  I think it would be a neat idea to get something like a featured artworks thread like in the Digital Porfolios? We all know that there are some really great artworks out there in the forum threads and many members just aren't capable of looking through all the threads and just tends to just look in a limited amount of threads so many of us miss out on such pretty artworks. Maybe a thread featuring artworks will get those artworks more loving?

I'm going to do some updating on this thread and sticky it. So if anyone has any suggestions, like that those who took part in the survey and answered to thread ideas, go ahead and post, and if I've missed some activety threads, just poke me and I'll add them here, I'll do those that I remember now 83

Don't hesitate to use this thread! x3

I got a little idea! x3

Continuing to borrow ideas from other forums XD

I believe many had herd of the interview thread? =3

Would that be intresting for anyone to take part in? x3

For anything in general or the interview thread? x3

I think it would kind of go it's own course, BUT to have someone to try and get others to take initative to do each others interviews (if they have said they would) couldn't do any harm. x3

If you're up to it, I'll send you a PM about the details of it so that yu could start a thread. =3
And if you're up to doing more, just pick a topic off the list and your help would be apriciated! x3

you mean sort of like the popcorn thread? =3

Buahaha, double posting 8D

I as wondering what people would feel about a thread, where the basic idea is to draw for each other?

Let's say a thread was made... there is a little description of what someone wanted drawn... Like lets say I would like a Sephy playing with his favorite spoon. The next person would doodle that (using as much time as he or she wants, no max or min time) and then they're allowed to make a little description of what they would like to see be drawn? =3

I think there should be a limit on how complicated a drawing gets since it's only for fun, and nothing serious x3

Each month there could be a little vote for the best drawing even?
that's not very important, just maybe a little boost to get people motivated to join in? 83

Sadly Sakura Chan won't be able to host the interview thread, so if anyone is up for it, jump out! 8D

Sweeet, do that again! 8D

That would be wonderful! Lurkers are welcomed to join in on the fun too! x3

I'll send you a PM ASAP! >83
