Improvements for the web system, applications to moderator, spam, etc.

Heya, I have a suggestion to make the games archive better:
Instead of having something wiki-based there could be custom software that integrates with the forum accounts so that you can easily list the files of a certain author and that a author can only edit their own files, without having to look for it in a huge list like it currently is.
There could also be categories to categorize games into like platformer and stuff. Or also rating games.
I'd be up for doing some code dev for that if you think it's a good idea.
Oh, also possibly uploading screenshots/zips?

That would be awesome, sadly I'm not web developer and don't have enough PHP knowledge to develop such an application. If you would make a phpBB module or something alike, I would be glad to add it to the website

Will do!
Should I allow image uploading / zip uploading?
EDIT: With what did you make that over-all header nav with Home, Wiki, Forum, Games, Downlaod and Shop?

710 lines of code later I have just finished a game uploader which allows you to update files if you have an account on the phpBB forum.
The ZIP files are uploaded, screenshots are linked off-site.
Number of downloads are tracked (for nice stats eventually), if you have a forum account you can rate files.
Games can be categorized.
Forum Admins can edit all files.
So, I'd be happy if this could go online, all requirements are php + mysql.

Download all would be a very bad idea, as the game archive only grows and thus the data you'd download. Plus that would be a gazillion of ZIP files.
But the current prototype supports pretty good sorting of files so that you can find your desired files quickly.

I´m with Clement on the download-all stuff, grat idea, but I see your point.
Specially as newer libs go on and devs don´t update their prods, it could be a mess of non working software.
Either way, great work going on here.

You also have to keep in mind that it'll potentially host hundreds if not thousands of games.
Then you also have to keep in mind that the maximum files in a folder is 512 in a FAT16 filesystem, which is what the gamebuino uses.
