  There is a already one category for that called announce your apps :-bd

  Yes I know, which is another reason I don't quite understand why every new release is being pinned to the top of the forum. It's unmanageable.

  @moopf well it's a way to track attention to new apps. But nobody is more upset with announcements covering whole screen than me, thus I'm always the one trying to clean it up, still trying to give each app some time on the announcements space.
  
  I've also tried creating a unified thread, which was not used, and managing builtwithgideros.com but nothing gives more attention than announcement space.
  
  Maybe we'll need to limit a time on it, right now I'm trying to give a month of time, but will try to reduce to , hmm, a week?

  @ar2rsawseen Yeah, I know it's useful to give attention to new apps but the rate at which they come is only going to increase so I guess a better way is needed than pinning everything to the forum, that's all I'm saying.

  Oh I hope it will increase, that will force me to implement some automation to builtwithgideros.com and yes probably by that time will only announce some top apps of the week/month etc
  
  But right now will try to limit time/amount of announced aps

  I've also cleaned it up a bit, but the more apps appear here, the less they'll be visible on top of the forum.

  but still it would be nice if we can separate the marketing from development stuff...

  @plamen so you won't mind if your app won't be announced here when it comes out?
  
  Well if most of forum members vote for that sure, I can stop announcing apps.
  
  Or maybe only featured apps of the week or something like that should be announced? But then again, who will decide which apps should be featured?

  @ar2rsawseen Although you're replying to @plamen I know I wouldn't expect my app announcement to get pinned when I release the first one (hopefully by end of Feb with any luck). I'm not sure pinning to the forum is massive exposure anyway, it would be much better if Gideros themselves highlighted releases on the main site.

  Actually right now I'd say forum gives more exposure than main page. But I might be mistaken.
  But ok, what do other think about that? Should we stop announcing apps on the forum?

  @arsrsawseen - It's not about stopping announcing apps on the forum, I see no reason to remove the 'Announce your apps!' section. It's about not pinning them. Or am I missing something here?

  @moopf ok by announcing I meant pining them. It's just a button called announce that pins them, thus the confusion, sorry

  i think that it should have to be continue though this forum can not give me much download i am not expecting even double digit download but still it gives motivation to all developers and it is not annoying at least for me on the other hand no one likes to go anywhere else to see whether any new game has launched or not
