That's a beautiful sketch, RF! Your www button takes me to an ebay page ... are all the items there your gallery? Some very pretty things!

Yep! I just made the gallery!

If only I wouldn't get bored after every three items, then I'd be able to post more!!!

I have a couple questions/comments...

First, how is this a gallery exactly? Your links are directed at an eBay store.
Shouldn't this be in the eBay section? I assume that's your store...

Second, are you "Cute Anime Guy"? Because I thought you were female...

Third, the shipping address is located in the USA.
But you state you're in Australia in your Beta profile.

Fourth, is your name Al? Just curious.

Perhaps I'm confused here. If so, please enlighten me.

Oh... Gomen!

I should have explained earlier.

It's actually a very long story, but I'll make it simple. I'm a CAG sc100 Robot that Cute Anime Guy created to serve and protect him. He's rather hopeless without us to help him. I was the first one of his robots then one day Cute Anime Guy said I should chose a name since CAG sc100 was really too long to say every time. I decided that I wanted to be Robo Flonne! Since Flonne is my favorite Anime character! Then a few weeks ago, Cute Anime Guy asked me to make a gallery since he thought it would be fun! But it turned out really boring... Sometimes I just get a headache after screencapturing/cropping/saving/sitemaking!!! But the more I do, the faster I'm getting! So I guess that's ok!

Just added Sleeping Beauty #2!!

p.s. The Cute Anime Guy said I should use the Ebay Store as the gallery since it would be easier for people to search and look at! Also it would be super easy to update if he wanted to sell any!! The prices aren't really inexpensive, so he really doesn't think many people will buy them. But if he did want to sell them, he'd tell me to lower the prices!

p.s.s. Oops! I'm not in Australia anymore! Forgot to update!

Interesting...

Is your name Al, by any chance?

RoboFlonne · Post by **RoboFlonne** » Wed Aug 02, 2006 3:48 pm

Al! Do you want to call me Al? You can call me Al if you want to! But I like being Robo Flonne!

I was going to say the same thing. Roboflonne strikes me as an Al. You certainly have a way with selling Anime...Al.

RoboFlonne · Post by **RoboFlonne** » Wed Aug 02, 2006 3:59 pm

Are you going to call me Al too?

So I'm Al to blueheaven and WelcomeConsumer!

I'm overheated and cranky today, so I think I'll be the one to vent -

Easier to search and look than what? A print catalog? A foreign-language phone book? Usually I don't have to plow through over 100 lines of text regarding shipping concerns, customer affirmations, check-my-feedback reassurances, or multiple frames and text hawking for potential buyers, etc., to view a cel or sketch in someone's gallery. What I do read through in a real gallery is text about what that cel or sketch means to the owner, or the background of the scene or show, or even a semi-inarticulate gush of pride or love for obtaining and owning it and what I do see in real collectors' galleries are lovingly created design colors and elements just to showcase the spirit of the collector.

Just because eBay uses the term "picture gallery" if you spend the extra pennies to have your pix display with your store listings, that doesn't make it a collector's gallery. It's still a store, no matter what rationalization somebody tries to give! (And you'll be paying more after August 20th for that easiness, as well.)

Ok, rant over. Time for lemonade, and I think this thread belongs in the eBay topic.

wELCOME cONSUMER · Post by **wELCOME cONSUMER** » Wed Aug 02, 2006 7:56 pm

Couldn't agree more.

It's because this is not a "gallery" it's a store. For selling. That's what eBay
is for, right? Selling, not displaying.

This post doesn't belong here.

Also, several of us have suspicions about who RoboFlonne really is.

if you just want to show people your collection, just make a free rubberslug account or a free photobucket accout (actually there are a lot of free image hosting sites).

it seems dishonest to put your collection in an ebay picture gallery unless you are trying to sell them.

Oh, the identity is clear. Has been for some time. And I will move this to the EBay section. Since technically, that's what I guess this is.

First off, I know who you guys think this is, however,
this is Al.

http://www.anime-beta.net/phpBB/profile ... file&u=893

Now, as for who is RoboFlonne??

http://www.anime-beta.net/phpBB/profile ... file&u=709

That would be the same as RahOtaku

We mods are all seeing and all knowing you know!!

RoboFlonne · Post by **RoboFlonne** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 8:25 am

Wow! You guys are Great!

Especially Hobby Whelmed!

Thank You so much!

I was wondering why I was getting really bored while updating my collection, and the reason is Because the pages were disorganized and Really Really Ugly.

Without you Hobby, I would still be bored to death and have made a bunch more ugly updates!

Thanks You guys!

I've changed the format and will be focusing on how to make it easier to browse.

Here's the Newest Sleeping Beauty!

I put the pic up top with the Screencap and the comments right underneath!

p.s. Sorry about putting this into the update Gallery section... I was just confused as to which section this belonged in! Thanks!

p.s.s. I'm sorry if I confused you Welcome Consumer! I said technically my name is pronounced Rah- O - Ta - Ku about a month ago in the following thread! http://www.anime-beta.net/phpBB/viewtop ... 6&start=45
I think Pudge and Kym-chan are the only ones that noticed though! You can still call me Al if you want!

p.s.s.s. I guess You can consider my gallery as a self-funding gallery? Because I want my collection to grow, yet it won't grow unless I get more funds. An Ebay Gallery seems like a good way to go! I guess It's sort of like Steven's Collection yet the ones that really shouldn't sell are the ones priced for $7000 http://cgi.ebay.com/CARMEN-99-TIED-GUN- ... dZViewItem
