CommunityStart here

Forge is a community, not an upload form.

You do not arrive and submit. You join, you take part, and the standing you build is what eventually puts your own work in front of everyone else. That order is the whole design.

How it goes

  1. 01

    Join

    One account, your Discord identity. Nothing to pay, nothing to prove yet.

  2. 02

    Settle in

    A 14 day grace period. Every feature, no responsibilities.

  3. 03

    Take part

    Test the week's projects. Give real feedback. Answer people. Be around.

  4. 04

    Build standing

    Two ladders move as you do: one for contribution, one for presence.

  5. 05

    Become eligible

    Reach the marks and the submission route opens to you.

  6. 06

    Submit

    Your project goes into the same loop you have been part of.

  7. 07

    Get it back

    A week of real use, structured feedback, and a digest of what to fix.

The two ladders

Both are real and both already run in the Discord server. Neither is a score invented for this website: one measures what you have given, the other measures that you are actually here.

Where you stand

Submission opens at a specific point on both ladders. The requirements page shows exactly where that is, and where you are against it.
