I know I'm resurrecting a long dead topic here, but in this case I'd say it's a good thing. This forum needs people and action!

Now, what I wanted to propose was a forum entry dedicated to Fan art. I am willing to populate it.
For starters, here's a thing I did a few months back:

will come with more when I have the time.

We have a dedicated fan art section on the main website and I have also imported it all into wordpress so it makes publishing fan art & other content much easier. I would have to put it into a new page on arokhslair.net for you as only an admin can add pages however there are other options.

One is the forum topic as you mentioned and the other is publish articles on the main site - you can drag & drop images into your post or upload. You would have to sign up for an account which only allows comments but I could upgrade your account to author which allows you to post articles. I could then put the said image(s) onto a permanent page at a later date when we get a few.

The main site is http://www.arokhslair.net

I'd say we go for a dedicated forum topic, as the Forum gets more attention and traffic (I guess). We can make a topic, like a gallery for example, where users can post their work. No?
Posting as articles would only get people's attention for a limited time after which the new entries would bury the old ones. In a topic on the forum, however, people would have easier access. IMHO.

Yes you could do that if you want then I could put the collection on a page on the main site. The forum does not accept large attachments so you may have to store them on an external site and link to them. The forum does have the easiest access like you say.

As for traffic, looking at my server logs the main site gets the most traffic but many come from there to the forum. The forum for Blade of Darkness is the busiest especially seem as BOD has been released on GOG and someone put a link to my forum on there. As for the Drakan specific traffic its difficult to say yet due to the recent site changes.
