I deleted your "discussion" from my topic because my post was not about any one of you two. Keep your shit out of my topics. It's disgusting to me and I informed you about this on numerous occasions. The universe is not about you, you know...
Also, if you keep insulting Johns in this topic, I will move it into dumpster.
And if you two keep writing shit about each other in forum - the first one who writes from this moment will win the ban from forum if reported by another, and if instead of reporting you play along - I will ban both.
My discussion/post was a result of the other member's post.
Why did you delete my post about my birthday? It's true, I do have a birthday that is approaching. If other members are able to advertise their birthday, why can't I?
Okay, I get it, you're going to spank me and move this thread to the "Dumpster" if I continue to use it to be disrespectful to JohnS. What about the evaluation/abuse page? JohnS and his posse have used that platform to make unecessary remarks about members as well as references directed toward me. I am interested in a clear understanding of your expectations for both venues and equitable treatment.
I'm not aware of any remarks he made about you on the panel. I do not read it often but I have a log. Discarded reports are not in the log, only when reported member is deleted, it goes into log. And I just checked it - there was no anything bad said in connection with your name or "defender of the fakes" as they may call you. I.e. nothing that I could connect to you.
It's very simple - do not assume that I see everything, when Johns makes an explicit abusive remark about you next time on the panel, report it to me and he will be blocked from the panel.
My opinion, admin should revamp his idea to mirror Ellen's "Would You Rather" and rename it "Would You Rather?". "If You Are Bored" does not sound appealing and advertising a feature titled "If You Are Bored" on the main page does not seem like good business if you are attempting to attract new membership to this site.
How I would revamp the category would be to limit the selection of pictures to 10 or 20. Start out with 2 pictures and ask the viewer "Would You Rather". After their selection is made, you remove the photo that was not selected and replace it with a new picture. Same question, "Would You Rather" and repeat the process. After viewing all the pictures, you have a clearcut preference. At the end of the week, award the "winner" 10 to 20 points. If there is a tie, divide the bounty and distribute evenly. My suggestion for the pictures of members featured in the "Would You Rather" category be a selection of members featured on the Popular page that DID NOT make it to the #1 spot. Members who chose to participate in the "Would You Rather" category are limited to one play so that it would make manipulation difficult.
For those who might not know what countryboy referred to, here's the link.
People who are not logged in do not see this section and couple of other sections. They are not meant to attract people, but rather to give existing members something to do.
And it's not meant as another contest, though I could make it as such. It has 2 purposes:
1. to show people pics that did not receive much visits, i.e. to give unpopular members another chance
2. to give members possibility to spend some time doing mindless clicking. I find this process meditative and fascinating myself despite its apparent silliness. the only problem with it is that there is no enough "unpopular" female images on the site to occupy someone for a long time. I went through all of them couple of times just in one hour while I was testing it.
And by the way - there are studies indicating that multiple choice gives too much stress to the brain, even though people do not notice it directly. Choice out of 2 is better if we have a purpose of relaxation.
Okie dokie, then! I understand of wanting to give exposure to members that received less views, but then what?
Some of the pictures I viewed were in no way appealing ( to me ) and when it seemed that all that I saw made me say "Ewww!" I wanted to stop but there didn't seem to be an end. Justmy opinion, everything needs a beginning and an end.
When you want to stop, hit the "main page" or "your profile" link. Though that you could not stop kinda proves that it works
As for "then what?" - this is a social site. Aside from viewing pics some people make friends (virtual or real) here and sometime even fuck buddies. So, it's another however small chance that someone will meet someone.
As for whats in it for me - people mostly want to show themselves to other people on this site. If they don't receive attention, they often leave. So I'm giving those people another chance to be seen and receive attention, thus potentially keeping more members on the site.
Yes, I understand that people make friends ( virtual and real ) here, but when I'm flipping through pictures, trying to determine which one I prefer, I think that there must be a purpose to this "poll" that I'm participating. The idea of taking a detour to comment on a picture or clicking on anything to see who the member is, is not on my mind. Just sayin'.
I got an idea. The ones with these lame ass pics that no one views (obviously for a reason). Why don't we give them the option at a half price discount to purchase some points to post their pics on the main banner so the will receive more votes. It's all about the Benjamins baby. Gotta spend money if you want to run with the Big Dogs I was told. You allow unpopular members to buy their wins in the Excitement Game. (Not you Ms bella) But yet in this category we are to show sympathy for the less popular. I call Bullshit on this one too.
If you don't like it, simply don't use it. Yes, at least half of pics appearing on that page are shit.
However, I'm aware that many members don't go beyond main page/category at all. I remember one member who was here for several years and did not know there was a video category until recently.
And in the same time some people post interesting pics into misc category or without any category at all, they are visible only on their profile. Those pics often are not viewed enough not because they are bad, but simply because they are not on a visible spot. And I meant those pics to be discovered.
Take a look at the current "rated" top there - /rate_images.php?view are those that bad?
I am so excited that a Dunkin Donuts is opening right by my house. It will be nice to just go for donuts whenever you want, rather than having to pick them up on the way somewhere, because the current closest Dunkin Donuts is an inconvenient place.
I don't know if it's because I'm not a "coffee snob" or because I don't drink coffee enough to know when one particular coffee is superior to another, but tonight I stopped at McDonald's and purchased a coffee with cream, it was hot and really quite good! Whodah thunk!?
food wise, there's pret a manger, although i believe they were bought out by mcdonalds? bodyshop is a brit franchise, if it's still going, again i believe it was bought by l'oreal?
We are half way there and it looks like another 2 member break a way for the finish line. Who will it be, who's gonna win that title of The Most Exciting member on the site. Who's your money on, who's your pick, who are you pulling for. It's like a NASCAR race, so damn much excitement I can't take the suspense. It's driving me bananas. Let's just hope that this new Champ will be more Exciting than our past Champ.
Is anyone else thinking that the Excitement Meter contest might not be the best name for it. I'd like to hear if anyone has some other suggestions on a more appropriate name for this contest.
IT'S TRUE, UNICORNS DO EXIST AND RUN FREELY IN CALIFORNIA!
"Several drivers called 911 after seeing what they thought was a unicorn running around the highway.
The unicorn turned out to be a white pony with a fake horn tied to its head. Officials say it was at a ch.ild’s birthday party when it escaped. It took California Highway Patrol officers hours to catch the animal and get her back to her owners. Officials say they will not cite the owner.
The female pony, named Juliet, belongs to a little girl. Juliet makes her living by posing in pictures with people, dressed as the unicorn."
I gifted THE anonymous asswipe a bitch slap. Any doo-rag wearing member who would be so cowardly to send another member an insulting anonymous message is clearly nothing but a straight up
It looks like the deleted your gift, alexblue's gift and my gift because they're missing. So that's what the uses his points for, to destroy unwanted gifts. Strange thing is, it doesn't change how other members feel about him!
I'm going to send another just so the knows I'm thinking about him!
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

What would be your suggestion for a more appropriate title?

So sorry that you find the emoticon lame and annoying but when it fits, it fits!
