Good point. That said, the site itself wouldn't be a place for people to download resources, as much as one for people to have them made for their projects. More like say, Freelancer.com than MFGG or GameJolt/Itch/whatever.

Thanks for your feedback! Yeah, you raise a good point there. If you've got a good personal network and are fine using internet forums to find help, you're probably not going to use this site if it opens.
If that's the norm in game development communities, I'll probably need to reconsider this idea.
