sluggo2u 32 Posted April 8, 2014 That's a very impressive result for the amount of time it took you! Many would consider that a done deal. Looking forward to the cleaned up version. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vermonster 111 Posted April 8, 2014 So, I've been a member on this forum, SignForums, and a few other forums. One thing remains consistent. Any site that hosts an area where people can request vectors, you have a couple things that remain the same from one forum to the other 1. You get some folks who look at it as having a free graphic design company at their disposal 2. You get some folks who look at it as reducing the need to learn things and increase their skills 3. You get some folks who don't want the forum to come off as unhelpful and are always donating their time and skills just to keep harmony 4. You get some folks who see that, and say something about it (rightfully so) and then a brawl ensuesI can say that this is without a doubt the nicest ending to a conversation like this I've seen, and it shows what types of folks are 'round here Having said that, I'm not coming back into the game at 100%. It's going to take some time to get back in my groove, but I have a suggestion. 1. How about donations after XX amount of fulfilled requests in XX amount of time. Everyone's time is worth something. I'm sure you don't want to turn the boards into a Vectorizing Business, but maybe a donation could be made to the person who spends 30 minutes or an hour working on someone else's artwork that in many cases, they're getting paid for 2. How about hosting some online/conferences geared around training people with some of the more commonly used graphics programs showing them how to do some basic things such as tracing, cleanup etc. It could be advertised a month or so in advance, and people can sign up for it. 10 bucks admission for an hour or two of training by some of the vets around here. When I was starting out I definitely would have paid 10 bucks to learn some stuff Maybe there are legitimate reasons why NONE of this would work, and that's fine, but seeing the same thing through the years, from one board to another I just figured - There's got a be a better way to get folks help, and to help folks get better. This isn't directed at anyone in particular, but really more in general - so NOBODY should take any offense to what I'm saying here. I know in years past, I've done some tutorials around here on different things - which are largely outdated, but some of the stuff can easily be updated too...Just my .02 cents since my plotter showed up and my 2 yr old has me watching Despicable Me instead of setting it up 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
