Longevity proves nothing of worth.
And the REGULAR scan gallery isn't going to "go back" being "elite only"... wasn't in the first place. The question is: do we need a gallery for scans that are the same size as those in the regular scan gallery ~ only with a different minimum? There's no way to enforce a seperation of image sizes unless both galleries are accessable to quite a few members/contributors, as it's unfair to move the scans from that gallery to the HQ gallery when their own contributors can't access those galleries. There is no way to move all scans over a certain size to the "elite" gallery without screwing people over... and enforcing a limit cap on the regular gallery is only going to reduce the potential quality of anything new and regular members can upload FOR the community. I personally wouldn't appreciate that being done to my own scans (now nearly half the entire scans gallery). I scanned them to share with ~everyone~, and I intend to do just that.
So, should a small group of people have access to a little bit of HQ material?
Or should we open all the galleries to encourage better material and organization in general?
I'm fairly certain the result of this poll is going to be: "give us something special, because we're better than everyone else".
But if you opened it to the whole community... I think you'd find yourselves vastly outnumbered. |
It is as simple as this. I am not an asset to the gallery, but I would like to think I've contributed to the forum. Tsurara, if you and your fellow staff members back then decided to let people continue and come in and just download stuff, I would not be here today. It was the fact that I was stopped by a message saying I have to be a com. member that I eventual posted and kept posting...and posting....and posting...
In my opinion, there aren't a lot of good talented gfx artists out there. As I have suggested it before, keep it the way it is now for the gallery. And another gfx artists can show us their work and we'll make exceptions and give them access to the resources.
