I was told this would be up "soon" about a month ago. So, where is it? When can we expect it?

Whoop! Just got a letter from the YN team. So, no immediate concerns on my part, I know it'll take a little while.

I would also like Lisa to know that I've emailed (feedback?) about a few things I think someone should take into consideration. Please consider everything. Thanks!

MSN Spaces can be accessed on Explore page

I don't have a timetable for when the gallery will be available but it is definitely in the works.

Thanks Celtique!

Freedom, thanks to the current layout YN has, you can't see these features, but the blog page is in the YN homepage. The MSN space, it rarely shows.

Just what RULES are you talking about?

Yogore, where are these things? I can't find them on the website. Is there an update on the YN Gallery?

I do not know what goes into YN.

It's reasonable to extrapolate that a ton of work goes into making YN what it is. For instance, there are a ton of pages on this website, from the Making Noise sections to articles of interest and other subjects such as those. Each pages requires updating and the layout done. Also, if you look at how many projects YN has going on, it's amazing. There are the MSN spaces, YN Blogs, Just 1 Click, the NoiseBoards, normal marketing stuff and much more. It's very reasonable to conclude that all 7 or so staff members of YN are very very busy people and aren't always here to respond on the NOISEboards.

And by the way, most of this I do not know from being a mod or on the YAB, but I've learned the information through reading things on the website and listening to announcements.

Contributions are what these boards are for if you have an idea it is generally best to post it here, give a little frame of refrence, explain how it's best to go about it, give specific examples, find other message boards with those examples, and lay it out. Then dont be an idiot.. for example:

Uhh... Ginger... Do you realize that it's been a while since I started the thread? I mean, it's been a week and a half... And we were told a month ago... I don't see what's taking so long, especially if we'll just continue posting anyways...

That was pretty innapropriate IN MY OPINION, but people are busy, and while all ideas are taken into consideration, sometimes they take a while to initiate. However the staff is not obligated by any means to jump everytime you comeout with a snide remark about how things arn't being done fast enough for you. It's also best not to start up other noisenames to try and use it as a license to break rules and be an over all moron. But yes contacting YN is going to be what you will have to do.

I doubt that will happen.

While I do understand that they are overloaded, I do not know what goes into YN. I would like to be included in the YN Staff/YN Moderator discussions from this point on, if not a YNmod to fully understand this magnitude and work under a well-established institution. It would be a privilege and an honor to do so, and I believe I have much to contribute. If necessary, I will contact YN directly.

Your request and comments have been noted, however I believe it necessary for you to understand the full magnitude of the work that is required for this site, and you will do well to realize that there is not some large corporate staff to take care of everything. Ginger has a lot on her plate between funding, updates, server maintainance, upgrades, and other programs that the YAB is working on to make this site better and more user friendly.

We appreciate your concern, however the staff works to their maximum capabilitay and you cant really ask for anything more.

Uhh... Ginger... Do you realize that it's been a while since I started the thread? I mean, it's been a week and a half... And we were told a month ago... I don't see what's taking so long, especially if we'll just continue posting anyways...

Does the artist retain the copyright?

Oh.
I missed the your first post.

Oops.
Thank you though.
:]

The Gallery will be like an art gallery - for posting art pieces, poems, videos, other creative work and eventually music that you compose. This is a place to "hang" your original art - not anyone else's art, just yours. If you have a photo or drawing, etc. and can't get it digitized, send it to YN and we'll scan and put it on the site for you and return the artwork to you.

Hey - we may even offer your art for sale some day if you all want that to happen -

So, it's a gallery!

Ginger

So Noisemakers over eighteen will be able to put their pictures in a gallery??

I still don't know what it is.

Blah... Age requirements maybe?

So we can have a gallery but not a PostYourPic thread??
Or am I confused as to what a gallery is...

Wait, it was supposed to be art-like stuff?! I have no idea how I'm supposed to do that now... I don't even have my normal digital camera. Thanks for the response Ginger.
