So, basically what I asked was a "Projects" section which would 
create more space to D people advertise D projects and post 
images showing their projects. The Discord community already has 
something like that, why don't do it with the forums where 
eventually any D user will come? D is a small community but it is 
far over from being good enough. I'm here because I like what D 
proposes, but "Good Enough" feels really as an overstatement 
about D's current state.

In my time programming in D, I have seen a plenty of people 
saying just how old the forums feel, like, needing a modern 
redesign on it. Not to mention how abandoned it feels over all

Another thing, that statement even made this forum feels like its 
made from language compiler developers to language compiler 
developer. Like, there is an unaccountable people which has 
already contributed to the language as a language, but what D is 
missing right now is D software.

In the end of the day, if you have users, you'll know more bugs 
there is in the language if there isn't just compiler developers 
using it.

If you're living on a hut and feels like it is good enough, 
you'll never have a mansion. The community which had appetite for 
a change already moved out :). As Teoh mentioned, if someone is 
bothered with images and projects on forum, they can just 
"Unsubscribe" for that section and keep following it from the 
mailing list. That's what inclusion is. Not having a choice is 
not inclusion
