All in all, NS is a total revamp and redesign of the community.


When TF was started in 2001, it's concept worked because of the starting staff here. You had Robouk, Spoono, Metabolite, Liquisoft, Meng(Shadowness), and a bunch more. The concept was a place for beginners.

However, as time goes on, people's skills and knowledge evolve and expand.. this is natural and we understand that. On the other hand though.. when some people get more skilled and knowledgable, they feel they need to flaunt their ego. So the 'experienced' ones left, and TF was renamed as a noob home.. which is annoying enough.

You see it all the time at communities like yaXay, Somethingleet, etc... the members whenever TF is brought up, is merely just insulted and looked down upon as a community with any potential, and that is something I sought out a year ago to change.


Basically, what I did was, I took a dead end project like TC, and formed it into the vision of what people left TF for. People wanted places to submit their artwork, get critiques, submit their scripts, get critiques.. and it occured to me.. we have some of the greatest development minds of all the communities.

While the other communities may have 'awesome designers' by trend***** standards.. TutorialForums is blessed with talented developers. Which is why, NS will be the first CSS/XHTML compliant community out there focusing on it's type of genre. It'll be faster, easier to use, and overall, more feature rich. The engine, which hasn't been named yet, is unlike any other engine. Everything about NS will be faster, and more enjoyable to the members of this community.

When Dave(AbsoluteCross), made me an administrator a year ago, I began ****yzing everything about the community. The staff suggestions from 2 years ago, member complaints, and so on. Neverside is a tribute to the members who stuck with us.. very few of you, and a tribute to our new family of members who will be here to see the beginning of a real community that will break the 'cloud' of BS the other communities have made about us.

NS will also for the first time cater specific areas to advanced learning.. everyone can read.. but it'll be an invite-only system for those to 'post' and have discussions, but everyone can read it, and learn as well.

NS will evolve around the member's vision.. that is our goal and v1-BETA will accomplish the first step of this. It'll be awesome...
