Why is it that when I get a pm about the service I need with my graphic request and we get to the point where I ask whether I have enough FG to make it happen the other person just never replies back? Leaves me hanging for like a week wondering if he's working on it or not. Heck I have pmed 3 other people about it and didn't even reply back with like "no I don't do that kind of thing".

Unless the person has a reason to check d2jsp every day, they might be gone for random amounts of time. Also, I recommend never negotiating graphics via PM anyway. Creating a thread will provide more options to choose from, plus it's a paper trail for both seller and purchaser to help prevent scamming or short-changing. It's a win/win situation. Lastly, usually if a graphic artist is PMing you, rather than dealing in the thread, they're most likely the least talented and don't want to deal with competition.. or if the purchaser initiates the price strictly in PM, then they're most likely trying to be cheap. It's pretty common.

TL;DR - Keep everything in a thread, not PMs.

Right on, unfortunately there hasnt been a reply on my thread even though I have found people that do logos. Heck it might be the price but I would at least like to know.

If you put '500 fg' in the title and spend 5fg on bold next time, you'll definitely receive a lot more traffic. You did a good job describing what you want, plus it's a good price for the job.

5 fg on bold? What is that like a payed topic?

Yes. When you create a thread, before you submit, there's an option to spent 5fg to bold the title in the list the topics. Makes it stand out more. Also, give me a sec, I'm working on a submission and will post in your original thread.
