Add me to the lot who thought he was a mod already.

[Cyangmou]

thanks pals =)

ALthough I am feeling more like the cleaning lady right now.

#1)
First thing I realised here: Feature chest threads which were discussed by other mods some months ago are now in the feature chest for everyone to look up (ptoing already saved the images, so they won't vanish)

#2)
Second thing I am still realising and which will take a while to finish since it's quite a lot of work:
there is now a new Pixelart Childboard called "Good Reads"
http://wayofthepixel.net/index.php?board=26.0

In this part of the Forum I move in a lot of threads which haven't place in the feature box, but they contain good art, good progress and good critique.
I gave every thread a fitting header, which contains the most important things discussed in the topics, so if you are looking for help on tiles, anatomy or whatever it might be a cool idea to look up this stored knowledge - there is a lot of highly valuable information.

Some parts of those threads are broken. If you realize that the images in one of your earlier critiques for some of those threads doesn't work anymore it'd be cool if you could replace them.

Cool! Nice work

[Helm]

Good Reads is a good archival step, hopefully there'll be something that points to the future as well at some point.

I'm really sad to see that a lot of my old images in critiques have gone down. There's no backups, I'm afraid.

[ptoing]

Yeah. I am wondering how feasable it would be that we allow people to make attachements so they can upload images directly to the pixelation server. I doubt that would be that much of a burden on space and bandwidth. Crow?

[Crow]

I'd rather not. The server we're renting is rather light on actual disk space, and hosting images can also lead to various copyright problems I'd rather not deal with. We can use archive.today, or upload the images elsewhere.

I'd guess an archive of every image ever posted here would be < 30mb, and can't imagine pixelation being swamped with copyright claims.  If images are on the server, you could generate and store a few crisp resizes too, avoiding all the blurred zoom problems.
