Notes :

- I've tried my best to sort the links even though I suck at it.
- Some threads are probably missing.
- Some tags are probably wrong.
- Links have not been tested.

That's why, any feedback are welcomed, whatever wrong link, better organizing, etc. I know well there is room for improvements.

Thanks in advance.

Good job. I know it must have taken you a long time to sort through all the links and organize them properly, so props to you for that.

Hopefully this stops all the stupid posts about where to find tutorials for AMXX scripting.

You should try to add a brief explanation of each section and each thread; experienced users might have an understanding of what the section titles might mean, but new users will have a hard time deciphering which thread they should be looking in.

Good job though, I am sure that took you a great amount of time to accomplish.

IMO, that would make it too cluttered. If he could do mouse over popups (like you see in the forums when you hover over thread topics) then he could put them there and not clutter it all up. However, I'm not sure that is possible with bb code. Example HTML code:
HTML Code:
<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/" title="Hello how are you today?"> Link</a>
