New forum?
polycounter lvl 20
I've been a while in this community, and I really like it. This is where I started from.. that will never change.
It used to be a much more intimic and focused group, geared towards game editting solely, but things have changed.. have expanded since then.
I think there should be 2 pimping forums:
one strictly for game editting - concept, model, texture, anim, level.
another for other forms of "accesories" pimping: graphic engine coding, web design, photograpgy, etc.
raise votes

aaah i messed up the poll timer thing.
Stupid machines!
Alight, nevermind the poll.

before he started the thread.
and my oppinion is a lil bit different. i really get his
point and understand it too. however its difficult to get
the individual to bother about the worthness of his thread.
now we have to ask ourselfs if it hurts us individual and as
a group of we see a thread from time to time in a forum that
aint exaclty made for it. in my case for example i would
post another piece of graphisme (some know it).
and i wouldnt say we are flooded by it. and as a user i
wouldnt nessacarly think wtf go away with that shit if its
atleast at a minimum of quality and pimpworthness. opening
one horizon to the users. we are not exactly talkin about
much crit in this case. purpose is more an exposure and a
general check of feedback how the crowd likes the shit.
I must admit personally i cannot remember any case of that
kind that i had seen nongameart content that i was happy to
see and stunned. cannot recall any. but i dont see a such a
great amount of it that its worth a split up forum since the
forum would rarely have something new and there by wouldnt
be included in my daily check of forums....
enough blah blah...
alright! thats fine.
We have tried expanding the forums before with new ones, but, seeing as how humans are naturally creatures of habit, the new forums tend to be popular for about a week and then fall into the void where as the original ones just keep the same number of posts.
The rating system both r13 and I and several others agreed that it doesn't really do anything except create more of a rift between the new people and the pros. What normally happens is, the people who see Bobo_the_Seal on a post (using the previously mentioned example) and will rate it as high as possible as soon as possible based on a name and not the content which then results in new people getting even less exposure (at least historically around here and other places I have seen, that's how it works. I would be glad to hear/see otherwise).
I (personally) really appreciate it when you guys post comments or requests or give feed back on new features. It helps us out a ton and lets us know what you want and don't want to see.
As much of an ogre as I know I am portrayed around here
Umm...I think I am babbling now.
cgtalk has that whole front-page-of-'best'-art setup, with direct links and images to the art in question.
please, *do not* do something like that with this forum. it occured to me the other day that this tends to keep me from diving into the sub-sections of the cgtalk forums and thus missing a lot of good art, cause i get into a mindset of 'this must be the only good stuff on the forums right now'.
