Butch picture thread ..

dixie · 07-14-2011, 09:29 PM

I thought the reason we did not have a photo thread is because admin once told us that they prefer that we did not. Daywalker (I think) already had the idea for a photo thread once before. Admin gave us reasons why it was not a good idea. I think something to do with bandwidth or one of those technical term thingys. I don't see a problem with clicking under someone's name either. Then again, sometimes I'm a bit crotchety myself. lol

if Bandwidth was a worry, why is there a Youtube thread and "find me a picture" thread.

I don't mind clicking under names too. I would rather someone click for my picture because they enjoyed what I said. Other than seeing my picture and then looking to see if I am smart.

As I said, I don't remember the exact reason.

I think it also had to do with having bots searching and being able to have some since of privacy, or something.

Interestingly, there is an entire thread dedicated to asking admin and tech just these sorts of questions.

Yeah, that's another good reason. Oh hey, but then we could put the thread in one of those private forums! And on it goes, so no one has to actually pay to enjoy that additional perk of paid membership. Maybe we could all just get baby emus as thank you gifts instead.

I'm sort of curious as to why the OP only wanted to post butch pictures.

I want a golden retriever puppy. Emus are too tall.

Ah, found it. Not so technical after all, but a reason nonetheless. "Using a thread as a gallery space circumvents the intent of the gallery and also lessens the value of the gallery space." Whether or not this is still the case, I don't know. Just throwing it out there.

yeah, that made sense. Thank you for the explanation, Dixie.

I can't help it, I'm getting a kick out of this.

Yes, I think that was it.

And paying for a membership effectively means you help pay for the bandwidth all those photos use up.
