Current Talk '07 I / Re: Art Gallery on DSBoards?
« on: April 23, 2007, 06:54:04 PM »What I've been noticing is a constant in these forums is an art gallery... a place where one can- say- display avatars, drawings, paintings, manips, songs, fics, vids, etc. Being very much into art, I was wondering if the creators of this forum would be opposed to dedicating a part of this board to us art enthusiasts who just love to show off our creative sides? Could be fun. ...
The forum actually has an art gallery where members can post drawings, painting and manips - though it's not currently available. It's part of the Members' Archive. And hopefully the MA will return in the not too distant future after the forum's system has been upgraded to SMF 1.1. Until then most members have been posting such things on the Calendar Events / Announcements boards or starting topics on those boards to link to their own Web sites.
However, as the guidelines mention, the forum doesn't accept fanfic (filksongs, vignettes, stories, etc.). Video is something we *might* consider in the future - but it would have to be restricted in some way because we don't have unlimited space for members to upload such things. Again, most members who've created video have been starting topics on the CE/A boards to link to their own Web sites.
