While that may be true to an extent, it may also be bad business for example what about people like me who get fed up with the crappy retail version of the game and their arsehole producers (/insert rant here) and want to finally be able to use the full potential of the software? Are you really going to shut them out entirely?
One may argue that the old community doesn't really need new talent to be awesome. Then again if you just go ahead and make it an entirely closed forum how do you choose who to let in? What are the criterias then? And more importantly, how do you get new people? Conversely if the requirements are too light it would be just like not having them.Ī contribution requirement to access the "private" part of the forum is an interesting idea, but that kind of defeats the whole purpose of keeping "spies" out, because you would still need to have a public section in which to share material that could get the whole thing shut down by itself. I understand the idea of selected members, but that could also backfire if the requirements to join the community are too strict it may stop its growth and a community that does not grow is a doomed community. Just spitballing here, but that seems like a fair way to do it. Even if newbies don't have the latest version that includes the coffeebar, as long as they have the PoseEdit room, they can still put together a tolerable pose of that which will eliminate a lot of tedium for established members who can then take this basic pose and fine-tune it to their needs. What kind of stuff should go on the "request" thread? Well, for example, anyone who uses the coffeebar room will probably at some point wish for a pose of someone sitting and drinking coffee. Newbies, by doing this "grunt work" and posting their efforts on an "audition" thread can make real contributions to the community and thereby earn their way in. Moderators can assign a point value to each request, depending probably on difficulty. Established members can maintain a "request" thread. I'll even go so far as to suggest a model for what that might look like in this context. I've had to earn my way onto closed forums before, and as long as the reward is worth it, I've never minded. Wait, did you guys have some alternate "Klub 70" forum up and going somewhere this whole time, or is that a euphemism for ?Īs for whether to require newbies to earn their admission, as a total newbie, I have to say I'm fine with the idea, as long as the bar is set realistically.
