Hey Jackanory!
I appreciate your intention on making a Gallery index.
However we have had quite some experience with "Index" threads on this forum, and it has mostly been bad.
Index threads are very hard to keep up to date and need looking after. In the past, almost all index threads that aimed at listing member posts got abandoned at one point (rather later than sooner, but still, they got abandoned). Simply because it is a lot of work to maintain these threads up to date.
And an Index that is not up to date is useless.
I don't want to go into all the details here again. Suffice to say that we reached the conclusion (after much debating) that Index threads should be avoided.
So here is what I will do: I will leave this thread for you to complete. Please do this rather soon. Of course, you'll also be in charge of keeping it up to date as new submissions come in. If I see that this thread becomes abandoned and lags too much behind (and this would not be your "fault" but an understandable outcome because you are only human and they day has only 24h) I will delete it.
Please do not misunderstand me. This is not a warning and I am not telling you off for opening it. I think it is an ambitious and good idea, but experience has made me a little pessimistic about this kind of threads.
Here's your chance to prove me wrong.
Thanks for understanding!
Admin Tom
IMPORTANT: Please let's not go into a debate about this. My mind is made up about this and only time and "results" can change my opinion.
