Hey everyone. Just wanted to let you all in on a little project i have been working on recently. For those who don't know i am currently working on a forum/web profile site called GRAPHICS2YOU.COM. This project is a partnership between myself and little J who you may know from around the forums here at GR. Basically we are in the last stages of setting up our forum mods ect, such as the credit system which has just been installed. The forum and main site are seperate from each other, the main site being a place for you to showcase your art work directly to prehaps a fture employer. Its kinda like DA but less cluttered and designed more to get you as an artists out there. Then ofcourse we have the site forum ( which i will be running ). We are going to have alot of events and really try and make it different to all other forums by making the credit system an independant currency that has a $ USD value. We will be hosting alot of cool event in the upcomming months eg. >>>>>>$5.00 USD SOTW<<<<<< + More TBA. Though i would love for you ALL to sign up and show some love thats not the only reason i am writing this. It is more to let you all know why you havn't seen any art from me in a few weeks, but as you can imagin i have been burried head first into the forum. Also i was hoping some of you guys would be able to contribute some PR/LR/ UR items to be placed around the forum. I know its a strain with the upcomming pack but anything you may have would be awsome, prehaps you can even venture over and post it up yourself. ? Anyways thats about it, for a indepth insight into the forum you'll just have to visit and see it when its all 100% wize bang done. ( also don't doubt my activity here, im still very much on top of the crews movements. )
"different to all other forums by making the credit system an independant currency that has a $ USD value. " gamerenders does that.... its just extremely out of balance because people undercut each other to get better deals. if you really want to do that, my suggestion is implement something to keep users from undercutting the exchange rate by more than a set amount, or have a tax on transactions to cover for it. gamerenders is supposed to be 1000 credits = 5 usd, but people sell like 30,000 credits (should be $150) for like 50 :/ anyways, good luck with it, i'll pop over at some point and say hey more but i gotta be spending time here for sotw and such so don't expect too much ^_^;;
Yea we are aware and will try and not make the same mistakes as GR has ( IMO ) with only some selected areas offering credits for posting ( the places that usually don't get attention. We are also taxing people to have shops ( not like O&R or Auctions . Other then that you can only earn credit by competing in our events and such. Oh, and also we have paid titles ( not mods ect ) but titles people can aim for in their competative GFX making areas ) Oh yeah and also we will be having set ammount of crews and members to thoes crews to cut down on crew swaping, but thats a while away yet. Cheers guys. Apprectate it alot. ( also i allready have 5 unseen anywhere else ever before tuts in the tut section. ) You'll all have to pop in and see.
I'll drop in. Can I suggest buying/selling credits to your members yourself? =P makes it so that the prices will stay relatively the same.
We have ruled that out for a while, to keep the credits worth earning. We will re-think this once we have a few active people.
