Title: MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: Gallery to be culled!
Post by: SourdoughStomper on February 09, 2012, 09:50:16 AM
Hello, my fellow MLP Arena members! In one month (March 9), we are going to start culling our gallery. Part of the reason our old site went under was all the bandwidth being used by all those images. As such, we are having to prioritize how many images we will have in the gallery and what their purpose will be.
 
 Fear not, not all of the albums will be culled. The Nirvana gallery, the coloring books, the custom tutorials, and the G2 Encyclopedia will stay. We'll also use the the gallery to host Arena specific events, like contests - photos, coloring, and the like.
 
 We are making announcements nearly everywhere so everyone will know ahead of time. (I may also attempt to send out emails if I can get my computer and the Arena to cooperate.) If you have images in your album(s) that you need saved back to your hard drive, this is your first warning to get to it. This involves the art, adoptables, customs, collections, sales and doll albums.
 
 The link to the gallery is in the navigation bar. :) But here you go in here, too.

I think this is really smart especially if it was causing problems before. Though I'm curious as I don't think it has been done before.... could we get an album for ATC swaps? That way people who want to see previous ones don't have to scroll through multipage threads to see that art?

Oooh- separating it out is good :) Specially since you can't look at most of those old forums now. I host off site so it doesn't affect me, but it sounds like a good idea to me. I'm all for speeding sites up.
