we’re sorry it took too long for us to call back…
Hello and a happy new year to all of you who have stuck with us for so long! as many of you are aware, we have been working behind the scenes to revamp the network, bringing a more efficient, structured directory that will better provide our members’ resources to the community. It has been six years since we first opened gif pack network in 2014, with a lofty goal to bring a network of gif creators together, along with a cohesive directory to showcase their work. Many of you have seen us grow over the years, and with this growth has come a learning curve when it comes to compiling and sharing the work the members have created. We found that the growing volume of packs was sometimes difficult to keep up with as admins, and that the process that once worked for our fledgling group was no longer efficient for the quickly growing network. We also found that the website itself had difficulty supporting the massive amount of data in the directory. So, we made the decision to create a better, smoother, more efficient directory!
We are very proud to announce the grand reopening of gif pack network! Join us as we unveil the new structure, and take a look around!
Below are a few important links and pieces of information that will help you navigate the new gif pack network!
the directory: hosted on google sheets, we hope that our new directory is easier to navigate and provides followers with important information from each pack including gender, ethnicity, and the footage the packs are from. This is updated not only by the admins, but the members themselves, truly making the network member driven and supported
the members: this is where you can find all of our current members and which ones are available for requests. A huge thanks goes out to @luckycodes, who created this beautiful page for us and has been a great source of support. We are not currently accepting new members, but previous members are encouraged to reapply. Keep an eye out for upcoming announcements regarding new applicants in the near future!
the handbook: this is your guide to the network’s new structure, how to apply, and what being a member entails. it’s a more in depth view on our members responsibilities so you know what you’re getting into before you join
the faq: do you still have questions? please see our faq to answer some of those and find more clarification!
We are also introducing a brand new blog that will work alongside the network. @gpnsupport ! This blog will feature resources for creators, including how to create, color, and post your gifs! This will replace our current chatbox and allow members of the rpc to make gif pack suggestions.
We would also like to take this time to thank the people that make GPN - the many members that continue to provide resources to this community. We are so grateful to every member of the network that has worked alongside us to make the new GPN possible. Thank you for being patient with us as we worked to bring this new iteration of the network to fruition.
To our followers, we are grateful for the support you have shown the creators in this community, and for continuing to follow us through this journey.
Thank you all for making this community a place we keep coming back to, one that is comforting, inclusive, and creative. Please enjoy the revamped Gif Pack Network, we made it just for you.
