial listings contain all tutorials to the whole site?

Right now we could open a tutorials only forum

I think that's a great idea, it would save people digging time and they would all be in one place. Also, we wouldn't have to worry about keeping a list like this up to date. Dooo it!

sounds good .

I don't know.. If I was looking for scripting (a) tutorial(s), I wouldn't want to dig through the mapping tutorials and such? Maybe have sub-forums in one forum that have each topic?

Ekkruker's idea would be best... but take most work... ehhhhhh, it would be awesome though... then I can delete all these favourites of tutorials.

I dunno but that would seem a bit excessive Why not create a board for tutorials, and have a bunch of sticky topics for each tutorial category, with a list inside. The rest of the forum could be used for posting and requesting tutorials.
