Title: Gallery
Post by: Localonthe8s on July 11, 2010, 02:33:36 PM

Hey, I was wondering what happened to the gallery here? I noticed it's been gone for awhile but I found it as a neat feature to upload TWC videos there instead of YouTube or Dailymotion. Is there a chance that the gallery would be brought back or were there reasons that the gallery was removed?

There were issues with spam comments.

Was it caused by the guest posting? IMO that should be disabled as I thought the gallery was a great idea, especially for WMG songs.

If I recall correctly, anyone could have commented in the gallery whether guest posting was turned on or off.  The other reason that the gallery was closed was due to very little usage, which made us feel it wasn't popular with everyone.  Martin, please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here.

Well I can help out with maintaining and organizing the gallery if it's needed. As for spam, I wasn't aware about that...I don't recall seeing spam comments.

This was the main reason it was removed. Spam problems were not a problem that couldn't be corrected.
