SOTW + Reopening GFX

[Ryan]

@dave8411

You sir are wrong, we all left because there is no point in posting in the gfx section, due to the removal of the gfx team, now there is nothing to work for.
But i guess you have a point tho.

Please don't contribute to matters you don't fully understand. That might be your reason, but everyone is different.

Anyways, the majority of us, admins included, can agree that @Doc has proven time and time again that he's the best fit for leader of this section. We all trust his judgment and respect him as a person.

Agreed. Anyway I just got the news that I need to travel to Nashville for work. I might be away for anywhere from 2 weeks to a month.
Here is my vote for team:

Leader: Doc

Team:
Ryan
Kero
Kuro

I wouldn't mind getting in when I return.

Should have communal applications like Arun posted long ago. Members of MPGH and the Graphic section in particular elect their peers to be a part of the team.

Doc, what are you planning to do with SOTW in the meantime? You've let go of the most important thing here.

I think it would be good to get the graphics team back, because it would give some of the newer kids something to work towards once we get some traffic back.
We gotta do something else other than just the SOTW though. That alone doesn't seem like enough to keep consistent activity up,
and I know this has been something we discussed in the past. I was thinking of something along the lines of what Guild Inn used to do,
I know I've brought something like this up to Shayne before, and it never really got that far.

So basically graphics artists here that are interested would start out at Level 1 designer.
If they want to progress to the next level, they have to take on a project given to them by a gfx team member.
This would be cool for both parties, it would give the Gfx team member an actual JOB..rather than just doing jack shit,
And the gfx designer will have a chance to progress to the next level.
The projects from the gfx team member can vary from moderate to difficult,
it all depends on how high/low the designer is. For instance, a level 1 designer might be given the task to take on 3 requests from an MPGH user in the gfx requests section, in order to progress to level 2. There can even be a ladder thread that shows the name of the designer, what level they are etc.
The gfx team can either make badges for the graphics designer level, or maybe it can be implemented as a user tag?
I don't know..it's just an idea and something interesting to maybe give people more purpose to frequent the section.

With What you Said here its a good Idea with the leveling, but i was thinking maybe if we did a rotational thing and every Friday or Saturday night at a central time Have basic lessons that go for 1 hour to half an hour that teach people on mpgh that are willing to learn or try something new how to use the basics in photoshop how to use layers what is composition instead of a tutorial because from first hand experience i find some really hard as they are lacking in depth and with commentary or something mite be good?

I mean yeah that's cool and all but how could we even do that and who would be able to?

There are Live Stream programs that record Game play screens etc

[Kuro Tenshi]

:/ hmm mpgh-tv would have been great for this kind of situation... also livestream or vokle can use multiple cams without interferance with other people that want to cam up. (unlike systems like TinyChat). and using manycam/xsplit for screen recording.(free)

Livestream .. is p2p only


it could work like this but only if flash doesn't keep on bitching out like it does on my pc's, darn thing has been degrading ever since 9.xx +

Scheduling something like that, not to mention just organizing it is too much of an effort to put on ourselves at the start. Also, if there's not enough people participating, it's not worth the trouble. Yet.

Also, I came to post that I'll be unreachable until Thursday night. Headed to Florida for spring break.

There's no VIP right now, so no point in having it. Most of the turn up came from people who wanted VIP.

[Kuro Tenshi]

hmm most vids that might be recorded with live stream can be uploaded to yt ... maybe just maybe

Yeah i just thought of it as and idea because im sure most people would participate in SOTW if they new how to use photoshop ?

[shaheenster]

Some fresh new blood would do the place some good, seeing as they create more work and are more active

A full out team of old members would accomplish much

We need to make a picture and advertise it by putting it in other sections and or Sigs.

[Paradox]

I think we should just wait for a cf vip hack to come and out and that way we could advertise more and get alot of traffic from the cf section. This way we'll have a good start, then on we'll think of ways to not enter sotw for the zp.
