stepping in to give what i think we should do for a resource reorganization.
there's two major components to what i had in mind. the first one is adding additional community feedback to submissions that don't meet the "standard" MFGG would set for itself. basically, all submissions should go through some designated queue area that is visible to users, allowing them to provide thoughtful feedback before being sent directly to the main queue. things accepted in the main queue would be placed in the "database" where all accepted submissions go, and if declined they would likely return to the community area for further feedback and direction. whether this community area is the forums or not i haven't decided, but either way it'd be good for both the community to help eachother work to make good content for the site, as well as understand what MFGG is/isn't looking for in regards to fanmade content.
the other part of this is about rips. i think we should try to team up in some capacity with tSR to share mario game databases, so that way we can look to get the best rips we could possibly achieve for both websites. the rips themselves would no longer require credit, because nintendo made them, not the ripper. furthermore, the now clean databases can be used for future sprite reference and tutorials for budding spriters to understand how certain sprite styles "work" and things nintendo does right and wrong in their sprites. this could also be applicable to other resources like music, sounds, etc
i'm assuming that we'll be going forward with adding databases for stuff like romhacks, fan music, and fan art, as discussed in
this thread.
