It appaers as if many people say: I want to try mods, start MDF, try it, either like it and stay; or dislike it and move back to vanilla DF. This was never my attention and I have no idea how to change that behaviour. All I can say is that I wouldnt blame the board structure. I agree that the deon/putnam boards are ... not that useful (?) Putnam, you yourself said it about your board and moved thongs into the utility sectiob, because it seemed more fitting; and deon did something alike now with the LotR mod. I feel really bad about this, but if you look at the amount of topics in the boards, its still only your release threads.

One thing that comes to mind is that the bundle of GUI and utilities make my mod more popular. A simple solution would be to add the GUI and utilities to other mods too. I think many people that play MasterworkDF are so used to workflow and quickfort and fancy custom dfhack scripts, that they dont try other mods, because these are missing. The GUI as well, it can be easily fitted to any mod, because the source code is always the same, only keywords are replaced. Deon can confirm this.

It was the GUI interface that drove me away from Masterwork, and later Accelerated mod- I didn't want to bother with any of the other conversion mods in case they had the GUI, or were planning to use it. I understand that it was needed for masterwork, but putting it on accelerated was redundant as the GUI ate as much of my computers resources as though I had vanilla running.

You could always exit out of the GUI after launching DF...

True. It works exactly like the LNP. You use it to set up your version with the settings and tileset you like, and after that you do not need the launcher anymore. It just seems easier to offer a launcher with multiple options for tilesets and colors, than offering 10 different downloads and have the player do it manually.

A subforum for DFHack would be immensely practical, it would help with the organization and tracking of plugins, scripts, binpatches and general improvements to the game.

BTW--Are there any strictly DFhack-related forums anywhere? Using simple searches, I was unable to find any.

+1 from me as well.

Just counted, first three pages in the utility section: 45 threads, 21 of them about dfhack.
