Hi everyone, mind if I ramble? Okay here we go.
I was sifting through some old files the other day and the realization came to me..."holy crap, I've got alot of stuff"! I do from time to time tend to go on download binges. It starts out looking for something specific and before I know it I have accumulated a ton of files or stumbled across other really neat stuff such as Kururu. So, while looking through the myriad of disks that I have (we're talking 150+) I found that there were things that I downloaded from years ago and had forgotten about and that can't be easily be found anymore. The sad part is that some of the files are so old that contacting the authors can be frustrating beyond belief since alot of the old email addresses are no longer valid.
But more than finding old downloads I have found that over the past few years or so I have created quite a bit of characters, props and such. A good example is that Retro-style hover scooter that I recently put in the freebie section. Or even the Body building Posette. I have a Posette that I created years ago that has over 40 different character morphs for the face alone that I still use but have never shared. So just using that I could make over 40 separate posettes...and still I have more! Now I look back at some of my early work with props and modeling and I begin to think to myself, "Hey, I'll bet that some of my friends at PosetteForever would like these." So what I'm thinking of doing is cleaning up some of my old stuff, perhaps do some revamping and updating on others and putting them up for those of you that may be interested...time permitting of course.
Here is a suggestion for Tormie, maybe we could have a area in the Freebies section and give it a name such as "The Junk Box" for items that members have made over the years but never posted anywhere before. Maybe there could be a "Prop Challenge" or a "Morph Challenge" or a "Texture Challenge", etc.
Now I don't think that I'm the greatest creator out there but I don't think I do too bad either. But if you have any characters, props, etc. that you have made ask yourself this question, "I wonder if my friends would like this?"
Just food for thought.
See ya in the funny papers!
