Re: sbbenhcs' corner of ruined toys
oh lee, please don't quit now... i'm beginning to genuinely enjoy this conversation.
there was a honest mistake made, a mistake based in 4.5 years of experience playing it this vat of passionate emotions that is skullbrain.
and when informed of this infraction, i remedied it as soon as i could get back to a computer (albeit in my own sarcastic and admittedly lazy
fashion). yet somewhere along they way, i became an entitlement case demanding an exception. that's what i don't understand. i only stated
that, based on past experiences and in the absence of any mention to the contrary, sales of customs in threads was not expressly forbidden.
i never compared my work to skinner's, or anyone else's for that matter, nor did i ask for the same treatment they received. i simply asked for
a reference, because there was new information... and i was perhaps missing something else.
so in order to resolve this, and any further disputes, may i suggest a faq/sticky specifically for the customs section? i'd willing take the time
to help craft it, and with it living and readily available in the very forum it covers, it would staunch the majority of issues likely to develop.
i'm not saying it has to be some grand, in-depth undertaking... but a simple collection of the combined learnings of the customizers here may
be quite valuable for someone not nearly as versed in the ways of skullbrain.
i was never looking to undermine the validity of customs nor question the opportunity to share them in this unique setting. and i'm sure that
(mostly) everyone that posts in this particular section of the forums does so from a positive and supportive, if somewhat critiquing, place.
we all know it takes a lot to bring forth a personal creative endeavor, and even more so to trot it out in front of the proverbial firing squad
here. maybe the addition of some written guidelines would entice more people to bring their work forward.
so there's a proposed solution to a problem, as opposed to introducing additional problems.
and here's a throwback thurday custom "mossy back" sloth n moth that i did for trueadrn last year, just to keep it topical...
