Watch as SengirDev reiterates that a Jobs section is needed then goes off on a tangent:
The Requests section is exactly that, a request section. The definition for "request":
This implies that this part of the forums is for people to do things as favors, not for money. It should be called the jobs section, as that is much more appropriate. And this should apply to textures, 3D models and sounds, not just sprites. A requests section should be placed in either all of the resource sub-forums or in middle ground. Oh wait, there is no middle ground. You guys wanted to expand into other forms of game resources? Then don't half-ass it. A reboot of the forums might not just be a "good idea" as much as it might be "necessary". The majority of the users on tSR are obviously spriters. Not composers, modelers nor texture designers. Those that can't sprite yet create other resources have no place here. You can't have one leg on a dock (sprite resource) and another on a boat (vg resource). The boat is going somewhere, and the dock is just holding you back. Soon you'll just fall in the water.
Building upon how 1up organized the "VG Resource Community":
Also "spriters" resource is now just dumb. You have "models", "sounds" and "textures". It should seriously be "sprites" by now.
Anyways, sorry for rambling~
