I know, it needs more care, but if they're all merged into one thread, it'll just get confusing and people won't know when or if someone has asked for one. They'll be 10 different threads merged into one. Like the current one now, that's why no one uses it.

There are loads of tutorials, if we do get a section, it could be made as a sticky for people in there.

Perhaps it can be a sub-forum in Suggestions & Help?
So it has it's own forum with it's own sticky's etc, but is not clogging up the main forum page?

100% agree. I thought that it could be a sub-forum, but I didn't know where. Maybe this could work better.

May be there needs to be three threads then:

1. graphics showcase - where people can show off there work and state they accept requests

2. graphics requests - where people can request work to be done by the person whose work they like.

3. graphics help and tips - where links to good tutorials can be posted as well tips, tricks and general advice.

All could be sticky threads in the help and suggestion section were the existing request thread is.

That would work better than what the current state of graphics is, Red. I still think sub-forum would work easier as there is so many different aspects of Helps & Tips that could arise from merging, the colouring, to blending and godknows what else.

Also, I think this could be a good idea because personally I have never got into PSP or graphics or anything because tutorials on the net don't allow you to ask questions etc - I think this would be a perfect addition to TiBB.

The real problem is the everyone will want a sub-section if we are not careful.

Well it depends on the idea really. Personally a sub-section for graphics seems like something that would work, and at the same time keep graphic related threads in the right place, rather then merging them all into one.

There's not many things people could argue a sub-section for.
Like Sticks' obituaries, that can't genuinely vouch for a full subsection because there's not much variation to announcing deaths, whereas where graphics is concerned - it's a huge topic area and interests MANY people.

Here are just a few and that is without thinking to much about it:

Flirting
Sport
Music
Console/Computer Games
Death Notices
Over 18 only
Under 18 only
Computing
Entertainment News
Movies
Theatre
Books
Cooking
Homework Help

May be we should experiment first like we are with sticks and see how things go and then review things later. After all only 3 people have really shown an interest in the subject since the thread was started.

it would be really good if over time we could expand the forum and end up with one big one with millions of members that can talk about everything from bigbrother to golf

I think it will always have a theme.... but the theme might change. After all Big Brother can't go on forever.

We have to look forward to the future.

Good idea :thumbs:

Keeps it all together.

Thanks Jay, and yes it would. Glad someone else agree's.

I think this is a brilliant idea. We have great sections on TiBB but a Graphics section would be an excellent addition - there are plenty of things that can be involved in it, such as requests, tutorials, general help and other things mentioned. Admin should definitely think about this and hopefully add another section! It'd make TiBB an even better and even more user-friendly (especially for newbies) place I reckon.

Ohh, more interest. :wink: Pretty much sums up why we should have one. Hopefully the admins agree. :bigsmile: It could also get a lot more people interested in graphics, from the tutorials and such. It'll come to even more use then.

Are we having one then?:conf2:

Yes are we please:hugesmile:

More people on MSN just told me it was a good idea. I really think it would sort the forum out.

Yey! I hope they give us one
There are banner topics everywhere and it will sort it out.

And I'm still waiting for an answer for my Showbiz section.. but that won't happen :joker:

I know, theres best banner maker threads, people posting all over the place for help and request threads. It'll fit fine in it'a own section.

Yea:thumbs:

And you and Gemma can help people use programmes

:laugh3: I know. And others. :tongue:

I think its a well good idea!

Yay, more interest. Hearing this admins. :whistle:

Of course! :tongue:

You can be TiBB's graphics teacher
