Erik, Why wouldn't you. That's the whole point of Gallery. If I was a new member I would like to see pictures from 2000 and on if they were available. Unless I misunderstood the purpose of AGA gallery.
There was no AGA gallery until last month. There was "some pictures from last year's convention, arranged in a manner that people might enjoy for a bit." I never thought it was important to keep them around for years and years, and to tell you the truth, today's e-mail was the first I've heard of anyone actually looking for them. It was my opinion that they take up space and use up bandwidth with people sucking down the entire website, that could otherwise be used by things like the aquascaping contest.
Never felt things were "archival enough" to warrant keeping, and frankly still feel this way about the Gallery this year. It still feels kind of ad-hoc and temporal, nothing that would deserve archive status. The photos are just kinda thrown in bins by their photographer. It's like having a bunch of boxes of pictures. Doesn't feel like "an album of the convention".
I have my own personal archive of most of the previous years' originals, and if folks think it's worthwhile, I can put them up. The first year's photos are also on the DVD.
