I'm kinda fed up with the only activity in here being from someone requesting something. And so, I have a few suggestions. Not like they'll help/get implemented, but it's nice to rant sometimes.
First, change "Other" to "General", and place it first.
Other makes this forum sound like it is much less important than any of the other forums, while in reality most of the action happens here. And placing a General tab first will also help to show that it is, in reality, the most important tab here. Sorry requests, when you are "requesting" something it means the rest of us have a choice as to whether to even look at you.
Second, Merge requests and shops into one tab.
They kill each other, anyway. Suit the same purpose.
Third, entirely ditch the competitions tab.
They're already stickied in Other, it's a waste of space.
Fourth, get us a moderator.
Somebody, anybody. No one seems to stick around that long.
We take care of ourselves pretty well over here, but it would be nice to have that March Competition sorted out.
Fifth, feel free to place us last on the entire forum.
We don't mind being after the world forums. We'll understand. This is a gaming forum, and we're not your priority. Heck, I'm happy to have a forum and not be running all of this from OT. But I heard some people complain about GFX being up above the World forums and whatnot and whatchamacallit, so feel free to toss us to the end. It's not like we ever plan on leaving here, anyway.
Sixth, is it okay if we completely ignore the "images over 640x480 must be in a spoiler" rule (Or whatever it is (Sorry, haven't ever followed it myself.))? I understand why it's there, to prevent those with slow connections overloading their bandwidth, or something along those lines (I don't believe it would ever overload the server here, we're only redirecting a request to another site). But, if they're in a GFX section, those spoilers will be opened regardless of the image size, because the contents are worth it. I don't think it really makes a huge difference if the image is placed in a spoiler or not.
Seventh, can you remove the forced thread prefixes? Considering maybe Law and Dogu are the only potential regulars past Novice here, and I wouldn't call either of them Intermediate, the tags are fairly useless. Seriously, I hate tagging everything as Beginner, because I have no other realistic choice. Or, if you feel we need identifying tags, please, use a standard setup:
Beginner
Novice
Moderate
Intermediate
Semi-Professional
Professional
And, of course, each of those have a Low/Solid/High mark.
Well, I think that about sums up my rant/post. Now, it's 4 am here so I'm going to go back to trying to sleep.
Probably.
