So. Since it seems to bring up a lot of attention here lately...
Why don't we create a subforum in the OOC section for pictures? Everybody can post their own thread, with their human's name on it, and post their pictures. And anytime they fill like putting in some new ones, they can just modify their first post?
This allows room for commentary with out going through an assload of pages to look for something you want to talk about. And, You can actually look at one person at a time instead of strolling through quoted comments that repost someone's pictures over and over again.
Just an idea.

But then it'd become a popularity contest of who has more replies, etc. Were this put to a vote, (which it likely won't be, and that's fine) I'd say no.

Don't you mean it already -is- a popularity contest of who has more replies?
Besides that, I'd like to make a poll for this, and you can say no all you want but also try to remember that other people have opinions and then remember that not everyone has nor do they want to spend as much time as -others- looking at pictures.

Sweetie, all I did was express my opinion.

Well. There's a poll. Now we can see what the readers think.

Sure, why not? If someone doesn't want their picture seen, they won't post it.
Would there be separate threads for things like meet-ups? I know I've got a backlog of pictures with some of the Aus players.

Different suggestion of sorts: This poll isn't gaining much attention and my guess is because of where it's at. Maybe if it were moved to the OOC section where people there would undoubtedly respond more, it might be more effective.

I'm yes for a subforum. If I wanna see the pictures of a person. I can at least click their link. It'd be great and it would be efficient.
YEY!

I'd feel far too egotistical posting my own thread of pictures of just me. I mean, it's different throwing one into the general picture section, but creating my own thread? Nah.

Surprisingly, this hasn't been addressed by a mod yet. >.o Well, I'll look at it this way.
SO FAR the poll shows that people would prefer a more organizational way to view photos, a Bite 'yearbook' so to speak. At this time I'll tentatively commit myself to getting that set up after the poll closes on the 9th, if the Yes votes still trump the others.
HOWEVER.
For those of you who don't wish to participate in having your own thread in a sub-board, then you are more than welcome to keep posting to the clusterfuck thread, which will be moved into the sub-board. There's no reason why the idea can interfere with what we've already got going on, however, everyone has to accept that if you don't sort through the clusterfuck thread, then you're going to miss things that might not be posted in the individual threads. The same can be said vice versa.
However, considering that I like to view this as a bit of a majoritarian democracy, most people who are actually interested in Bite enough to read the suggestion section are saying that they'd like to see more organization, and I'm not adverse to that.
HOWEVER.
I cannot stop people from clustering your individual threads with comments on your photos either. So for those of you complaining about commentary; this will probably solve very little. All it will give, is an individual space for a person to show off their photos and for other people to comment on it. The only difference is that you get to pick and choose whose photos you want to look at.
The people who are only interested in posting one photo of themselves and moving on, I'd say that you can choose either to create a thread for yourself or keep it into the clusterfuck thread. It's up to you.
For now, I'll give it a temporary thumbs up until the poll closes this weekend.

YEY! That's a happy compromise... works for me. I don't mind commentary. I just couldn't fathom wading through 50 pages of it.

No. I'm kinda anal about marking all posts read before I sign off. The sub-forums we already have are annoying me.
I don't have time for that shit.

There is always that little, "Mark topics read" button.
