Given how big the “my new fightstick” and template threads are, I was thinking maybe we should create a booru using booru.us to host all of these? That way we’ll have better tagging support and it will be a lot easier for people to find.
It wouldn’t be too difficult to get running if we had some volunteers to skim through the template thread (take 20 pages or so each) and upload the designs. Ideally we’d get the username of who posted the pics as well as any of the links to psd files or similar things.
I’d be willing to set up the booru and come up with ‘standardized’ tags in order to get the ball rolling as well as take my fair share of the pages.
with over 400 pages so far, breaking it down to people who volunteer you could do 20 pages in an hour prolly, lots of comments, maybe batches of 20 pages ?
Well there’s a little spot to leave a description, so I was planning on having links to mediafire or megaupload or wherever the PSD is hosted. I’d say the image they actually upload be a downsized version and then just have links to the hires jpeg/png, psd, and other useful information like creator and art sources.
This could also be a good place to compile all of the png renders/cutouts, but we would want to tag them as such.
Sounds good, I’d be in. Problem is the sheer number of dead links, as well as those who never posted a psd. But as far as just a repository of designs, it sounds good.
I’m going to set it up this weekend. I’ll start with the first 10 or so pages for now and layout some of the other stuff. You’ll probably be getting a PM from me and I’ll also post updates here.
We should obviously have blocks of pages “assigned” so we’re not posting the same images twice. Even with that, I’d imagine there will be duplicates, I’ve seen the same image posted a few times at different points.
@Ajunta: It’ll sorta be like that. My main goal is to get the template one working and after that (hopefully) gets adopted we’ll either make it more friendly to actually existing sticks or make a separate one.
