Time doesn’t effect the search function, lol.
I went back though several of your non-auto picture threads in OT. No one complained that I could see. I did notice however that your threads got little views and only a handful of responses. It almost makes the case to keep everything in the random picture thread.
There’s nothing stopping anyone from creating a thread in OT if they have a set of pictures they want to post together and have a discussion about. If I have a random shot I like, I throw in the random picture thread. When I did that whole set along the Buffalo River I created a thread for it. Seems to work just fine.
I see Josh’s point about there not being enough traffic right now to drive a dedicated section. Maybe this summer when some of the lazy photo guys (like me) get off our ass and start getting the camera out more traffic will go up.
Where the hell has Micah been anyway?
i remember some comments from a while ago, not sure on the thread though
i think the reason for little views, is that its in the ot forum, once it goes past being near the top, no one is seeing it. i’m not going to bump my own thread. imo having them in the photo section is getting the people that actually want to look at pictures and are interested in them to look…but thats just my take on it after running message boards for over 10 years
but in any case, i’ve said what i need to
If 65% of NYSpeed members use ‘new posts’ then it doesn’t matter if the thread is at the top of the OT section or on page 35. If the topic is interesting, then people will continue to discuss it and it will stay in ‘new posts.’
My whole point is that photography just isn’t that interesting to the majority of members. Your previous threads prove it.
like i said personally it doesn’t matter to me, i just wont be posting threads for photos. less things for me to do honestly. i’m just giving my opinion
might as well look at the home section as well, no posts in 3 days, the photo thread gets more than that day-to-day. hell there was maybe 10 people in this thread that i know take pictures on a regular basis that said they would post in it…thats a start
could say the same about the dead for 3 days bike forum, but i’m sure that picks up come summer, as would the photo stuff if people had somewhere to post it.
Seriously man, enough with the “waaaa, I’m taking my ball and going home” stuff. You’re not some amazing artist where we’re all just hoping to see your latest shot. No one gives a damn if you stop posting your mediocre pictures. Mine aren’t that great either but I’m not sitting here trying to threaten not posting them like it’s some huge loss that people will be upset about.
:GIANTCLAP:
lol you obviously aren’t paying attention, i haven’t posted any in a while, and haven’t said anything about it until someone else and many of them brought it up…so i dont see how i’m threatening anything at all?
mediocre or not, i make money off my photography, and get to shoot some pretty neat events/things…so i could care less lol…just bought a D2x with money from photography for the most part, pretty sure i’m doing just fine with this still being just a hobby of mine
and just for the sake of argument, you haven’t seen probably 1/8th of my work…if that
new posts and subscriptions ftw. I have my bookmark set to usercp so I see any new relevant posts I am involved in then I hit ‘new posts’ for the rest.
edit: in regards to the new post button, is there anyway for it to display more than 20 results per page like the post/page option?
Pretty OT but +1 to this question.
We can probably make that happen. We’re working on having all the blogs, articles, thread ratings (like they used to) show up in ‘New Posts.’
that would be nice, nobody ever sees the news articles
The news articles are simply there in accordance with this: http://www.nyspeed.com/showthread.php?162530
The new stuff we’re working on is really to better integrate the ‘Blogs’ into the forum.
Wordpress import?!
