image-blog

Yes, I remember this - it was quite a while ago in fact. About 4 years
ago probably…

Setting up a forum restricted to images alone is worth trying out,
furtherfield actually did manage create such a format and it was the
'Visitorstudio', remember the dissention convention project? it was perl
scripted and you could have swf, jpg and mp3 files, all mixed live
together (currently being rebuilt).

Will have allok at this and play:-)
