This seems to be a popular topic lately so I figured I give you my views on the subject. I think that maybe you should bring the whole request idea back, but do it diffrently. Maybe you can make a special "Request Team" and they would make the request. The other thing I would suggest is to have anyone who wishs to make a request have a min. amout of post or something of the sort.
This is just my idea/suggestion...

Link"Why don't you have a request board? / You should bring back the request area. Our stance is highly unlikely to change on this, mainly due to the amount of abuse such a service generated. "

While I think there should be requests, this topic has been brought up many times with the same response. Virt and I repeatedly asked Ollie for 30 minutes over MSN, but no success.

30 Minutes? I'd say about 2 hours. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) This has been brought up time in and time out. I personal feel the staff are being too arrogant denying it completely, but oh well.

There are many problems in doing graphic requests and it's not really helping SSD at all. It would take up most of the time of the staff members that would need to do it (unless of course, you got a special crew, like you said). As many people have said, people just come and go when they ask and get their graphics. Yes, that gets more members but really, is that making a difference? Not really. In my opinion SSD should be focusing on more than what it is now. Maybe start some new trends and bring new ideas to what it is now to make it bigger. There are way to many graphic design and request boards these days. Anyways, that's just what I think. Don't get me wrong, it was nice having the graphic requests section for a while but, I myself helped members with it and it did get annoying especially when the user did not like the finished product and decided not to use it. Anyways, that's all I'm going to say for now. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

The answer is no to this. We had it for the first two or so years of this forum and it was quite successful. But it just is not worth it. You do stuff for people and rarely get as much as a thank you. The members that are usually gained aren't worth the time we put in it. If we don't fill a request, there are complaints.
The majority of those who want it (read: majority) were not active members in the times of the Staff run request board or the Member to Member request board. Very few people even know the latter of which existed and failed miserably.
So to put it frankly, don't get your hopes up. Not happening
