So there's an issue with shoving these two forums under the blanket of creationism corner: There aren't any non-artists that visit CC.
With MS Paint, the tools are so shitty, they level the playing field between skilled artists and regular people. You don't need to have any skill whatsoever to make something. Back when MS Paint was its own subforum, you'd get all kinds of people visiting because it's a program that everyone has and has used at least once. There's no perceived barrier to entry.
Photoshop Contests doesn't really have a place in Creationism Corner either. You don't shop something to create a work of art, you shop something to make a joke. While there is a barrier to entry (Photoshop is expensive/GIMP sucks), most people have access to these kinds of programs and can contribute. I miss the old "shop the above" threads that went on and on until it was a collage of madness, and then someone superimposes the current image onto a new image and we start all over again.
I don't know, I just feel like the potential subset of MS Paint / Photoshop Contests posters does not intersect very well with the subset of Creationism Corner posters.
I could get behind this. I like the idea that it's "art" for "not artists", which I are(nt?).
I think putting things in subforums makes the most sense, but don't have them buried.
Have something like the creation corner with half a few different things listed under it on the front page.
Agreed, I really miss the old photoshop contests subforum that we had back in the day. That was like the main reason why I joined FP in the first place.
Photoshop Contests was a great subforum to dip into from time to time, I'd love to see it make a return
I used to make stupid crap a lot on Photoshop Contests, it'd be really neat to see it come back.
Could just make a contests thread and dump everything there from game contests to photoshop contests.
If it were to boost the popularity of Photoshop contests (as right now, they barely happen, probably because they're shoehorned in CC) then it would be cool to see the return of them.
photoshop contests are a historic internet landmark

Honestly it was the only reason I ever used photoshop. I miss those days.
Some kind of Creative Contests subforum would be great to see, especially considering that subforums are having a resurgence now
