I just bought iTorque ($99). But I cannot find the link to private forum under "My Products" section.
I tried all kinds of web browsers.

I also asked help from irc channel:
11:42 dunie Hello, I am new paid iTorque user.
11:43 dunie Where is the private forum?
11:47 Steve_Yorkshire http://www.garagegames.com/community/forums -> and look under "My Products" section at the top

11:53 dunie I see nothing under that "My Products" directory... I am sure that I have logged in.
11:57 Steve_Yorkshire Post your profile link "my account -> my profile"
11:58 dunie If I log out, I can see "You must be logged in to see private forums" under that "My Products". Therefore, I guess there is no private forum for iTorque?
11:58 dunie OK, wait a minute.

Bad Steve, no cookie. Time to update your bookmarks. ;)

@dunie
In the Before Time, the iT2D Private forums were merged with the Public and made Public. It appears under the Engines category in your forum view, here's the link.

I see. Thanks.

In addition, what products have private forums now? Only Torque 3D?

Just T3D and some add-on products/kits (AFX, TGB Adventure/Platformer/Kart kits)

That TGB Platformer Kit seems sweet.
Where would I found some more similar template stuffs built on top of Torque?
i.e. A template implemented basic functions for some type of games.
I found Gamesalad and Corona have a lot of those kinds fo templates.
e.g.

I finally go for iTorque because I am C++ programer and Garagegames gives paid users source code of Torque engine. C++ source code seems really awesome, and WYSIWYG editor is also awesome. I played Cocos2D for iphone for a while, and I am tried of hacking Object-C source code all the time without WYSIWYG editor and templates.
In fact, I think a perfect 2D game engine should include WYSIWYG editor, high-level scripts, templates and source code. With those stuffs, users can try ideas by just editing exist templates easily. If users want some specific functions that do not exist, they can hack and modify the engine source code to do that.

Therefore, I really want to find some templates to do fast prototyping. For an example, I currently want to find some template for a slashing game like "fruit ninja". Is there any template for that?

I guess I should move the template-related post above to another sub-forum like forum for iTorque... :)
