Why is it that we don't have a request section any more? The few actual artists that are left here, are people who can, and would fill massive amounts of requests.
Re opening the graphic request board would not only bring new members, but more long term members that would boost activity, and regain the notoriety that solid snake designs once had.
Also, where the hell is the resource submission? I've got an entire pack of C4D renders that I'd love people to be able to use. Problem is, I can't find any where to put theme.
Any one want to explain this to me?

Yeah but who would fill the requests? Personally, I barely have enough time to work on v7 let alone fill image requests. I would have thought those graphically functional on the staff also have little time.
If something is introduced that will help us apparently get more members that assumes it is popular and popular = lots of usage.

I'd happily fill requests, I don't have college/uni/school in the way, and I work barely any hours a week, I have plenty of spare time.

The board won't be added during this version. I could possibly see a "pilot program" concerning graphic requests come out after v7's release. The staff will consider it fo sho.
thx for input shaun.

No problem, I feel it's about time I gave back to the community I've been a part of for the last 5 years.

I'm sure the upper staff will consider it once V7 is out. I however, will not. Too many bad memories

I think that it should be brought back with, if not sooner than v6. SSD is dying and really needs active members. If SSD continues slowing at this rate it will be dead before 2009. Requests bring in a lot of active members, the admins used to say that these type of members were not desired, but right now, any new members is good I think.
I'd be happy to help fill requests.

See, it's a good idea imo, it'll help bring new members and there is all ready 2 people who have offered to help fill requests (me & jongos), plus, trying it wont hurt? =/

I'm not really fond with the idea myself. However, I don't see why we can't do maybe a trial run of it when v7 is released. With v7 will come some major changes. Some I'm not sure SSD will be able to handle fully, but I'm going to do my best to make sure it's stable and doing well. Right now I haven't been able to do much of anything because of moving so much and the lack of a computer, but that'll change soon.
Anyways, enough rambling. As I said, we might just do a trial run of the board with v7's release. I'd like to see more than just you two filling requests though.

I can ASSURE you directly from someone who at one point, a long long time ago, slaved away in the GraFX board, it's not fun, it's not fulfilling and it's just .. a burden. People are never satisfied and they are never grateful.
When I was modding the board, I spent EASILY four hours a day in it.
I don't know how active these boards are anymore as I never ever come here, but if it is half as active as it was during V3 and V4, it's not worth it. The people come, they get their request, they don't say thanks, and they leave.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
..I wonder if anyone remembers me :]

..I wonder if anyone remembers me :] I remember you, and I'm sure some of the other vets do as well. :] I know you guys busted your asses in that board. I remember that's how I first met Car (urban.cinderella). However, some of us did stick around after getting requests filled. I was one of them, and now look at where I'm at here. Trust me, not all the requesters left. Though I do see your point. Which is why if we do give it a go, it'll only be a trial run, and there will be requirements.

Well, in the meantime, and if/when this is initiated, please put a message somewhere not to send people messages in PM/MSN/AIM requesting this kind of stuff. I get them ALL THE TIME and it's rather annoying.

I get them ALL THE TIME and it's rather annoying. It will still happen. I think when I was modding the board, we had alerts that popped up saying if they messaged me or any of the staff for image requests, they would get a warning. Even that didn't stop it.
