Author Topic: Art Board?  (Read 5333 times)

There has been some demand for a place to post crappy drawings, 3D models and whatnot.  How do you feel about having an art board in the off-topic section?

The danger here is the possibility of diluting the forums with too many boards, such that no one board gets enough traffic to be interesting.  Although the games board seems to be working well. 

Well, I have a quick question.
Would the art board just fall under drawings, or would music count too?

I think this is very needed, even though I would just look at it.

As a place to showcase creations. I dunno, I guess if it would be like a non-blockland related Gallery thing. That would work, yes.

I would like it. When I actually make something nice I could post it : D
Also, if people like Swholli and The Worm post in it I would be entertained

Could be used for people to show off decals and have them rated before posting in the decal section. Might keep garbage out of it.

I would look at it and use it. It would be something fun.

In terms of the Culture Advisor from CR, "Building an Art Forum in Blockland would raise your culture by 50% and raise your population by 1!" "Blockland has replaced Thebes as the world's greatest city, culture in Blockland flourishes." "A new settlers unit has appeared in Blockland".

The only downside I see to this is the people who would spam random crap pictures and MsPaint creations.

But this can happen in any other of our sub sections, they get flamed for it and learn to not do it again.
Having an art board would be awesome.

There are too many boards. Remove some and it will be fine.

What about we call it the Creations board? so videos, movies, music, art, etc. stuff like this would be able to have a certain spot on the forums.

Video is an art, as is music and such.

Get rid of community projects, imo.

Yes and consolidate the Modification discussion and Modification help boards, they basically see the same type of posts.
