|
|
Is there any interest in a BBB picture archive? I have quite a few pictures from a variety of sources. I could put together quite a gallery of pictures from when our games were being made and after. I'd give credit for any that I could find it for. I'd take any pictures that people want to add. Opinions? _________________ Pins and Vids #4 - A New Hoax DVD, Available NOW at www.pinsandvids.com for only $12.00 plus shipping. |

I think that's an excellent idea, Al. There are many pictures from the old Bearcave forum that I wish I would have snagged before that forum disappeared. If they could be hosted by Robert (on this site) that would be ideal, assuming he has sufficient storage capacity.

I was thinking of registering a new website just for the pictures. I know I have about 1000 pictures already. I don't have any bandwidth issues on my account, I never even reach 5% of my usage every month with 16 websites that I have now.
I was thinking I would use a program like the one that made the pictures on a friend's site (I own the domain):
http://www.ussohio.org/ConstructionPhotos/index.html
And set up separate sets based on time or event. I also should be able to release my Pick-up pictures soon, I made a deal with Jim Schelberg to get the audio and art for the Stan Fukuoka thing on PV3 that I would write an article for Pingame Journal and provide pictures. That *should* be coming out real soon (Paul wrote the article). As an aside, I obviously got Stan's permission to use his stuff.

If you have the time and energy, I'd say go for it. I can link to it from the BBBstuff.com links page if you wish.
A little birdy told me that there is a(nother) BBB surprise in the upcoming PGJ, so I guess it'll be a BBB double whammy. |

Nice idea!
I have a lot of pictures right from the beginning from the old Bearcave forum and from every source i could find.
But i suggest there must be someone who goes through all the pictures to avoid doubles or triples.
Do we need any ok from the taker of the photos?

I know the source on many of the pictures (hey, I took hundreds), I figure that I'll keep things together and if anyone has any problems with anything, I'll just delete them. I know I can't use the original Capcom pics I have from PGJ, but I got a couple from Pfutz that I'm sure I can use.
I don't want to tick anyone off, so if I know a link, I'll add it to the page and give the people credit and traffic.
I think it'll be cool! I'll work on it this weekend.

I've got tons of storage and bandwidth. I can mirror if need be. _________________ Robert

I have the domain running and I'm working on the content now. There are a *ton* of pictures to go through but I think I have the bulk of the pictures I have sorted. I'll set up an FTP site for people to add new pics. How do I handle the pictures people sent me for Georgianna? I'm thinking that I don't include them unless people ask me to.
If you have a bunch of pictures that I can share, please e-mail me at al@pinsandvids.com. These should not be ones that were on the forums before. We'll take care of the missed pictures after I get the bulk of the site up.

Still a work in progress but check out http://www.bbbpictures.com.
Oh and the new Pingame Journal is out with my friend Paul's review of driving to PMI and picking up the game.

Thanks Al for this effort, which is clearly a big undertaking but well worth it and appreciated for the archive of the history it will be.
Regards,

Very nice Al! It's great to have all of this archived in one place. I have a bunch if shots I took during a couple of visits to PMI during assembly. Can I put them on a disk to send to you? I think I have some shots from the old forum somewhere too. Any interest in trying to get a collection of pictures from the old forum?
Thanks for the work, it is very much appreciated,
Thank you!

I'd be glad to include anything I can get! I'll PM my address to anyone that has something to share or if you can do an FTP, I'll set up an ID/password for you to upload them to. I have no obtainable limit to the storage available to me.
