Should We Have A Gallery?

Would you guys like us to add a Gallery to Aqua-Soft, kinda like the one on Spymac seen here..

Would eliminate the desktop thread, would allow people to show off mainly anything. New Apps, Icons, Themes, Hardware anything... could even be able to comment on the images and all.

This is just an idea, so lets see what yall think.

Yes. :shy:

#75730

yes because it allows comments etc

no because it would run to many pages being created every day.

#75732

yes, but with restrictions. Spymacs galery is WAY overbloated with crap. People submit anything they want there.

#75735

Would this be categorized by user or topic? Would we have the same thread, just updating them we the member (hehe) changes it? Would this be a forum section or a complete different experience apart from Aqua-Soft where A-S'ians will only have access to? Am I angering you yet with all my questions?

#75738

how about flarex posts then there ;)

looking at spymac, the gallery should be limited to walls, icons, & styles

#75746

Won't bandwidth be a problem? Most pics from the desktop thread are hosted elsewhere and not with aqua-soft. Will you guys have enough dough to pay for hosting? I don't think the google ad alone will be enough to pay for it.

#75749

Yea, if you can handle the bandwith Go For It (Y)

#75768

No. I wouldn't trust this site with my images. :canadian:

#75772

hah! you are a bastard

of COURSE we should have a gallery. then i can post my wonderful photography!

#75800

I feel it will be an unnecessary waste of precious bandwidth. :(

Hmm, the more I think about it, this is probly why we don't really need it. The only thing we will need for is sigs. There are numerous site out there that can do this. We have come reliant on a fine ScreenShot host. and deviantart.com hosts walls. If we add on a gallery, A-S will only become that much more unstable and the risk of A-S having downtime because everyone is uploading to A-S servers with their work and the bandwith going back and forth here, it will cause too many problems. I think.

PS. Can I change my vote to "No"?

#75805

i'd be curious at least to see how it would operate, though yes, it should not be at all like spymac. like says, limited to a-s relevant stuff. limited is the key word IMO

#75808

no restrictions really, just no bad stuff, yes you could post a pic of your damn bathroom if you wanted but it would have to go in its section

sigs i think are stupid to post, just apply your sig people will see em anyway.

but anyway this is just an idea, might try and set one up sometime soon.

#75838

lmao, i am definitely looking forward to the bathroom section :lol:

Yes definitely. So that all the files that being submitted here can be sorted accordingly without visitors have the hassle to search the forum

I think we should wait for more voters. these 15 people that voted "yes" are 0.0000000000000015% of the total members number on the board and its pretty much like the 0.0000000000000002% of the "NO" voters.

if we did that during a presedental election, we woulnd be run by the senate right now

#75849

Come guys, for those who still not votes, vote for it. Or if u don't want I can vote for you (on behalf)

#75854

I can make people only be able to vote in this thread, lets do that :who's your daddy:

#75872

people, vote!

Whilst it's a noble idea, it'll end up needing more mod-watching than all the forums A-S already has, I would think...

Not only do they need to judge appropriateness of images, but also of comments...

Not that I doubt the team's ability - I just think that the current staff wouldn't be enough to handle all the load...

That, and the fact that it'll get abused without doubt.

#76092

You will get abused? :blink: why?

I agree with Stevies POV, but i think it would be a very nice feature...

Well I'd volunteer to weed out crud from the gallery. You just need someone who's here a lot more than they should be because their girlfriend is at college. Like me! :P

But seriously, you'd just need a couple of mini-mods who could be restricted to only keeping the gallery free of porn/other 'objectionable' stuff. And joking apart, I would volunteer.
