Here's an idea. Why don't we have a part of the architecture forum where people can advertise to beta-test holds. I myself am one of them, because at the moment, I am SOOOO bored. So yeah, if someone can please give me something to do, be it hold art, or beta-testing, please post!

I specifically posted my latest hold, LMNO, as a public beta test so that people like you would have something to do and wouldn't be bored. Get busy.

This is always the first forum I look in, and I tend to play more from this forum than I do from the holds forum. However, the advent of private beta-testing cut my playing down quite a lot, though, considering the amount of time I play, that's probably not a bad thing. I like beta-testing, but I'm useless at feedback, it mostly being, "I liked room A, but hated room B", unless there is something obviously amiss.

About private beta testing: Can authors get a list of those players who make themselves available for beta testing? If not, it may be an idea to start a stickied thread where people can advertise themselves. Another thing: I keep the "available for beta testing" checked, as I interpret it as indicating that I am generally available. It would be nice if I could also indicate whether I am currently available, or perhaps too busy or something. So how about a thread where beta testers can post "currently available" / "currently not available", and edit accordingly?
