hey dude, i dont know which wall to right now but i thought i head you say to put queries or problems on this one.
i just wanted to say that i think the Mentoriam and the Groups are getting a little unorganized, i was going to organize them for you but after thinking about it i wouldn't know the specifics of how you would like them to b organized and since it is your site i didn't want to take any control from you.
just as i suggestion, you might want to make a separate thread for each one of the 12 principles so that all the Arcs work will go in one all slowin and out will go in another and so on..... i just think that posting work in a dedicated folder will help keep things organized and will give more incentive to post as they will know where to post.
also i was wondering if the Guardian Mentorium Forum meant to be separate from the Guardian Group Forum as it just seems like a waist of time having two of them as people dont know which to post in, if there was a reason behind doing this you might want to make it a little clearer to everyone. my suggestion would be to have only the Guardian Group Forum and put the Mentorium one in there with the Group one that way there is only 1 place you need to go, then people can post there work all in one place.
the other option would be to keep everything as it is and make the Group version a place to post work and have the mentorium version a general place for guardian news, blogs, download rigs (like you have now but a bit more organized).
i hope that you follow what i mean, its obviously something that can wait till the holiday is over but i do feel that it is something that does need addressing as soon as you can.
the way i would structure it would be.
Mentorium - Sticky
News
Download Rigs
Animators Blogs
Things Of Interest On The Net
Weekly Pose Exercise (some weekly pose exercise e.g happy)
Questions & Answers (a place for people to ask for help about any of the emails)
Issues
Group - Sticky (this is for all the guardian groups)
Welcome
Squash & Stretch
Anticipation
Staging
Straight Ahead & Pose To Pose
Follow Through & Overlapping
Slow In & Slow Out
Arcs
Secondary Action
Timing
Exaggeration
Solid Posing
Appeal
anyway thats just the way i think it should be set up as its a lot more organized and a lot easier for people to know where to post things, what i've done is try to keep all the General Topics in the Mentorium and the lessons in the Group as this new Group set up you have will work with having all the 12 principles in them as the Course is split into different Groups so that people are on the same place as everyone else, so the set up above should work well with that.
i know that the Weekly Pose Exercise thread could be something that goes in the Animation Aerobics, its just that after looking at the Animation Aerobics thread it just seems a little empty, this could just be as its new or it could be cos the forums just need an organize but ever the reason i hope that you can see what i mean with my suggestions, as i said at the beginning i didn't want to take over your site or anything its just an idea that i had to keep this thing organized.
anyway hope you dont mind.
talk to you soon.
