Hi guys anyone willing to play Coop with me? I've never even attempted it since i dont really know anyone

Already a thread for this.

Seriously, do people even look at the first few topics in a thread before posting? I'm not directing this at you, DocDar, I'm genuinely curious because it seems like despite the fact that we've stickied the thread people tend to glance over it.

ack apoligies sorry...you can delete this then

No that's alright, I understand mistakes happen, I'm just sort of wondering aloud what more we can do to avoid said mistakes.

A forum I know once tried to derive search terms from the posting text and display them to the user. Good idea but it didn't work. Turns out it's hard for a computer to pick out the relevant terms out of a given text.

I do know of a forum that required certain threads to be read before new users could post.

And how much of that must-read thread did you read before you clicked it away?

Maybe the words "HAVE YOU SEARCHED ALREADY?!?!?" should be placed in huge writing at the top of the page

I think it needs to be in bold and Highlighted in red or yellow. Main thing is to grab everyones attention better.

Remember this one: http://www.bit-tech.net/news/gaming/2010/04/15/gamestation-we-own-your-soul/

On topic these kinds of topics can also be locked so it will die eventually

I am developing a coop hub for easy matchmaking. See here for more.

Is the thread supposed to cover both forms of Co-Op? (Co-Op Valve Campaign or Custom fan-made levels) I'm having trouble finding someone willing to play custom maps with me, so I don't want to accidently spam the forum.

Just add people on steam! They might want to play custom maps with you!

Don't know how this came back from the dead but I'm locking it.
