Baseops.Net Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I really dug the Aviation Pics thread on this forum (gen disussion). I was wondering if there was any sort of demand / desire to see the creation of an interactive aviation pics gallery -- an online gallery where you could upload photos/pics to share with others? I was looking at a PHP script like Coppermine Gallery, etc. --> translation: an interactive portal where users create accounts then upload their photos to share. I thought this would be a good idea, however, the bandwidth concerns would make me place it on another website/server. The product I was looking at allows users to upload their photos (direct from their harddrives), place captions, search, sort, categorize, e-cards, vote, place comments, etc. (full interaction...) coppermine example URL What do y'all think. If you think it's a crappy idea, no big deal! [ 11. August 2005, 17:48: Message edited by: Baseops.Net ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I think that would be a great idea! I was just looking through a CD of mine today that has pics of every AF aircraft and I am going to put it on my computer. If we all had access to cool pics I think a lot of people would have fun with it and use it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravedigger Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Sounds awesome. Not to derail this thread, but I was thinking it would be cool to have Baseops.net t-shirts. I know you're not big on donations, but it would be a great way for us to support baseops without just giving money. We could also upload pics of wearing the shirt in cool locations and post them in the gallery(back on topic). Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lakefisher Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 you could put a subdomain of baseops.net on another server (as in gallery.baseops.net). btw, reading the announcement about the server move, just how large was the "overwhelming bandwidth"?

Scooter14 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 How about baseops.net Under Armour (or reasonable facsimilies). I like C-17's idea. Baseops.net tees on the USO girls, Hooters girls, etc, etc, etc. I like the pic server idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseops.Net Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 I am actually working on some logo-based products... more to come soon. As far as the bandwidth - it was in excess of 20GB a month, BUT, the overiding factor was the fact that so many persons were executing the .cgi script that it was crippling the host server almost causing it to CRASH!

Rocker Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 You should make it so every time I come to baseops.net, money and hot babes appear out of nowhere in my apartment. Probably have to use the .bab script for that one. And to be constructive, I might not be understanding the .cgi thing or have any idea what PHP is, but I think the aviation pic thing would be cool. There is already so much out there, but seeing peoples' own photos from their jobs is way cooler. You'd probably have to have some kind of approval process to limit potential buffoonery with what some people might try to put up there. [ 11.

Baseops.Net Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 Yeah, we would have to crank-down the security of the pics gallery. First off, we would have to be particular on who creates accounts and who could POST pics (although ALL would be able to view the pics). Next the FCC "decency" standards would have to be enforced -- a particularly difficult task with pilots! And of course, the whole opsec / comsec / compusec issues would have to be enforced to keep "big brother" from pursuing us like enemy-of-the-state. I think people being able to post their own personal pics of their aircraft, etc. would be a neat twist on the usual trite photo gallery idea.

Guest AF2ANG Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I'd wear a Baseops.net T-shirt. And I'm not even a USO or Hooters girl. Good idea. Likewise for the photo gallery. I agree with the above "DO IT". Michaela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearedHot Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Here is a thought...A gallery with hot chicks wearing Baseops.net gear. In fact you could turn it into a small contest...who can find the hotest chick to wear the gear and take a pic. Michaela...you first. [ 12.
