Should there be Transformer galleries(not just member collections) at the website? This old chestnut originally was a concept but I decided to make the site more forum based, like a splash site for the forum.
Up to now I've not wanted to have mainstream things on the website for a few reasons:
So why now?
I have 15360 MB of webspace, totaltfs uses just 77MB of that, well 110MB now. We have space. The difference is - some, not all; but a few of these big sites have/or at least did have big websites but horrid communities. The difference is we have a great community here - you!
How can I help?
Just by taking pictures of your figures, individual toys not group/collection pics. Size comparison pics would be okay. Taking pics can be as easy as covering a desk with white paper, with white card backing. (No background area showing please!
What's the catch?
None, of course there would be some restrictions, and all pics would be subject to processing for the site (Resizing, file size reducing, slecetion subject to my discretion.) etc. Here are some ideas:
If I can think of any more or you can, I will add to this.
Thoughts
Please leave your thoughts here. Yey or neh and why, why not. I know there will be some obvious replies like "I have mine all in storage right now"; that's fine. We're not talking right away, even IF it goes ahead. We're talking about a long term project here to boost thee website and by way boost this forum.
Up to now I've not wanted to have mainstream things on the website for a few reasons:
- There are already lots of mainstream big TF sites that do this
- Website space

None, of course there would be some restrictions, and all pics would be subject to processing for the site (Resizing, file size reducing, slecetion subject to my discretion.) etc. Here are some ideas:
- Sharp, quality pictures only, preferably high definition but not essential. Absolutely no fuzzy/webcam pictures! Remember your representing the site with these pics.
- All pics as mentioned are subject to those I choose to include, File and picture size. Preferably JPEGs rather than large PNG's.
- Shots could include:
*Robot mode
*alt mode
*Robot 3/4 view, front and back.
*Alt mode 3/4 view, front & back.
*Comparison shots (Please make it relative to the figure, not random.
*Close up details shots, including face.
*Packaging shots, if in good condition or new. - List item 4
- List item 5
If I can think of any more or you can, I will add to this.
