When I visit the main forum these days it seems less of a discussion place with some images but more of a place to show and store sketchbooks. :(

Its nice to see the cool work people are doing and learn from it :) but at the same time its less of a place now to see what people are talking about. :(

Definitely need two forums. One for 2d and other for 3D.

I like to have my 2d and 3d divided so doesn't clutter things up.

fine as it is :D
The 2d wave is pixologics own fault and is ok aslong as not every sketch is posted.
Wait... its same for 3d :)

They are two different arts, so they need their respective forums. Every other bloody website on net as same setup, So it proven method to keep things organized.

but 3d art is seen on your monitor as 2d, lol.
its all art regardless of dimension.

or maybe they should have a forum just for work that is made and rendered completely in zbrush. hehe.

anyway back on the original topic, at some point the sketchbook levy is going to break and they will have to do something. honestly i'd rather see individual posts about a particular work and if people want to show their sketchbooks then they should do it on their blog.

As a long time teacher of art at Art School level and Universities I can only hope that the powers to be in this forum make a sub forum for these "sketchbook - painting tool type images".
I mean most of these are not really worthy of first year students and have so many basic flaws that it really gets in the way of the 3D stuff.

Tough statement but most likely very true!there is so much wrong with your whole statement that i can only lol at academic opinion.

Dude this is an artists forum, were all oversensitive, especially in the off-topic section.
Even though this section is kind of dead it seems to be growing.

The off topic sections of forums are my favorite and can lead to hilarious threads.

So to stay on topic, I think the main form is fine in it's beautiful chaos, I do think there should be a couple of different galleries though.
