Could anybody seed this for a little while? Torrent is dead.. but how can something this awesome be dead?!

Yeah restarting the torrent wouldn't be practical right now, not enough seeders. If there's sufficient demand, I don't mind burning the gallery onto DVDs for people and sending them out if people will pay shipping. Probably cheaper than flash drives, though everyone's free to do that also. It's 1.2gb.

How about this, there are apparently a couple filehosting sites that will let me upload 1.2 GB file. I'll add in the new stuff from the other thread and try that, and if it's a dud, we can do a SASE thing. Give me a couple days to do the adding the images in and file-sizing them.

You could run a mini 'booru and use image tags. Just a thought. Sounds like there are enough images.

An image gallery script that manages images by means of tagging. Gelbooru.com is an example. (NSFW) You could run a smaller verion of a booru. They're not hard to set up and it would do away trying to organize things into a tidy bunch of categories. It'd make a search for tags like, 'juri' 'shiori' 'group' possible, or 'touga' shirtless 'saionji', and so forth.

Oh, there's a search function built into Gallery. That's part of the reason I used it, though frankly I don't think they'll ever be completely tagged to be searchable. There are like 10,000 images to assign tags to.

If you'd make it publically editable like Danbooru and the rest, I'm sure that you'd get anywhere from dozens to hundreds of helpers. Just collectively tag the untagged pictures with "tagme", and see how fast they find tags.

Before the new Gallery was actually launched, Gio got a bunch of forum members to volunteer to tag all the screencaps. They didn't quite do their jobs -- including satyr, who volunteered -- and so basically she'd need to use a cattle prod to get everybody tagging everything so that no character or scenario description goes unsaid.

Needless to say, only those who are dedicated enough to wade through over 10,000 pictures and panorama shots will be the ones to finish the job. Why knows? Maybe their work can be transferred back into the original Gallery.

Thoughts, anybody?

Actually I believe I have that option with gallery, to allow guests or at least signed up members write access. I just didn't do that because I figured that was a bit of a dangerous risk to take.

All right kids! Thanks for waiting--I had to finish up the edits for the background images and then the webspace was busy with totally legal stuff.

I split the gallery into three zip files for your sanity. They're as follows

http://ohtori.nu/forumstuff/Gallery1.zip (340MB) This is everything EXCEPT series artwork. That is, the movie, movie caps, manga, miscellaneous releases and such.

http://ohtori.nu/forumstuff/Gallery2.zip (260MB) This is all series artwork, background screens (NEW), character designs, and omake. It excludes the series screencaps.

http://ohtori.nu/forumstuff/Gallery3.zip (480MB) Which are here. These are the episode caps, including the opening, closing, and repeated sequences.

Enjoy everybody, and thanks for your patience while I got the zips ready! I'm glad I finished the caps when I did, I'm going to be fucking swamped this term. Three fucking careplans just for psych, I'm gonna need to be in the fucking psych ward by the time this is over.

The new caps have NOT been uploaded to the gallery proper yet, so you guys are getting a first edition here. Lemme know if I placed any of the caps wrong or whatever. I'll put them up in the gallery as soon as I get a chance.

Gio, this is positively amazing. I know of no other fandom that has one person who singlehandedly contributes so much to it, let alone is going through such rigorous schooling and everything else, on top of being a total beaut. You are amazing. Thank you so much. Gyaaah~~~ Molti poptarts per voi!

All the screen caps I could ever want! Eeee~~

You know, I'm sure a decent amount of pictures could be marked by people here if we just marked one every time we visited a single picture.

...Though, for the most part, I don't have much trouble navigating it.

Ohhhh yes! Gio, your actions are worth at least 3 pelvic thrusts.



*downloads and revels in FINALLY having the gallery on her computer*

You have no idea how much of my teenage years I spent saving my favourites onto my hard drive, haha!
