Hi Everyone!
We have the finalized list and I am waiting on a whole ton of questions from participants so far I only have Punkxprince's questions for the review UPDATE! Added KinoLRB's questions! We are supposed to kick off today so if everyone could get those over to me I would super appreciate it! Also if there is anyone else who would like to join last minute I will be monitoring the thread and my PM box till 12 EST tonight!

1. When you first visit my page what are you drawn to first? Why?
2. How does the organization feel, is there something you would change about it, and why?
3. I have been working on my gallery intermittently for the last year trying to keep up the descriptions how do you feel about the setup of the descriptions and why?
Sensei question...
Is there anything you think is missing in the way I have my gallery set up and what would you like to see added?
PunkxPrince

1. When you first visit my page what are you drawn to first? Why?
2. If you could change one thing about my page what would it be and why?
3. I have recently started the process of more extensively updating my gallery. My entire Trigun section has been redone the way I intend to do the rest of my collection. Do you like the way I have updated my Trigun collection with episode number and scene info or would you prefer a different way to group the cels such as by character?
Sensei Question...
PunkxPrince could not think of a specific question for Sensei, but Sensei if you could pick one question from the list where you could offer the most insight that would be greatly appreciated!
KinoLRB

1. When you first visit my page, what are you most drawn to, and why?
2. Recently, I combined all of my American cartoons to one category: Americatoons. Should I keep them consolidated, or should I give each show its own category? The same question applies to my misCELanious section. Should I keep these cels together, or should I give each show/film its own category?
3. What would you change about my gallery, and why?
Sensei Question...
What can I do to improve the descriptions in my gallery?

1. What’s something you liked about the gallery? Any particular items, gallery display, design, anything.
2. What’s something that you didn’t particularly care for? Why? How would you like to see it differently?
3. Ask me anything!

1. If a page/collector specializes in a single show, do you prefer it to be at the top of the listings as on my page?
2. Separate sections for dougas/gengas, good, bad, or meh?
3. I've divided my Gundam Wing sections into Characters and Mobile Suits (mecha). Would you prefer to see it divided into even more specific sections (Males/Females, Gundams, Regular Suits, etc)?
Sensei Question...
Paper or plastic : )

1. When you first visit my page what are you drawn to first and why? What is your first impression?
2. The layout of the frontpage of my gallery is quite crude with a hastily made banner and crude black background. Thinking of going for a complete colour and design overhaul of my gallery's frontpage, probably commissioning a custom pencil drawn banner and having a lighter coloured background. Would you suggest this a good idea and do you have any design idea's or tips?
3. Upon looking through my uploaded pieces, are there any images you believe should be rescanned? Are there any uploaded sets that you would like to see completely scanned and turned into an animated gif?
And the question for sensei:
What do you feel is the weakest part of my collection? (Don't worry, I won't be offended)

1) When you first visit my page what are you drawn to first? Why?
2) What do you think of the new layout? Do you have any suggestions to improve it?
3) How many items do you feel are necessary for a section to be split from a general listing? For example, I have four sketches currently viewable from an artist and they're all located in one of the original artwork categories. Should I give the artist their own section with these four items, or should I wait until I add more? I'm concerned that doing this too frequently causes too many categories to scroll through and want to keep these sections to a minimum.
Cutiebunny has no particular question for Sensei...
theultimatebrucelee - Only wants reviews from peeps who have not reviewed the gallery before! (Well... you'll for sure get one from me!)

1.Have you been following anime seasons in recent years? If so, what are some of your favor series from past seasons? If not, what series have you watched recently?
2. At this point of your collecting career, do you have plan or interest to expand collection into more series or would you prefer to focus on your current trend? Are there any artwork from series, when given the chance you'd like to pursuit?
3. What are your general impressions when visiting my gallery? Is there any item that would trigger a revisit?
Question to Sensei: Given your extensive collecting experience, what do you foreseen of this hobby and collector group in 5 years? What are some significant changes you would predict?
Extra reviewers Quacker, Majinuub, and eyes0neme19 please get started on the galleries that have posted questions! I will be sending PM's shortly to those who have not posted or sent questions! Thanks!

? I should be able to finish since it's only a few this year.
(I still have my notes from 2008, when the open house took a month and had 38 galleries participating. That was a marathon that only the heartiest 2/3 of participants finished.)
