I wrote this story on the LMBs, and it was my best one, so I'm archiving it here.
The Day the Galleries Shut Down by Stephanie3965
I excitedly selected pictures of the great LEGO Friends Clothing Store I had made. Happily I posted them on the LEGO Friends Gallery. I typed my description and tagged the creation. I clicked "Submit" and gazed at the little yellow sign saying "Pending". Hopefully the Mods would get to it soon.
My username is Nicki2204. I simply loved the galleries. I only posted on the Friends* one, but still, it was so much fun. I made an edit on the Artmaker and saved it, then posted it. Then I looked at the Gallery. There were thousands of posts begging people to enter their contests, join their clubs, and comments on their creations. Hundreds of users commented, joining their clubs, and promising to enter their contests.
But none did what they promised to do. Everyone wanted attention. People began leaving because their stories weren't read, their drawings weren't looked at, they didn't get more than five comments or five likes, nobody looked at their stuff. I looked around the gallery and sighed. It was no longer a happy, jolly, place to be. It was a place of a few proud, users rejoicing that their creations got a lot of likes and comments, and several other users begging for attention.
I decided I needed to do som,ething about this disasterous gallery.
I submitted a creation to the Mods explaining my problem and telling them to reject it and give me a response. I foud out I was dealing with White Alligator. The creation was rejected with a message from White Alligator. "Dear, Nicki I regret to inform you that all of the Mods have discussed this presentation, and have decided that we will shut all of the LEGO.com galleries down, permanantly. Users must now communicate on the Message Boards. ~White Alligator" I stared, looking horrified. No galleries! I sighed.
