Announcement I will start the long process of changing every code thread to the 'Gecko Format'. This has been talked about between me and Star for awhile now, but I've been very lazy to start the long process.
What is the Gecko Format?
Well first, we have the current format required for all code threads. Ofc, the name of the code is the title of the thread. The code title is also the first line within the thread itself. The code creator(s) are listed at the bottom including credits if needed.
Well on the geckocodes.org site, they follow a different format. The have the code creators (NOT anyone in the credits) added to the code title itself, contained with brackets. For example..
Big Example Code [John]
If there are co creators, it would look like this...
Big Example Code [John / Joe]
Then credits are added after the code itself.
Then credits are added after the code itself.
I have decided that all codes will follow the Gecko format to honor the developers of the USB Gecko. Without them, nothing coding-wise would even exist. It's time to respect the developers who rarely get any recognition, by following the format they used.
So if you are somebody who has codes posted on this site, here is the new format...
Change the thread title (this can only be done via FULL edit), to add the code creators (within BRACKETS) after the code name.
Then... Change the code title within the thread itself (the first line of the thread) to reflect the new format as well. That's it! Nothing else.
Do NOT remove w/e listing of code creators and credits you already have in the bottom of your thread (from the old format), leave them there. That way, the creators of the codes are listed 3 times total, and the credits are still listed once (at the bottom).
This entire process will take a long time.
Thank you and have a nice day.
