Normally, updates older than 20 days and comments older than 100 days are supposed to be automatically culled, but since the server switch in November that hadn't been happening. So, I just re-enabled this and spent 2 hours running the script that deletes all the old updates. Sorry for the inconvenience, but hopefully this should help resolve the complaints people were having about too many old updates in their boxes.

User sushiy is trying to start a yaoi convention on the east coast. If this is something you would be interested in going to, check out the East Coast Yaoi Convention Project club for more information.

BrucesGirl is setting up an unofficial y!Gallery meet-up at A-Kon 2008. If you're going to be at A-Kon and would like to get together with other y!Gallery members in person, check out the Y!Gallery At Akon club.

There seems to be a wildly inaccurate article floating around in at least 31 people's journals at this point regarding orphan works and copyright law reform. The article referenced is completely wrong, so I would like to direct anyone that's read or posted about it to read my journal entry about it. Sorry for soapboxing, and have a nice day.

(Remember kids, less than 5 minutes of research on Wikipedia and/or Google can keep you from looking like a reactionary fool! Not everything you read on the Internet is true, especially when it's inflammatory!)

2005-02-14 - y!Gallery opens
2006-02-14 - 1 year!
2007-02-14 - 2 years!
2008-02-14 - 3 years of yaoi!

And now for me to tug on your guilt strings and ask to have you send some donations and get our budget back on track for the year (we're not not $206 in the red)!

Thanks everyone for a great start. We're now officially toddlers!

Happy Valentine's day,
