a specific art query has only 1 answer to it, aka the post seeked, but for an artist you can have a lot of posts spread across a lot of places, so it's nice to have a specific thread for an artist so it's centralised, especially when you find other posts from that artist later, otherwise your post is 20 pages behind the others about that artist bc there were unrelated requests in between
I dunno - you may be right, I just don't really see the problem with having requests about artists, potentially repeated several times, in the same big Hunting Thread. If you're talking centralization, that's even more centralized than having separate threads for each artist.
Like, is it really that big a deal if someone doesn't want to go through pages and pages of the hunting thread, and just posts a query someone may have already asked? Seems to me it'd be easier and more centralized, rather than creating one new thread for each "I remember X or Y artist, anyone has their art"?
Tbh, the hunting thread should probably be separated in different subthreads anyway, because people tend to ask for different categories of things.
