Ho, everyone, and Happy Belated New Year!

Before I get started, I'd like to thank each and every one of you for contributing amazing Works in Progress for the Workshop. I may not comment a whole lot thanks to the holidays (the last "holiday" - my coworker's birthday - was, in fact, two nights ago), but be assured that I've at the very least been prowling.

Which brings me to part of the reason for this post. Last month I posted this discussion with a couple of requests. After that, I've had marked improvements in efficiency, but there are still posts with titles that deviate from the rules (posted here). Therefore, I shall henceforth be posting warnings to any mislabeled build, no matter how minor the deviation. If this feels nit-picky, please keep in mind that there are essentially 6 pages of WiPs to dig through, and the number of active, on-hold, and completed WiPs is ever-fluctuating, so keeping track of around 60 different builds can easily become overwhelming.

With that bit of bookkeeping out of the way, I'd like to go ahead and ask,

"What do you hope most to accomplish in the Workshop, and how can we make it easier for you to achieve your goal?"

Before you ask, responding to this is absolutely mandatory. 

I kid, I kid. But I really do want to know.

Thanks for reading,

YiXiang

I want to finish my builds. I want to finish my builds. I want to finish my builds. 

What will make it easier to achieve my goal? Lots of wine and maybe some hand-holding? Lol

PS: Nice to see you again, Wu. :D

I don't really drink, but the hand-holding I can do.

It's good to be back. If I've ever seen a hectic holiday season, this was it.

[blockquote][b][url=/profile/JohnLeBlanc]John LeBlanc[/url] said:[/b] To me the whole point of the workshop and it's only reason for existence is for people to put up builds that are in the development phase and get constructive criticism him to help make them the best they can be. So the first and foremost thing has to be making comments and giving constructive suggestions. For example on my current WIP build one of the things I ask for is some help coming up with a name To date I have gotten exactly 0 suggestions. Now that could be for any number of reasons. It could be that nobody can think of a better name. It could be that nobody cares. Whatever it may be but just a complete lack of comments of any sort doesn't give me any direction and kind of makes it a waste to put it in the workshop in the first place. I certainly don't want to come across as negative because the workshop is long been my favorite place in the entire vault. But since you asked that I think is the biggest challenge facing the workshop.[/blockquote]

*runs frantically to John's thread thinnking of a name*

Plum forgot, mate. Sorry.

Well if it's mandatory then :P

I'd like to jump in here with an apology. I've been around fairly often but I haven't really been commenting on WiP's, and to be honest, that's because it's just totally skipped my mind lately. I've had a hectic month guys, and I think it's starting to catch up with me. I've had only a bit of free time and I've been throwing that purely into playing games and working on my own shit.

Really I preach so often that we need to make time to comment on each other's WiP's so when I don't do that it kind of pisses me off (if that makes any sense). I'll try and get around to everyone's today, and then Wu and I can figure out what we're going to do about the whole...We should've deleted a bunch of content over hte holidays thing. At the moment I'm thinking about a hard reset of the Two-Week Rule and starting that up officially as of the 14th (because it's even damn it :P), but yeah we'll need to talk about it.

Thanks to everyone who's been posting, commenting, working on WiP's and basically anything else. And if anyone's bothered reading this far, I have to let you know that the Hype Train should be making a stop in the Workshop starting February 1st, not going to tell you what's happening but February's going to be freaking awesome :D 

Better late than never, eh Wu?

I'm not working on anything that would go in the Workshop, and I doubt I will for the forseeable future, so I'm here more to help out other people, so I'm not sure that I can answer the question. Exams have got a hold on me recently, but tomorrow's the last one so I should be piping up here again soon enough.
