Maybe you know me... I'm Janina from Frankfurt (Germany) and the creator of this website.

When I was still in school I used to draw my friends and celebrities in South Park style. Then I thought: "Hey, maybe this would be a nice online tool for people who can't draw themselves." And the SP-Studio was born. I am not a real coder, so all I know about Flash was learned by trial and error.
After studying I worked for an advertising agency for a couple of months but I realized that's not my kind of job. I need freedom and enough time to work on my own projects. So I decided to risk working as a freelancer for webdesign and illustrations - and I was lucky, because I can still pay my rent ;).

Now I am 29 years old (I guess I am the oldest around here?), though I am often told I look younger. Maybe this comes from my "childish" hobbies. I love all kind of video- and boardgames, collect Lego minifigs and South Park merchandsing and visitors say our home looks like a toy museum. My biggest hobby used to be painting / drawing, but unfortunately I got a bit lazy lately. I should finish more pictures. Oh, and my husband and I love movies. Our DVD collection contains more than 1000 titles and is still growing. I rarely watch TV.

My favorite movies include Memento, Natural Born Killers, Life of Brian, Highlander, The Shawshank Redemption, The Mist, V for Vendetta, American Beauty, Shoot em up, Ju On, Battle Royale, Being John Malkovich, Batman begins, Donnie Darko, Little shop of Horrors, Braindead... and many trash horror movies :D. They are the best for a funny evening with friends.
My favorite TV show is South Park (sure), but I am also a big fan of Lost and Mystery Science Theater 3000.

I grew up in a wonderful house (over 100 years old, built by an artist) with a big garden and a lot of pets. So though I live in a big city I enjoy nature and to be around animals. We can't have cats or dogs here, but my hamsters Snood and Knoet are cute too.

What else can I tell about myself... I hate girlie stuff, superficiality and prejudices. I never wear skirts, I think make up is ugly and I can fix my computer myself. Most of the time ;).

And that's me:

You are supposed to tell something about yourself - mods are not allowed to spam

I can change from 10 to 5 stars easily, but the other things will need some time.

Thanks :). I have to make you a mod first, wait a minute.

I think I can allow users to turn off comments for their own gallery, but not the rating. This is a global setting. But I will have a closer look, maybe there's an add-on to make it possible.

Regarding the old thumbnail pages: Right now the thumbnails are very big. This has the advantage you can look through most pictures without clicking on them. But I understand why you prefer the smaller thumbnails. Perhaps it's best to wait till all moderators have registered and then we will have a vote on this issue. Small thumbnails vs big thumbnails.

There are "new comments" and "new pictures" links in the gallery. I can make them bigger and put it at a better place, that's no problem.

Comments or even guestbooks on profiles can be added if you want this. There's an add-on. But this might be something everbody will have then, so be sure if you want it.

There are several design changes I want to make in the gallery... for example stars for the rating. And you can decide if you prefer 10 or 5 (or 100 ;)) stars.

Here we can collect things I still have to change in the gallery & forum.
If something looks weird or doesn't work - tell me :).

• Gallery: Stars rating instead of just numbers (difficult, will do it later)
• Gallery: links on top of image: user gallery, sub gallery,...
• IE bug: main menu items with drop down menu (which version?)
• Team: table header looks wrong
