Photopost gallery interest?

[vauge]

I would like to purchase this for the site.
It is $129 for a year /w $39 yearly renewal

But, we currently do not have the funds.

If we can get at least 3 more $25 donators we can hit next months bills and purchase this as well. Livin' on the edge.

If not, I might ask my wife if I can get it for my b-day. It's a toss up for this or a few T-shirts when the store opens. So no, I am not begging.

There are free gallery's available, but not with all the features.

I think Billo and teacher would have a field day. Other than those crazy dudes, are there enough folks with an interest in a photo gallery? Our member pics thread has really taken off; thus sparking my interest even further.

I think it could be an excellent addition, vauge. I'd donate some more money myself, but funds are kinda tight around here lately. Even though I typically use Snapfish and my own website for storing photos that I share with my online friends, I know that not everyone has those options, and it'd be a great way for me to save photos that I don't share elsewhere (such as the anti Bush photos ).

Hmmm.......
How about a site auction to raise funds?

Can photobucket do some of the same features for free? It's free and easy to sign up for that, perhaps we could create a DP account for everyone to use? I'd be willing to set one up with an open username/pword so that everyone from the site could use it to post pictures in posts.

That might get a little messy, with a bunch of us trying to get in there at once, and I hate to say it, but someone might get ticked off at someone else and go in and delete some of their pictures or something....

Well, I broke down and got photopost. Gunna get some taxes back this year.

WOOHOO!

It looks pretty cool so far.

Just need to tweak the permissions and set the gallery categories.
Every registered member will have thier own personal gallery as well.

We will have to be careful not to up copywrited content, unless credit given.
Videos will work too!

I *know* we need a Bush basher... anything else we can think of?

Was thinking for categories:
- Bush Bashing
- I met a politician
- Political Cartoons
- If Pigs could fly (off topic)

??

Hmmm....I would say something for member pics and sigs, but those would probably be best kept in the individual member's gallery....maybe something for smilies that Kelz doesn't want to add permanently to the database (like Deegan's infamous alien )?

Well...if we have a Bush Bash....why not a Hillary Hallmark Moment....though you would need to place a "frightens small children" disclaimer on it...heh
