:-) @ dialyn. I have a feeling on how this one will go, based on a few indicators around the site (take note, antevark, on searching technique): Galleries and forums need moderators. When you ask for a new gallery or forum, you're asking for a devoted chunk of someone's time for as long as the gallery exists; it's more than just the time taken to set it up. This site is short-staffed.

• If you click on the 'Instant Messaging' link in the top bar, the IM page has a 'Who's currently logged in?' link. It shows you the admins and mods currenly online. Over the last few months, that list of mods has been noticeably shorter than it used to be.
• Check the other forums too - you'll see that lots of mods are doubling up (and more) on their duties.
• Check the galleries of the mods - you'll see that some of them are modding forums for apps that they don't use.

All of those points demonstrate that the site is short-staffed: a small number of people running a very big site. That's indicator number 1. Indicator number 2: the work list is already pretty full. A search through this forum, looking at all types of requests, shows that popular ideas are greeted (sooner or later) with Tutone saying "I'll add that to the work list." Tutone is (I think) the main coding chap for the site (correct me if I'm wrong Tommy). A quick browse through this forum tells you he has a task list as long as his arm. Priorities will out. So, we're looking at scarce resources and a lot of work waiting. Indicator number 3: the marketplace. Resources will always be prioritised for the market because it generates the dosh. Anything else obviously comes lower down the list. Indicator number 4: we've already all agreed that a PS gallery will create a precedent for other 2D apps to demand galleries. Creating a PS gallery means committing the time and energy of a whole bunch of mods to a whole bunch of new galleries. The PTB won't be keen to do that; they haven't got that time and energy spare. Splitting the 2D and traditional media would only create one more gallery... Indicator number 5: Retrocity already volunteered to host a backroom gallery in the forum. That allows the PTB to test the water and divert the current demand. It makes clear sense to go with that option. The broader picture (to my eyes, anyway) says 'No Photoshop Gallery' for the time being. Creating a huge interest in a backroom gallery, though, would make a good case for a gallery in the future and ensure that it would start out with high participation rates. Granted, it takes longer to build a success than to wave a magic wand, but it's more satisfying when it works out. Peace :-) cam
