Off Topic. Pixelation need a tutorials section?

[I Am Uh]

Does anyone else here think that Pixelation needs a tutorial section, it would help out a lot of newcomers and pixel artists could show off what they know more. It would probably help me too.

[Godslayer]

Simply making a board wouldnt fill it with tutorials. Also, I doubt a tenth of this forum is qualified to make tutorials, if that.

[Gil]

We have a thread for that, what more do you want?

[AlexHW]

yeah, check this link: http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=222.0

[Takai Soyokaze]

Actually, I think hes right. A forum purely for instruction and bettering your self through learning and instruction. Maybe this could inspire some people to update what Tsugmo did way too many years ago.

[Gil]

Actually, there's something coming up that might be of interest, it's going to launch after the remastered challenge finishes...

[Peppermint Pig]

Whether or not the wiki gets rebuilt, I think this is a good idea, and I suggested it to the other admins (I mentioned it before I saw this thread, coincidence!! Nonetheless, I think this is good...).

[CrumbBread]

I always thought that posting work for CnC counted as bettering yourself through instruction =) Wouldn't a tutorial section amount to the same thing as the normal board, then, but with only beginners posting art there?

[Takai Soyokaze]

Actually Crumb, I think its the other way around.

[Indigo]

gil hit the nail on the head.  The Council has been planning something quite similar to this....just be patient a bit

[Dogmeat]

This has been debated about since swoo.net, someone always suggests this. Although I think tutorials are a great idea if you follow the challenges and activities people create on this forum, that is hands down, the best way to practice/learn technique.

Maybe if you're looking for something specific, you should ask, people here are friendly and helpful for the most part.

[Takai Soyokaze]

well, they need to let people make more challenges/activities, or at least have a formal way to apply

[robalan]

There is a formal way to apply: send a suggestion (preferably well thought-out) to any daijin, and they will bring it up to the other elected officials.  If it's a good idea, it will probalby see the light of day in the Challenges and Activities section within a few weeks/months.  Or, if you feel like being somewhat rebellious, you could follow in the footsteps of Scuba Steve, Faktablad, and Pawidge and just post a thread in the General Discussion forum.

We're working out a way to deregulate the activity creation process so everyone can post one. On the face of it, the solution ought to be simple enough: just let anybody create an activity. I'm probably going to suggest a postcount prerequisite, so people with some experience and sense will have that ability. It's not a completely free-for-all thing, but hopefully people can see the wisdom in that. 

[Xion]

I think a tutorial section would be pretty pointless. Not only does the aforementioned Tutorial thread have enough guides and tools to help practically anyone, but the post+critique process is much more efficient.

That plus what Gil & Indigo said.

SMF has Karma, you could always use that instead of a post count. Just a thought though
