you'll get a half-and-half objection from me.
On the one hand, I love the idea of having such a tutorial concept as this...
but on the other hand...
...
it seems like, and this is just my opinion, it might be better off to have a tutorials section. Rather than having a tutorials subsection tucked away under donations and requests... why not just make an all-out Tutorials section? There could be a sticky/announcement that would show up in any sub-forum, which would give the naming conventions for the threads... such as "Video - Blueprint box setup (3dsmax)"
and then the subforums would be categories
so basically, my vision of what would be 'cool' is:
- Salvage Area
- Main Site
- News and Events
- Announcements
- VIP Access
- Work In Progress VIP
- General Discussion VIP
- General Chat
- Test
- Discussion
- General Discussion
- Car Discussion
- Offtopic Discussion
- Work Area
- Work in Progress
- Rendering
- Finished Work
- Background-Sized
- Contest Forum
- Reference
- Costume
- Environment
- Vehicle
- Textures and Materials (moved from Donations and Requests)
- Tutorials
- Video Tutorials (moved from Donations and Requests)
- Animation
- Character
- Environment
- Rendering
- Texturing
- Vehicle
- Plug-in Specific
- Tutorial Requests
- Downloads
- Unfinished Projects for Download
- Vehicles
- ETC.

This would do the trick, right? Rather than having one thread which would get so large it's unusable?
--I say unusable because for some reason, the search function only seems to display threads that contain your search term(s) ... I haven't ever been able to actually pull the individual post where it actually found that word being used. Maybe I'm just missing something. But if that's actually the case, then I certainly would hate to search a never-ending thread for something that's only mentioned once within it.
But yeah, that's just what I think would be cool to have. Not sure everyone's up for moving around all that stuff, and having so many new sections like that though
