Sooooo, I hope you guys take the time to read this-
1) The old forum was actually NOT intended for request threads. If you READ the description of the forum, it is for artists OFFERING free services, it does not say that it is a place for people to beg for art. So the new forum is actually the same thing, just a fresh start.
2) Begging for art/deltas is not allowed on chat, begging for art/deltas should not be allowed on the forums.
3) IT LOOKS BAD if you buy an expensive character, and immediately beg for free art of it.
4) Wolfhome tries to promote a GIVING atmosphere as opposed to a TAKING atmosphere.
5) Artists who are actually looking to do something nice for their fellow users here would prefer that their threads not get buried by 10 begging threads in the span of a day.
6) If there weren't so many begging threads, there would be more giving threads, and the gifts would likely be dispersed more evenly.
7) GIVING MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD, try it. :)

I'm extremely excited for this upcoming board, because I usually love making art for free and surprising people! x] Specially on my free artsy-time when I'm browsing through threads of new members who need art, or for references that inspire my juices.
To make things less confusing and without changing much, why not rename "Free Colouring/Shading/Grayscaling/etc." to "Free Requests" instead of deleting/replacing it, change the description/rules, and just transfer threads that "give back" to the new board/sub board? I know it's sounds confusing, sorry, but I think it'll be easier in the long run.
For the most part, many points stated here have been good and nevertheless I'm still excited for this new board! ^_^

The whole point is to get rid of people asking (begging) for free art. Instead it's people offering to do art. Remove the take and replace with give, to put it simply. It's easier just to start over since the old thread is so overrun.

I feel like its still a begging atmosphere either way.
People thrive on free art and as soon as you post the 'wanter' is going to pester the 'giver'. When is mine done. When are you starting this.
I get pestered for the FREE art I owe #WHLogic
Either way, this seems like the same old forum, just a *fresh* start to the race for free art.

Just dont forget to move 'References' somewhere since its a subform and certainly misplaced under a "free art" sectionSaebre wrote:well it's an effort in the right direction instead of just throwing our hands up and not dealing with it. (: we are taking on more work in the hopes that we can keep the begging to a minimum. thank you for the concern though(8

Lets try to look at this in a positive light. It's much nicer.
Also, it's much different when someone says "Hey, I want to do this for you, post away!" then someone saying "OMG NEW CHARACTER I WANT NEW ART!! bump bump bump my thread then get mad when no one posts anything." Yes, I made the second sound horrible on purpose. That's what we're avoiding.
And, no, I don't point fingers on anyone. It's just what I hear. :)
