Request for new forum: engine issues common to TG*.

There are many aspects of the various Torque engines which are shared amongst products which each have separate private forums.

for example, Torquescript itself, the GUIControl system, datablocks, etc are all shared by TGE, TGEA, and TGB. (And possibly TXN, i'm not sure)
the realtime networking system is shared by TGE and TGEA, and a subset of it is also in TGB.

plain owners of TGE, don't have access to the TGB or TGEA private forums, and vice-versa and vice-versa.

.. all of which is sort of a bummer when it comes to talking about stuff which requires access to one of the private forums.

for example,
i have a question about the C++ side of TorqueScript,
and i'm going to post it in the TGE Engine forum, but i'm bummed that peeps who only see the TGEA and TGB forums won't see it.

would it be possible to make a "General Torque Technology for Licensees" forum ?

I second this. Would also cut down on the need for people to post the same thread in 3 different sections, or miss a section entirely if you don't own the product.

this thread would be a perfect candidate for such a cross-engine, base-technology forum.
