Guest Downhome Report post Posted July 29, 2002 I feel that it would benifit the forum as a whole, if Testing Grounds was changed over to a Graphics board. People could go there to request banners, avatars, etc... and we could make them for each other, or just simply showcase what we can do. We could have graphic tournys and the such also, and WOULD become quite popular. It could still be the place for people to test things, but come on... ...an entire forum JUST for testing the board? That might have been of use when this place first opened up, but it's time to but that board to better use, and I feel my idea will work out great, and if you don't believe me, then click here for a taste of what could become very much "over" here at TheSmartMarks! Yes, Testing Grounds = SmartMark Graphics! Sincerely, ...Downhome... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest areacode212 Report post Posted July 29, 2002 This may be a pretty cool idea, actually. A lot of boards have graphic showcase/banner request forums, and the Testing forum is just kinda sitting there. Maybe I'll do it later (I have work to do). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest admin Report post Posted July 29, 2002 I think it sounds pretty good to. However theres a couple problems, i have a similar idea on another forums, which i admin and they drain space like theres no tommorow. They maxed out the server within 2 months. If we do this on this board shall we let users upload their pics? or shall they need to find a host? If we do let them, we will prob clean it out monthly to keep the size usage down to a decent size. Whats everyone think? Maybe we should just create a board under pop-culture called arts/graphics/etc. and use that so we can still have a place for people to test things out. However its left open to dames to decide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted July 29, 2002 If we do this on this board shall we let users upload their pics? or shall they need to find a host? No, just change Testing Grounds, and do not let them upload here. There are plenty of "free" places out there to upload graphics. I believe one is NetFirms and I'm sure there are plenty of others out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest areacode212 Report post Posted July 29, 2002 No, I don't think they should upload here either. Let them find their own pic hosting places (Ranchoweb is another good one). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest admin Report post Posted July 29, 2002 Ok, it sounds like we will need to create a small list of free hosting companies for this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Thunder Report post Posted July 29, 2002 Sighost is a good place for members to host their banner and avatar. I think it only allows 3 images to be uploaded, but that's fine for someone who just needs to hot their banner for this forum. B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest crandamaniac Report post Posted July 30, 2002 Can you also put all the caption threads in the NHB folder in there too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest KingOfOldSchool Report post Posted July 30, 2002 Why? The caption threads have nothing to do with testing, banners, creating graphics etc etc. It's just a mindless bit of fun that's usually about wrestling anyway, so they fit better in NHB. Besides, they'll clog up the folder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
