BioRust, a happening place with happening people. Resources, forums, battles, and even a nifty gallery to display our art. What could possibly make this site better than it already is?

That's a question I've recently given some serious thought to.

Being here for some time now, enjoying the people, art, and general atmosphere of the site, I've often wondered, "what am I to do with all these credits?".

The resources section is great. Artists, like myself, get to upload some right on items, such as brushes, styles, and so forth. It's a plethora of Photoshop bliss for those looking to expand their artistic needs.

But what if, let's say, someone like myself creates their own resources and doesn't have any use at the moment with the available downloads?

Or, what if the resources available are "out of taste" for a specific need, or someone has "the whole set"?

This leads to the accumulation of many a credit, such as I have experienced.

This got me thinking, how about implementing a lottery of some kind where people may "purchase" items such as art programs, artistic literatue, art supplies, and so forth?

We could even have our own resident artists put their own prized work up for grabs, heck, even their own prized resources no one else has.

Whether this be a lottery, a point/purchase system or both, this could very well possibly open doors for the artists on this site, and newcomers would have more of a reason to stick around rather than create an account, make some posts, spend the credits, and leave.

I'd certainly like to see what my fellow BioRustiers think about this.
