I'm sorry, I really am, I was one of the biggest advocates of keeping the forum in one piece, I loved the atmosphere, post a picture get a nice set of replies, hang out, talk about things, get time to thuroughly check out everyone's post.
Lately it's just gotten out of hand!
I can't spend more time on this forum than I do on sleep, it's just insane, something has to be done to curb the rate of posts. I'm sure everyone here feels the same.
here are some Ideas I have about fixing this:
Rework the forum, require at least one image per post, and require people to use a post more than once per image (if you fixed up a picture try and find the old post, and bring it back to life)
rethink the whole damn concept, does an open forum work as well for a sociaty of hundreds of artists as it did for tens of artists? maybe give each person a Gallery, and have updates per person, not per post (if spooge posts a new one, his name is on top, not a whole new post)
it's just an example of a new way to think about a forum, cus this is not what a message board was originally meant for,
it was meant for text, with each topic being used and reused, and not 5-7 replies per post and then let it fall to the 2nd page abysss...
I dunno, I just can't affoard to read all these posts it's just digging into my school and my life, and frankly I don't get as much out of it (pictures are repeating, drawclub stuff is posted in three diffrent posts, and reworked images do not deserve their own private show.)

that's just my oppinion I might be wrong. |
