Well I guess this idea is just a blue sky project and wont go anywhere. Unless any other objections occur I'll just wipe it from memory of SMC. I guess I should have pushed more on it but I like to let things go their own route and see what happens.

well until now you haven't set the subforums for the project so why give up on it before you have launched it? i don't get it exactly.

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
  • Salvaged Messages
• 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
  • Donations and Requests
• Work Area
  • Work in Progress
  • Rendering
  • Finished Work
  • Background-Sized
  • Contest Forum
• Reference
  
  • Costume
    
  • Environment
  • Vehicle
    
  • Textures and Materials (moved from Donations and Requests)

  • Video Tutorials (moved from Donations and Requests)
  • Animation

  • Rendering
  • Texturing
    
  • Vehicle

  • Unfinished Projects for Download
  • Vehicles
  • Parts Upload

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
