Don't get me wrong. I fully support having a separate forum just for graphics. My concerns are with the concept of it being run off of the 400 boards. I have no problem with that except that if 400 studios is really interested in people that request and make graphics for their games then they should be willing to do what it takes to clean up the forums if that is what they want to accomplish.

Your ideas are worthy of consideration and a step in the right direction. However, 400 studios should step up to the plate and not require you to do so for them. If you were to run a separate site on top of 400 studios doing what they can to help with organization then that would be even better. That way if anything ever happened to you and your site disappeared then everything wouldn't be lost. The fact is that 400 studios is making a lot of cash off of this franchise and therefore is guaranteed to keep the forums up and running much longer than someone who is just doing it for fun.

This is the same way that I feel about sites along the lines of OOTPLinks. It is an excellent site and a great addition to the community. But 400 studios should have already had a section of their website that accomplished the same thing. We will all be back at stage one in the event that the OOTPLinks site ever goes down without having another resource to rely on for our desired organization of OOTP material.

400 studios, please come up to bat on these issues and expand your website using your vast capabilities to finally establish a modification as well as a general link directory.

Also, a graphical image gallery would be really nice as well. Someplace that members can view already completed graphics before making the 100th request for the same thing.

BTW, I haven't voted yet because I thought a discussion would help me decide more confidently.
