Any chance of a wallpaper board?  I know many of us furs WANT wallpapers, and it'd be nice to have a baord JUST for such posts...  Plus, it'd encurage some photoshoppers to let their skills shine, too!

Seconded.  I have many very cool wallpapers from 4chans wallpaper boards.

I will take it under consideration.

I need to consider the effect of people out there trying to slip DNP works in there. Also need to consider how that fits under the "Unauthorized Alterations" concept.

Thoughts?

*mini wall of text*
well people can be touchy regarding things like that - even if its just dropping a charecter into a nice even black background and placing it so there is room for desktop icons.
so it would be very touchy grounds - id not mind anyone making desktops from my various works - im rather permisive tho.
id think it would violate the unathorised edits. perhaps if there were guidlines - the artwork may not be line or colour altered and can only be placed in such a way as to be used as a desktop- see id think just applying commen scence would make clear how to do such - but sadly both myself and other people dont seem to subscribe to same news.commen.scence
dosent mean im right always either. so just saying use ones commen scence wont work.
hmn this sounds like ive just spouted a lot of hot air *chuckle*
hopefully this gives you and the others some food for thought.

put wallpapers in the regular boards. no DNP problem, no Unauthorized Alterations problem. also, there'll be no questions like "can we have an /f/m/h/s/etc wallpaper board?"...

You might make it artist only thus sidesteping the alteration issue but that might severly limit the contributions.
Or create a seperate DNP list just for the board.
Both fix a lot of problems but may kill the board.

True, but some artists might also LIKE that some of their pics were turned into desktops, and start to encurage the fur to do more.  Y'know, for pay sites or whatnot.  Or they might start making them themselves, to plug their sites.  Many possibilities!  But then, I'm optomistic.  The main reason I don't like wallpaper threads in the MAIN boards is they either can't really find a place to rest or they quickly skid off the board from people just saving & letting it go on.  I dunno, I trust the admins would know what's best.

But then you run into that argument of an opt out system rather than an opt in one.

I feel that this thread is mostly about whether or not a board should be allowed in the idea that people will edit pictures into a desktop background.  Now, this site has a pretty nice system when it comes to the DNP list and allows us to see some rare art from time to rime.  However, while posting pictures that dont belong to you, unaltered, is not that bad a thing, especialy if your just trying to have fun sharing nice art.  But altering a picture is another matter entirely.  I personaly feel that allowing users to alter pictures without the artists permission is a bit extreme.

However, if the thread is for nothing more than art that is already a background that people would like to have posted here to share.  Thats not really a bad thing at all.  In fact itd be pretty cool to be able to find some nice wallpapers to see.  And then that category can follow the rules of the rest of the site.

All in all i think its a nice idea, but im a bit worried that such a category will ultimately end up like the Banner one.  In which it just end up with a bunch of users posting pictures theyve made, or altered, to be placed as a banner.  Which isnt a bad thing, but some artist may become flustered if their art is altered, even if its just adding more background to make it big enough to fit.

Also, pictures could be posted that would look nice as a bacground, even if its stretched by windows itself to fit.  Or just centered.  Which could be fun to see.
