LadyCrimson Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Would there be any real interest in this? My thought about set-up would be something like...I could create the gallery, then initial categories - ie, Ourselves, Games We're Playing, Our Pets, or whatever the heck people wanted (I could hold a poll on categories to be included, maybe) - people could upload to those categories and be able to edit/moderate their uploads and the comments under their own pictures if they want etc. Then as time went on, if users wanted a new upload category (because of a big new game release, say), they could request it and I'd add it; so it'd be an evolving community thing. The only problem is in order to make it "obsidian members only" I'd probably have to have people PM me from here on the forums so I could register them manually. Haven't thought that through yet. But obviously I don't want to do the work to make it/maintain it if no one would be interested... “Things are as they are.

Arkan Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 You mean like a photo album for the forum? "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 You mean like a photo album for the forum? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, that...as well as anything else people might want to have, like their cool game screenshots or artistic endeavours or maybe even sound/avi files (they wouldn't be streaming tho), I might be able to rig that up. I can keep people from hotlinking images if that's of a concern, tho of course people can still download them. ---- @ Rosbjerg “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 Hmm...actually more of a positive response than I was expecting. I'll keep this running a few days to see if more wish to add a vote. I should be done with my other self-web projects by then and will have the time to consider more closely how to build it. “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 @ Maria - Oh I don't know about that. I think those voting for the 4th (or 5th) option are kinda saying that, as well. If I make it I don't have any big expectations for it. There's plenty of general & categorized image hosting/sites out there. I've seen other forums with small member-oriented galleries tho; seemed like fun. “Things are as they are.

metadigital Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Not sure why / what the image gallery would be used for ... when I read the question initially, I thought this might be a gallery of Obsidian offical-type artwork, like avatars, screensavers, backgrounds, skins, etc. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 (edited) @ meta - That's a good point re: official concept. I should say here that this would be in no way affiliated with or officially endorsed by Obsidian. It's just a member thingie, nothing to do w/the company. As to what it would be used for...that's kinda up to the people who end up using it. It's one way to consolidate images people might post in the forums, in one place - wouldn't be deleted, closed, or lost behind 50 pages of new posts, so to speak - or a place members can check (or lurk..haha) now and then for stuff other members might wish to share but for whatever reasons they may not want on the forums themselves - even if only because they don't want to make a single new post just to share one new picture. Also, sometimes people on forums dont want to point to their other accounts on other sites, for whatever reasons, and thus this would be a place where they could put all their "obsidian forum sharing" things. It doesn't have any real purpose beyond that. So either you like that sort of idea, or you shrug and say "I can post/attach pictures in the forum threads, what's the point" and ignore it. It's possible to create individual member folders, as well, that people could then link to in their forum signatures or profiles if they wanted...I dunno. I'm still free-form thinking. heh If those interested have any suggestions please list 'em. Edited October 16, 2006 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

Rosbjerg Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I'm fully behind the idea.. I think it would be a great media to add anything from old sigs to pictures of whatever we wanted to share.. but it's the open nature of the proposol that I enjoy - and it's something that could bring a new dimension (if used) to the forum imo.. - Rosbjerg Fortune favors the bald.

LadyCrimson Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 (edited) Before this gets pushed too far down the list...seems like there's enough moderate interest - from my point of view - to give this a go. I have the core program installed but I haven't gotten around to modifying it yet. Games/hobbies and home-life stuff has been sucking away my personal time too much as of late. So probably in another couple weeks. I'll make a new post when it's open. Edited November 6, 2006 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.
