Absolutely marvellous for 2 reasons:

1. I have seen several new (to me) thingies that I'd like to try out

2. I would like to use the same layout for my apps page also, if you're ok with that?

Sure, it's just a standard table.  Want me to PM you a sample?

This would be perfect for everybody who has released software on DC.  That EXACT layout, in its OWN forum section - Perhaps even catagorised to the softwares type in a different section.

To sum that up, there would be a special forum section that each member who has posted software, here on DC, would create a topic with thier own title.

Then in a sub-section of that area there would be, as example;

Windows
- Gaming
- Tray Apps
- AntiVirus
- Webcam
- Etc

Linux
- blah

MAC
- blah

Forum moderator would look through each persons list of software and see the category the author has set thier software to, then add it to the required list.

All the above posts should be locked at all times, except for edits by the original author, and comments can go in thier own sections like they already do, instead of clutering up the nice lists :)

Does this have anything to do with the horrendous number of "Moved topic" notifications I received today?

On that note, MouserBot really needs to omit anything that has MOVED in the start of the title...spammed the IRC like craaaazy.
