    The 'lovely' members of the UL forum have just revived interested in Boards Biki (based on wikipedia) and I went to look to see if there was a biki entry for this forum and surprise surprise its blank http://wiki.boards.ie/wiki/Board:Photography, just waiting to be edited!

    :evil laugh:

    Btw, you ALL have your own biki page, which ANY user can edit. As I just had the misfortune to find out about. :(

    Anyhoo.. who is going to write the forum entry then... :)

    My internet humour is not good enough!! Unless of course you want it to be a helpful entry.

    "The Photography Board"

    Ruled with an iron fist by Rymus, our God, our Great, our Dictator. The subject is photography.

    On the photography board, everybody knows your name, and it's possible they know what you look like too because of one of 440Hz's stickies.

    They're good to organise things like 1) photographic shoots in the wilds of Kerry and 2) in Dublin, after dark. Implies a certain deathwish. Oh and Waterford. Wasn't there something in Waterford too?

    Interested in seeing other people's photography and providing useful (no, seriously) feedback to same.

    Site of many internecine wars between Nikon and Canon users. Strangely enough, the Minolta and Olympus users manage to stay out of any disputes. For the record, Canon rules A1, or, given the passing of time, Cnn rulz 350D. Or possibly 400D. Or maybe 30D.

    Everyone there covets at least one piece of equipment owned by someone else. Personally I acquired a 50-500mm Sigma there a few days ago. Bow down and weep with envy.

    Scene of the Photo Challenge (which occasionally goes heads up against the Boards.ie Flickr Photo Challenge which is, apparently, and possibly, something entirely different. Rymus rules the Photo Challenge; 440Hz governs over the Boards.ie Flickr Photo Challenge). I think. I'm not too clear on the hierarchical structure of wizards I mean photographers who organise stuff.

    Scene also of the Digital Darkroom. How to be Ansel Adams without all those smelly chemicals. Photoshop is your King, unless you're broke in which the GIMP is free (and frankly I achieve more Ansel Adams effect with the GIMP than I do with PS but that's just me).

    The Photography Board in Boards.ie. Cheers, but for camera nuts, not Kirstie Alley fans. .

    Cheers Calina!!! Thats up now as a work in progress. I tried to think of as many people as I could for the 'regular posters' section so sorry if i forgot anyone, please login and edit and add yourself, and sorry again!!

    I see some people have added pages of their own. for the record, I DID NOT write my own page, and it is ALL lies... except for the bit about the Beetle, and the coffee breaks!! (oh and maybe Steve Jobs lol)

    Her Biki is 110% accurate, as author of 440Hz authorised biography (The aforemented Biki entry) I confirm it to be nothing but pure truth, filtered through the rockies for that cool, refreshing blast of cool fresh truth!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,584 ✭✭✭leinsterman


    Hmnnn ... judging by the profile for the forum in biki ... a popular revolt is needed to bring control of the forum back to the capital ... 440Hz and Rymus are meglomanical tyrants from the wild west ... the pair of yez will be first against the wall come the revolution ...

    Actaully Biki it is quite a fun idea but I'm not sure I would like to write my own profile ... :o

    What is the general idea of it?.. fun or does it have a real application ?

    tis all fun, and the kinda 'unwritten' rule in the UL forum anyway is that you are not allowed to write your own. I tried, and they keep changing it (where is my ban hammer gone).

    As for me being a meglomanic, you read all those Nazi related lies about me didnt you?

    sigh

    Yes, clearly I do "think" I know you, having written your authorised biography! You shoulda seen the stuff I considered inappropriate!

    I've always considered it bad form to edit one's own Biki, and It should be left for people to extract the urine out of your personality!

    Al, done.

    Starting a few more now. Who to pick next.... only writing a few lines... so feel free to jump in and add some stuff anyone!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,735 ✭✭✭mikeanywhere


    Excuse my ignorance as until this thread started I had no idea that Wiki forums (or whatever you want to call them) existed.

    Does this mean that we duplicate posts??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,966 ✭✭✭elven


    Hmmm, a whole lot of red names there....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,424 ✭✭✭440Hz


    no, the biki section is not like a forum.. .think of wikipedia itself where there are millions of pages each dedicated to different topics... well the biki is like that except each forum and each forum member has a page (based on the wiki design) just waiting to be filled with information.

    So, the page for this forum WAS blank and now its not. Check it out by following the above link and you will know what I mean. If anyone else can explain it more comprehensively please do cos I have a really bad headache and im not making much sense.
