Our Gallery
#4
After careful review of our gallery, we have decide to make it read-only from this point on, essentially, locking it from anyone adding images to it. We have determined that the number of gallery images, although not yet reaching 5000, is a burden on our server, and accessing it can, and has, caused a "denial of service" error. This has caused our server to shut down access to our forums for a short period of time. Our gallery software is no longer being supported either, and so we thought about adding another gallery to supplement the one we have, but then it would result in the same problem down the line. We have left all the current images intact and they can still be viewed and linked to. You just cannot add a new album or add to an existing one.

There are just too many photo-sharing sites that we can use to link to, such as Photobucket, Instagram, Pintrest and others, that having a Gallery has become redundant as well as an unnecessary overhead that can cause more problems in the future if we don't shut it off now.

If anyone is having problems viewing images in the Gallery, or may need to delete something, let either myself or Mikey know and we'll do what we can to help you.

We regret having to do this, it was handy to have the gallery here, but seeing the problems that it caused a few weeks ago, we cannot take the risk of it shutting us down again, or acting weird by restricting access to some images and not others. We hope you understand.
