*Takes a deep breath and dives in*
This is one of the main problems of forum posting... things that would be said lightly and not meant to bring offence in rl, can very easily be misconstrued or taken the wrong way when written down.
I can see both sides of this debate and I admit to being conflicted (and pretty confused too, if the truth be told.... )
If I was posting things (which I will be later.... brushes, which I can feel is going to open a whole new can of worms) I would be more likely to post actual tubes in the plugins section and .png's in textures...... not because I think that they necesseraly belong rightfully there, but because I think that people who use 2d graphic programmes are more likely to look in those places for them.
At the moment we are being flooded out in poser with poser renderd .png's, which desperately need their own subsection in a dedicated 2d resource area.
