Hey all!

By popular request, Silky and I are thinking of the best way to start a Gallery section where members can show off their collection and frame jobs, and also where other members can draw inspiration from!

We would like you members to vote on one of these two options:

1) Eliminating text from Part I: We shall cut down the entire thread (all 50 pages of it - yikes!) to pictures only. All comments/compliments will be removed, making it easier to browse through.

2) Starting a pictures-only Gallery section: We shall start a fresh sub-board (perhaps sub-categorized by Artist within), and request all members to post their pictures (pictures only, strictly no text) in the appropriate sections. Members who have already posted their pictures in "Get your Banksys out... (Part 1)" will be requested to re-post their pride and joy in this new gallery for all to enjoy.

The current "Get your BANKSY'S out... (Part II)" thread will remain as it is, so that people can still post their pictures there and get comments/feedback/compliments/questions answered. Members can post their pictures in both sections simultaneously if they wish to. That way, members who want to browse the comments/feedback/compliments/questions can do so, while members who prefer to browse the pictures only can go to the new Gallery pictures-only section. Something for everybody! ;D

If Option 1 is voted for, then when the time comes for Part II to close and Part III to be started, we will trim down Part II to pictures-only just as we did in Part I.

If Option 2 is voted for, then the original "Get your Banksys... (Part 1)" thread will be immortalized as it is, comments and all. The Gallery will be a new section.

Get your votes in! (The section immediately above this message) ;D

(This poll will end in a week - April 21st - unless it is still generating chatter at that time, in which case the poll will be extended.)

Well done! AB Everyone knows I had no chance of being able to word it as well as you can ;D

Haha! Thanks - I guess being a talkative windbag does have its advantages after all!

[corblimeylimey]

I'm for option 2, best of both worlds IMO and saves Silky & AB from trawling through and sorting it out, but some pics from the original Get Your Banksy's Out thread may not appear in the new section due to old members who don't post anymore

Bring in PR

Part of me says it's the pictures and frames that I really enjoy but even amongst the often inane 'oh, so and so I really love the way that you have done this or that to so and so's imagine and I'd really like one of those' we may actually miss on something that really does say something important about the state of the scene as it is happening.
I'll get my vote in next week!

CBL, where's your Avatar gone?

but under option 2 Get Your...etc will remain exactly the same as long as people post in both places, which I think will happen, as it's nice to compliment a good job done well and it's always nice to recieve a compliment too.

I can see it too. Sometimes the server chews up the images - just refresh and it should be fine!

Sorry mate, must have been my laptop. Just saw a red X inside a whitebox, instead of Jack's boat.

Yep andrewd - if option 2 is chosen, then the existing "Get Your Banksys out..." threads will remain unchanged and immortalized, comments and all. The Gallery will be a totally new and separate section

[arcam]

Option 2 definitely.

[dkla]

Nice work AB and Silky. Option 2 for me!

[senna]

excellent guys

option 2 for me too.

can't delete the past!

[yeah7]

Option 2 aswell.

My only gripe with the current "Get Your Banksys out..." thread(s) is when people quote the image, and on a single page we are getting duplicates of the same image over and over again. Minor gripe though.

[budoukiba]

What also might be good is a short description of the type of frame used and where it was framed, or maybe just a framing section.

[budoukiba]

Of course i did notice the framing section before i posted that

[romanywg]

One of the most popular threads over on Qeester was 'What do you all look like' where forum members posted pics of themselves.
It does help when you go to an exhibition and can introduce one to one another.

Bloke? I'm a 42 year old boy, still in shorts you know.

[lesroy]

Right....

AgentBacardi & Silky... I have made a condensed BANKSY PICS ONLY thread... hopefully, people will respect it and only post Banksy framed images in there.

Hopefully AgentBacardi's new "Get your Banksy's out for the lads part II" thread will become the thread for posting pics and then people commenting on them... we can then add the standalone pics to the new "BANKSY GALLERY THREAD"

Here is the link
