Hi everyone, I usually don't post on this board but I do have a Dragonball cel gallery on RS. At this time I would like to Thank Jason for a wonderfully easy to navigate site. I love this site!!!
As far as DB/DBZ/GT being an anime watched by boy from 10 year to 20 year olds. Well that is not true, there are many females that watch the show. I am one of them. I also like FY, Trigun, Ruin Explorers, Kenshin, Escaflowne, and Outlaw Star. My collection is mainly Dragonball, but I do have other anime shows in my gallery that I collect from and I intend to collect from other series as well.(when I have the money of course ^_*) I belong to a few anime boards even though I post only on one so I am aware of the troubles regarding collecting DB cels.
Why is DB having this trouble?
Exposure, Exposure, Exposure...
60 millions fans can't be wrong.
At least according to Cartoon Network. ^_*
Anyway if DB didn't have this problem another show would like Gundam or maybe even Kenshin. The problem is not the show, the problem is people.
Jason I wouldn't blaim you if you don't want anymore DB gallerys. But what I suggest is this:
There are individuals out there that don't understand what a cel is. Maybe a small description of this should be included on the page when someone comes to the site to create a gallery. Along with the info that they must own the cels that they are posting in the gallery. Just something to remind them that this is a cel gallery is not a pics gallery.
Or if it comes down to you not excepting any more DBZ cel gallerys, maybe a potential DB collector can get a recommendation from another cel collector that has a site here, or who is known in the cel community. Then the new DB Cel Collector would then be allowed to create a DB gallery. That way DBZ collectors won't feel too bad about not being able to create a site here, and the trouble makers will be weeded out.
Jason I hope this is helpful, and I want you express my gratude. I think that RS is a wonderful site, and I enjoy how easy it is for me to update my gallery.
(Also, just a quick note if I update my gallery with new cels I also create a notation in the news section to let everyone know what I have updated. Unless, I do some maintanence on the gallery, like adding to descriptions, images (smaller files) to help save on band width. etc.)
