    It sounds like a good idea, but it should be a premium resource section. All lower skill common resources should be free, and the more higher quality resources should be for the one off fee.

    That is what it is for..higher quality resources, which is why it would cost you 1k+ creds to look in there....this will be bought from the shop which is how the credits will be taken from the forum.

    I/the mods/admin, just needs to discuss what the price will be if this is accepted :)

    While the idea itself is a kind idea...here is the flaw...

    We have 3 different resource sections already. The regular resource section, the premium resource section, as well as the donators resource section. Why can't we just use those?

    What your suggesting, is no different then posting them in the already established sections really. We should put those 3 different sections to use. Not add a fourth resource section.

    Two of those sections already cost money/credits as is, and people still dont post some of their best work in there.

    Pfft what a logical thing to say :rofl: ...anyways I think kirbir brought up a good point but it is sort of like communism. The idea is great and in the big picture it sounds amazing, but you can't change how people act. No one is going to post their best resources or best tags because they always want the upper hand on everyone else and if its any good the chances of it getting it whored on this site are big. So again, great idea, just not probable.

    BUT the current system dosn't take nearly as many credits out as it would this way.

    Taking more credits out of the system is already being discussed.

    I think it could still work.

    Ok if myself and a few others put our credits together and manage to get alot of awesome things i think this would be worth a shot. Just removing credits from posting will not do much as there would still be ALOT of credits on the forum, so really that doesnt help much.

    If i CAN do this are you guys willing to try? I have a few people who will already do this for me :)

    hmm i could try getting some Templates

    but i especialy think that here are a lot of people who can“t make 1000 creds like you or somebody else i think it should be lower cause others are also saving 1000 credits for Premium for example ;)

    I will have to discuss the price with shaggy if this is to go through, but this sub-forum would be full of great things...so im just hoping that this will be made :)

    I still don't understand why you can't use the Donator or Premium resource forums...we have 3 resource forums as it is. It just doesnt make sense to add another when we have three already, and again, two of which you can buy access to.

    Because this would be filled with resources people wouldnt normally just post for free...i have a few things already for this and people who are willing to help me...but if this doesnt go through i will probably make a pack with the things i have now :)

    I think we should give it a shot. This gets credits out of the system, where as donater isn't avivable VIA creds (AT THE MOMENT) and most people buy prem with money, or have osmeone else pay with money since it's cheeper.
