I'm all for it, audre. In answer to a few of Slynky's points, I would say this: The forum would have to be designed for both high and low end critiques. Meaning, if a newbie posted asking for basic advice on what people thought, the mods would have tobe sensitive to that; while at the same time keeping peoples' rights to opinions. For instance, negative commentary should be perfectly acceptable, so long as it's constructive to the forum's goals. In the case of a post that wasn't acceptable, maybe the mods could work with the member who posted to have the post reworded, instead of just deleted. Also, I agree with the earlier point about gallery comments and application forum threads for slightly different reasons than those stated. I see a critique forum as being a place where people could ask for specific direction on the critique, that is unavailable in the general image commentary. I also think that such a forum would organize the other app-specific forums, by giving people a "cross-application" place to look for advice. For instance, if I want commentary and critiquing of one of my 3ds images, putting it in the 3ds max forum will limit me to only those views of 3ds users. I've found that the people who have often had the most benefit to my work in 3ds were Rhino and LW users, who likely would never even see the image in the 3ds forum. Just my thoughts. Paul
