I'm sorry to announce that the decision has been made to start phasing out Carl's Sims 3 Gallery. The Gallery has become large and expensive for Carl to allow it to continue growing at the current pace. Effective immediately, there will be no new accounts approved for the Gallery. Those of you who already have accounts will be fine for now, but it will be a good idea to start looking for a different online host for your images (such as
Photobucket) and begin making the transition from using the Gallery to using your new host. The existing images on the Gallery will remain online for as long as we have a good readership here on the Forum, which we expect to be for at least two or three years as the popularity of Sims 3 fades now that all of the expansions have been released. I'll make further announcements over these next months as we continue to phase out the Gallery. However, for now the only real change is not allowing new accounts.
Some of you have uploaded a lot of images (in the thousands) that are probably only being stored on the Gallery, which was not the purpose of the Gallery. It was to be used only for images that are posted here on the Forum. Therefore, I would like to ask everyone to please try to remove images that have not been used in stories or other posts. I understand that it could be difficult to know for sure which ones can go and that's ok, but please just try to reduce the number as much as you can.
