Don't worry I didn't take you mail in any neagtive way. Still all these
links site are ok (and maybe we should start with expanding one as a
first step) but what I really hand in mind is a site where a game
developer can click on textures -> wall textures and then get
(thumbnails of) all free wall textures known, so that he can see in one
page all known available wall textures instead of having to click
through many sites. Each texture would then ofcourse be accompanied with
a License tag on this very same page.
