How do you feel about VGBoxArt.com?
SylentEcho:
That site is useless, they don't even share those custom covers for download.
XCore:
LOL, yeah. People on VGBA just started talking about this.
You all have a strong fucking point, VGBA is full of newfags and noobs with deliberate lack of skill who just rely on trolling and being immature idiots in order to socialite on the site...
Thus driving many great artists away, only a few remain that actually do things properly.
I mean check out these portfolios for a start mine being the first,

... and show me anything you find there in the way you dudes described VGBA to be... Most of those artists aren't active, although having their presence back in the day was what we accustomed to... Those great boxarts were standard, now the site is clogging up with inable artists with no direction at all, and to make things even better, our Admin decides to die sometimes and comes back miraculously and randomly like once a year.

You sound very arrogant XCore, you say they have a strong point but I think you missed it. Linking them to a few "high ranked" artists' author page doesn't really prove anything except that there are good artists on the website.
Their point was that they feel the website doesn't provide any professional medium, it's a website full of teenagers who submit covers for "entertainment" purposes. Meaning, you members don't go beyond the website itself, hence it being a hobby site. The members of the website have a choice whether or not to provide a printable, the majority of the website does not. Which makes the covers themselves solely just to look at, not to print out and use.

Well, this is new, I never thought this little site of ours would be a subject of attention on another internet forum.
I have been a member of this website for almost three years and I wholly accept your criticisms that we have a lack of quality control, we have an admin who doesn't care anymore or atleast has been very busy to care, but it also seems that you people are misjudging this website for a cover replacement site, we are are not scanners, we only showcase our "art" here, it's our hobby. It also occurs to me that you all have only focused on the bad submissions, have you not seen our Hall Of Fame or Masterworks? It's utterly pointless to critique something or speak out something when only taking account on the bad aspects.
P.S. Sorry if my grammar is atrocious, English is my second language.

That's pretty much it.
Sorry that we bumped this thread.
