Okay.
So ever since GBProps was started there have been problems with the Prop system on the site. Basically (since it was the only option on the site) people would upload things to their "Props" that were not props.
It started with Ecto-1 models from Polar Lights. Basically, since they were models of the Ecto-1.. people should upload them there.. right? No.
Then it started to happen with other things. Namely the "Other Props" section. People did not understand that it was for "Other Ghostbusters Props". Currently the Other Props section is home to things like Ghostbuster Tattoos, a Real Ghostbusters Lunchbox, a Back to the Future DeLorean (which is really cool) and even pictures of Mattel's Egon Action Figure. But needless to say.. none of these are "Other Ghostbusters Props" and I have no idea why they are being posted.
I have been pulling my hairs out for years over this.
So here is what I am thinking. When the Prop section began to get overrun by Art.. we added the art section. Now that the Prop section is once again being overrun.. this time by Collectibles.. why not expand there?
Basically. Everyone has a cool collection, and I would like to start allowing people to show those off (while uncluttering the prop section). Now the main thing I really need help with here is how do you organize a collection section?
Notce that the Props section is broken down (Proton Packs, Ghost Traps.. etc)
And the Fan Art section too (Ghostbusters, Real Ghostbusters, Vehicles, Equipment.. etc)
How would you break down a collections section?
Action Figures?
Vehicles (or Models)?
What else.
Please.. brainstorm in this thread. The sooner ideas come in the sooner this will be done and you guys will be able to share your items with your friends here on Ghostbusters Fans.
