The recent purge (I'll use the polite term) of UnUsed pics, imnho, rolled a ton of treasure down a hill into the ocean, to sink beneath the waves along with many tons of untreasure. I'd ask that "we" let the UnUsed pics build up to the 1,000 mark again. I often used Special pages:Unused photos to find pics, must have done so over a hundred times for my own pages and other pages. It was like shopping in a used book store, never knowing what I'd find around the next corner or behind the other books on a shelf. Now, most used book stores are online, and our unused pics are gone, and personally my experience on uncy is and will be that much more diminished. Aside from just faces of people, gamescreens, and very obviously simple-minded pics of drawings or something, I don't think letting the Special pages file build up again is too much to ask of the ~~butchers~~ diligent admins who've done-in thousands and thousands and thousands of pics, with my indirect help, I am an indirect huffer, for which I've cried the tears of a clown.

This is Lyrthria's death list after the others were huffed. This is from March 17th on. Please return them all until this forum is talked out. Thank you. Aleister 23:46 21-3-'11

That... *points down* Was the cleanup after the list itself had holes, from Special:UnusedFiles. Except for the drunk woman. That was just a duplicate. I couldn't be arsed to find the other one at the time so just added it to the list to deal with later. I found it now, though.

Relax, mon. We're done. Might delete some particularly bad/pointless ones now and then, and duplicates are automatic goners, but the whole purginess is done.

Like I said on my talkpage, I think from now on we will be purging UnusedFiles annually. Although we may not have to if users become more diligent about saving unused images to their own personal galleries. Also, if we could set up a gallery of all the galleries that would be great. -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 06:02, March 22, 2011 (UTC)
