The request board was closed down for several reasons. I don't think it's coming back soon.

I think if we could have someone volunteer to do them, it would be a positive for SSD. It would draw in some more crowds of members. Hopefully.

That person would probably end up being overwhelmed and it'd be a non-success.

If I remember correctly we had 3-4 mods along with 10-15 members doing requests and it still wasn't enough. Eternity, UC, Christie, Insane, and Torn (I believe) all just about died. |

It's not just the volume of requests, the team got through a lot. You have to think about the attitude that comes with a good chunk of people who request stuff.

Not to mention that what the forum is reaching for, having a request board would put us further away from that.

A web-design community, not a custom resource area.

A web-design community, not a custom resource area. Hm. Is that a big step? |

Imagine trying to get 20 requests done a day on top of all the other work that you have to do.
Imagine trying to deal with members PMing you and harrassing you because the requests weren't "good enough" or they wanted something different.
Imagine members complaining about the lack of service and getting frustrated because their requests aren't being filled.
You might say "why not let the members fill the requests? A member-to-member thing?"
Believe me, it's been tried and it didn't work - requests went unfilled for pages upon pages because of the sheer amount of threads that were being created.
Think of the workload and think of the stress that's created.
Is it really worth it in the end?
I believe that it isn't.

Well, if you put it that way Kari, I can see way we're not going to do any more requests.  |

yeah believe me, it's exactly like Kari put it. people are really ungreatful, only about 1 in 20 people who's requests i filled actually said thank you.... and about 1 in 15 actually used the images they had requested. and as for the ones who complained that their images weren't right (usually because they had forgotten to mention something vital in their request) I can't even begin to count

Yep, to avoid the same things being repeated again I'll close this, it's one thing thats decided on. We will still have resources of course as a lot of people still come here for that, it's a big reason why many of the active members here today came here.
If you want some more reasons, then do a search of this forum, there's been a few huge topics in the past on this.
Locked.
