Test Forum...Digital Art Forum?

[1024]

I pitched this idea to Hamma a while back, but he wasn't very interested.

Transforming the Test Forum into a Digital Art Forum. All new sig shit would be posted there. All discussion about Digital Art could go there.

The reason i've thought of bringing it up again, is because recently i've gotten quite a big wave of PM's from people asking me about various things in Photoshop or about Digital Art in general. I wanted to get some of this stress of me being the guy everyone goes to for questions that need answering. Honestly, when i answer you i'm guessing 75% of the time. I'm completly self taught, so i do what makes sense to me.

What do you guys think? Transformation good, or no?'

edit: shit, this was supposed to be a poll...whatever. :shrug:

That'd be pretty cool, give the forum a bit more of a purpose.

[Dharkbayne]

sure

[Hezzy]

i concur

[EineBeBoP]

Absolutally.
Very good idea

[Neon Apocalypse]

Great idea. I support this, maybe a petition would work. We could also have SOTW competitions. Of course it woulld all come down to a 3way between Flak, 1024, and OMA. It would still be nice to see what they could pump out.

don't ask 1024 for a sig, he takes 7+ months to make em (and counting...)

As for the digi art forum, well, that's up to Hamma

[Onizuka]

I don't see why not.

Although it doesn't neccesarily mean that you can't submit sigs as a piece. :)

[Khronos]

im all for a digi art forum,
but i can think of 3 particular reasons why Hamma would not turn it into one..

[1024]

please share them.

[Khronos]

umm maybe umm

1) more threads and might pose bandwidth/storage increase? (not sure)
2) not planetside related at all
3) hassle of setting it up? mods for it?

these may not be legitimate at all..

i do hope we get a digi art forum though ! :D

[Dharkbayne]

And the lounge is Planetside related?

I'd mod for it. Doubt Hamma would ever let me near a mod position though. :D

[worldvengence]

i would mod...hahaha fat chance of that happening either

I doubt bandwidth/storage is a problem...
theres multiple threads here not PS related.
a bit of a hassle, but not much. i dont think finding mods would be a problem. Heck, i and many others would do it in a heartbeat.

[Khronos]

id mod it as well :thumbsup:

the number one issue i thought was bandwidth/space..but i really dont know how much forums take up so that is probably nothing at all..

[1024]

This thread is not allowed to die until Hamma posts in it, telling us his opinion.

good idea

[1024]

bump.

[Indecisive]

Sure. As of now, people dont even use the test forum for testing. They use the lounge.

I could take a few sig requests as well, though I'm nowhere near as good as 1024,Flak, and OMA

I think it's a good idea. I just got a Wacom pen tablet and I'm just itching to put it to use :D.

I'd be willing to mod for the forum too. I do quite a bit of stuff with photoshop, I know a lot about Macromedia Flash (including it's scripting language. If you say you know Flash but you don't know the scripting language, then you don't really know Flash). I also know a bit about Fireworks (excellent vector and bitmap graphics application) and I dabble in just about every aspect of web and graphics design there is to dabble in.

BTW, bandwidth won't really be an issue since people won't be hosting their images on the PSU server(s) and normal text forum posts use very little bandwidth. It wouldn't really be much hassle to make the new forum either. It takes less than 5 minutes to setup a new forum section in vBulletin.

[Hamma]

Doubtful.

[Onizuka]

Doubtful.

...why?

Please don't say because. :lol:

[Hamma]

Test forum works fine :p post your art here, i dont care.

[Dharkbayne]

Just change the name to "Image forum" or something, :)

[1024]

Test forum works fine :p post your art here, i dont care.I'm not looking at this as an artwork forum, im looking at it as a general digital art forum. Not only will people be able to psot their artwork, but also ask questions about Photoshop and other Digital Art Programs. Trust me, theres quite a few questions out there, i get a lot of them via PM.

Please reconsider.

and for so reason it wont let me edit my first post, so...
