I had an idea the other day! Gifcities is a database of GIFs scrapped from Geocities before it died, but it doesn't get updated because it's an archive from a snapshot in time! But what about a modern image database, dedicated to modern old-web-style graphics? It could include anything from the old days up until the new ones. I'm not much of a coder, but I know everyone has their image hoards that are often more than we can use alone! I feel bad hoarding so many images and not being able to use them all. I'd toss them up on my site, but I feel like some sort of keyword tagging system would help. Is there any sort of HTML/CSS template for this? It would be cool to use a Melonland Everyone site page for this, but I'm not sure if the tagging system would be compatible. (If not, I might start it anyways even in simple HTML in categories. I want a communal GIF site lmao)

We basically have all of the infrastructure to do this in the Art Hub, uploading, storage, searching, tagging etc, its just the Art Hub is aimed at original creations verses collected media. I don't think it would be too hard to add a section for collected gifs, and would be quite useful to people!

I might try and separate it out in some way, just so people don't confuse the two (like adding a new homepage list for collected gifs instead of including them in the recent category), but otherwise we could totally build this kinda thing in  :dog:

Art Hub

Somehow didn't notice it until now! But it's way cool and I'll have to start posting some art there!!

And yeah that's the kinda system I was thinking of! Very cool that the idea may be implemented! My only worry would be having a few standard tags that are encouraged (stamp, blinkee, cursor, etc.) to avoid misspellings and making common graphics easy to find.

But whether or not you plan on implementing it, I appreciate you considering it!!
