SDN photo album?
Has this been discussed before? If so, I didn't find anything for it with the search engine.
Anyone thought about putting together a "SDN Photo Album"; essentially a site/link showing pictures of all (voluntary) members of SDN, perhaps a brief description of them and their interests? We have the "Official Members Pic Thread"...but that's not quite the same.
Good idea? Yay? Nay?

Sure, if someone happens to have reliable server space that doesn't have an insanely small bandwidth cap. It would be a very time-intensive undertaking.Robert Walper wrote:Has this been discussed before? If so, I didn't find anything for it with the search engine.

I'd do it, I even have an offer from a friend for good web hosting. I might just check into it when I get a chance. I don't get to see him online all that often, plus I need to figure out some bloodly FTP uploading software and crap. *frowns*GrandMasterTerwynn wrote:Sure, if someone happens to have reliable server space that doesn't have an insanely small bandwidth cap.

I'm for it.
Idea: maybe there can be a comments section for each member or photo. Depending on where it is hosted, it could potentially be tied in with a subforum here so only members here can post. That could act as an offset to the all-too-common tendancy to post comments in picture threads in this forum.
Of course, it could also easily get out of hand if that's allowed, so I won't be surprised if the comments idea is shot down.

Why not keep it on the board, make a new forum in the 'System' section, put it under Testing and Completed Fanfics. Call it 'Member Identification' or something.
In the forum itself, you can have 29 threads. Each thread will focus on usernames. A-Z (26 threads), # (for those people like 2000AD who's username is a number), and moderators and admins. Each post will have whatever photo you want of yourself, plus your avatar, plus whatever comments are made about you. Then the thread is locked.
We can do a trial run in AMP to give people a chance to make comments on the person, basically constructive thoughts and so on. Is there any reason to say "This guy is a fuckhead."? If he is, he should be in the shit list.
Do it this way and you keep the member IDs on the board, which is more convenient, you can restrict access to only board members, lock the threads so only a moderator can edit the posts, and your photo and information will be available for everyone who's signed up. Give it to the Chronicle, or set up a new usergroup for this.

I suppose it will come in handy when they get round to printing all the wanted posters.

It could work if done right (then I don't know of anything that would if done wrong). Of course there's the problem that some people change their Av quite often (unlike me, as I have changed my av only once (from Palpatine to Revan).
I may be an idiot, but I'm a tolerated idiot

I don't think avatars will matter in this forum... it's pictures of the users themselves, not their avatars.

It's a good thing such a suggestion wouldn't seriously take. I mean, it'd work for someone like myself, who generally only changes his avatar upon reaching major posting milestones . . . and even not that frequently. It wouldn't work for some other folks here who change their avatars daily or weekly.Lord Revan wrote:there was suggestion of using Avs as form of ID for the users.Elheru Aran wrote:I don't think avatars will matter in this forum... it's pictures of the users themselves, not their avatars.

Getting back on-topic, I can see how it would be an extremely good idea to keep this sort of thing (the official SD.net photo album) members-only, as the potential for abuse by trolls, internet stalkers and the like is pretty high, to say the least.

A very good point. I wonder which moderator/admin we could suggest this to? It's worth a try I think, it would add another more personalized element to SDN.GrandMasterTerwynn wrote: Getting back on-topic, I can see how it would be an extremely good idea to keep this sort of thing (the official SD.net photo album) members-only, as the potential for abuse by trolls, internet stalkers and the like is pretty high, to say the least.

I'm sure I've been on boards before with Gallery tabs near the whole login/logout/search panel thing at the top left. I don't see why one for sdnet would be a bad thing.

Good idea, a closed thread for SDN members only would provide us with a bigger sense of security, thus providing more shots from everyone
I'm up for it as well.
