Watch out!!!

This is awesomeness!

I sent a ticket to HCS yesterday to add a new subforum section for Avatar Auctions.

Seems like they accepted!

Look under item trading section.

Board ain't openned yet but watch out when it will!

Woohoo!!!! I sent a ticket after a discussion I had with DD :)

dang Roan! We need you to send tickets in if we want things done fast then. :lol:

Awesome! I look forward to seeing it open as sifting between shops, contests, CnC (not sure what that stands for still), and auctions can be a pain. :D

Yeah, it will clean up this graphic section a bit :)
I always lose track of contests because of the auctions going around...

And CnC is for: Comment and Critic :D

Whoo!!! Now the graphics section itself is mainly for the artists and the auction section is for all potential buyers.

While it does say "Avatar Auctions" shouldn't we also move all of our shops over there? Then buyers wouldn't need to move back and forth to find someone to make something they want.



3 Cheers For Roan!!

Imo, shops should stay here.
Cause it's a great show off of there work everytime they create something new :)

Also, with the auctions gone, it will be easier to find a shop :)

Hmmm true, but we could just have Artist Showcase topics in this forum as well as an active shop in the other one. Now that the new sub-forum is in the trading section more people are bound to look for shops over there since the title of those sub-forums implies transactions.

Or sorta like the rate the signature above you topic, we can have a "Critique the work above you" sorta topic. Instead of rating it by a 1-10 scale we could just trade CnC with each other. this would be in the current "Graphics" forum.

I am actually disappointed. As someone who frequents the shops to look at work but at the same time, while I am browsing the graphics, will open up autions to see what people are offering. Thats actually how I run into most auctions. I get nosy and want to see recent work so I run through the graphics section. I actually don't want to spend money, it is my curiosity that does me in with bidding. I am going to find it to be a real pain to have to go to a completely different section to buy. Not sure if this will slow down my buying power but, I would suggest you send me a link to your auction if you want me to take a look because now that they aren't in graphics, I may not pay as much attention to them :?

Nice! It will clean up the Graphics forum. When I would look for shops, they would be 2-3 pages back because of all the Auctions. This will help. :) Maybe they will add a place for Avatar Contest. 0.0

I fail to see how this will be a pain.
It's really not that hard, Kay. :)
Bookmark it and you can run through it whenever you feel like it. Or you can leave it open in a tab and refresh when you want to see what's new. (the last one is what I do. lol)

What would be a pain would be to log on to FS and find that you had dozens of messages from people saying they had auctions going. :P

I realise this will only be a pain for me. I am just whining. I won't probably browse that section often. As it is now, I only pull up one link at a time. I can not bookmark it at work (where I get on the forum's the most) and I dont go looking to buy graphics usually. I end up buying because I can't help myself once I see something I like. I just think if I don't see the auctions when I am browsing the graphics looking at contests and work that I won't get look at the other section completely seperated from graphics. But again, I am just whining
