"It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me."

I was checking out "The Gallery" forum yesterday, and it seems like it's a waste of space. No offense to whoever created it, but it hasn't been updated in about two years. Will it be getting updated again, or just deleted? I like the idea of it, but it just seems like no one really cares for it since it hasn't been updated in a while.

Discuss I guess. This was mostly just to point it out to Achronos and the other moderators, so sorry if I wasn't supposed to create a topic on it. I'd send a message, but I usually never get replies.

I wish they would update it again, but I think they are just going to let it rot.

Moderators can't make threads there but I here they can move them there.

Bungie employees and bungie.net super users can make threads there i believe.

I'm not talking about us making threads though...I'd just like for Bungie to update it with new pictures so that people can comment on them...then announce winners each week like they used to do.

No, i don't think even moderators have allowance to move threads there. Not like you see any that they moved there, right? Any thread made in the gallery forum is made by either Sawnose (the bnet superuser, also a bungie employee) or Sketchfactor (a bungie employee). Both haven't been on recently (at least around the forums, as far as i can tell), and the gallery hasn't been updated since foreverago.

So don't count on it. Can it happen? Probably. Will it? Probably not. Do we know for sure? Nope.

(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

I really think they should start updating that every so often after they start releasing more screen shots of Halo 3.

Few people go to it, and if they update it, and put it in the weekly news, it'll become popular again.

Toast said that they could move threads there a long time ago when we had the last caption contest held by SCC

I say we make KP do more work and make him incharge of all that stuff. That would show him.

My proposal is a member-run, or even a moderator run Gallery. We have a great number of mods and members, and it would take strain off of the Bungie workers.
A member could submit a picture to an appointed mod (according to a set of strict rules), the mod would approve/disapprove, and then they (the mod) would post the picture accordingly. Or the mod could just post a picture they find. If you think that a regular mod might post inappropriate pictures, only give the power to a Master Mod. In order to prevent the forum from being overrun, only allow one thread at time (per week, like it was). Maybe there could be special Member/Mod/Staff/ect Choice once a month?

Maybe Bungie could assign a certain member of high caliber to run the gallery forum. Or else they could hold a weekly contest, where the winner of the past week gets to choose the next picture for that week.

That would be sweetness, but a person of what high stature would do such a thing?

This ideas have been suggested several times. It wouldn't be hard for Bungie to make the forum active.

To Make Posts is Glorious

Some threads will get posts before others and it is the duty of the Leadership to ensure that posts are made that best suit the public welfare.

As bungie now has KP , Maybe someone could mention it to him. I'm sure he'd be more than happy to update that.

He has done well on the main page.....

Great picture there...but, if the Gallery were updated, it would have to be Halo related.

And, if you're being serious lady die, it's over on the right, under "The Library" and above "The News."

Any other thoughts or proposals for "the Gallery" forum?

Heck, I would do it myself if I could...
