    Just think it would make navigating that chaotic forum a lot easier. Was thinking something like:

    Premium Renders
    ->Non Gaming Renders
    ->->Actor/Actress/Model
    ->->C4D
    ->->Movie related (characters pretty much, like batman/spiderman)
    ->->Anime
    ->->Wildlife
    ->->Everything Else

    so on and so forth, it's just crazy chaotic to go into those forums without always having to resort to using the search function.

    I understand what you're getting at but we don't to overdo it on categories. Besides that, it has been proven that most people don't even look at subforums (god knows I have had to move around quite a few topics in there)

    But, it's a suggestion worth considering. Anyhow, if it got accepted, it will be applied in the new Gr (v4). Don't think the changes will happen now then.

    probably would make things a bit easier in the long run tho,
    first coming here I honestly thought it would be more organized just because of the site name (no not complaining)
    if you do put this into effect on a new version include a misc sub. and then maybe institute a rule where as if its mis posted its deleted
    ...that would tend to get folks paying a bit more attn. ^.~

    All of those categories was pretty much just to show what I'd like to possibly see done, not all of them have to be implemented, just looking for a more organized/user friendly render section. Also I understand that this is more likely to happen in v4, which is kind of why I brought it up.

    current mods wouldn't really have the time to sort through the thousands of renders placed in the wrong sections. as it is, with just two sections most are in the wrong section and nothing is done about it.

    lol have to say Totally see the point there, however in GRV4 you could put them all as archives and start fresh,
    just makes it much more user friendly, especially as even a search doesn't always bring results depending on how the image has been named.
    Nice to know you all look at these things tho ^.~

    Actually, we did. When I came aboard as community staff, Havoc, r3m1x and I cleaned out everything. We deleted every render topic that didn't work and also moved everything into the correct place.
    If new section were to be made, it would take a lot of time again, but we could do it though ^^

    then I stand corrected.

    I spent one night doing that a bit backa nd it takes forever, probably only moved around 200-300 threads in that night before I got bored with that and started doing other random stuff but ehh that's in the past now.
