    I'd like to propose a change to the picture threads in here, similar to the "know your nerds" thread in AH. Basically Everytime you post you have to post a pic with it and not just some pic you found on the net.

    My reasoning behind this is basically there's a lot of good work in there and it needs to be shown off and at the moment there's to much signal to noise going on.

    What do ye think? Good idea or leave as is?

    Create and stick a new thread with just pics of ink and piercings, no chat 31 votes

    I think you're bang on Emmet, individual threads could be made if people want opinions on their tattoos. Rather than commenting, pictures that people like could be "thanked" instead...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    So make it a picture only thread? and cut out the banter?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    I think it's probably the best idea. The banter can be kept to the other threads.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    Ok I will get to it, cleaning it up etc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Before you do that, I'd say not to!!!

    Maybe un-sticky the existing one, and make a new sticky one with the new rules.

    People don't like having their posts deleted en-masse...

    If enough people agree I will unstick the thread, create a new one and stick it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Maybe create a poll on this thread with your uber-mod powah?

    Good work mod-man!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 186 ✭✭KhuntChops


    I voted yay :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    I think its the nature of forums that people will want to respond to things that they see, would it be possible to create a sitcky where people could only post pictures and no text?

    Maybe people can use the new fangled visitor remarks feature to make comments, ask questions etc?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    good idea

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    Maybe = atari jaguar


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 601 ✭✭✭Rory123


    Always there to enlighten me Wilburt! ;)
    Does not knowing that make me not a nerd?... Or does not knowing it make me a nerd?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    Just means you are new to boards is all. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 601 ✭✭✭Rory123


    Well my mom thinks I'm cool. I think I'll vote yes in this treaty...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    Snap! My mom says I'm cool too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    it's a good idea, but im not sure... leaving comments etc to the person's profile, im not mad on the notion. kills the concept of a forum, imo. but seems the majority are all in favour, so ah well :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Reku


    Actually Wilburt Atari Jaguar is not maybe, it's I don't care... tut tut, the wiki-foo is weak in that one...

    Damo's idea is good- "thank" the pictures you like.

    I agree that this kind of kills the concept of a forum, but it gets annoying when there's so many pictures to see but they're among complete waffle. And I'll admit, I'm very bad at doing it myself :o

    I'm sorry, I won't do it again...! :o

    but at the same time, it's nice to know the background to the picture... the ideas, the artist, etc etc. perhaps chat could be allowed as long as it is specifically directed at hte picture, instead of kinda wandering off topic a little...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    One step ahead dear crumble froo-froo! check the new thread


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 186 ✭✭KhuntChops


    Well done Willy....altho Im banned from AH for posting a genitials picture :(

    I find it highly unfair!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    Jaysis :pac:
    Well keep the nudie pics to PM's or whatever. I don't wanna ban anyone else to be honest


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 186 ✭✭KhuntChops


    It wasnt of my own lol dont be worrying I dont wish to be banned from here only place I feel normal (partly because your all strange :D)

    Intentionally or just that you slipped up? I did that once as it was part of an e-mail I got in work, completely slipped my mind that AH can be visited by kiddies, did make repeated apologies about it but thankfully Terry just laughed it off and understood it was an oversight on my part.:o
    At least even if you are banned it will time out eventually and you'll be allowed post there again AFAIK, so as long as you're more careful you should be ok.

    Come to think of it the only recent AH thread I could see someone posting a genitals pic in is the "describe your cock" one... wonder why KhuntChops would be posting a pic in that one... *hears music from the Crying Game*:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 186 ✭✭KhuntChops


    Haha actually I was being very naughty (also the reason he said he banned me lol) someone mistakes me for a man because of mo aimn and i merely said I did not have a banana and 2 grapefruit in my basket...I was asked for pictures as prove and I kind of posted a picture of what was called a khuntburger...which lead to my ban :(

    Shame on me


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 186 ✭✭KhuntChops


    o_O its thunder and lighting.... Hold me

    Yay, it's just happened here!!!!
    about 3 seconds delay so it was a near enough lightning discharge.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 186 ✭✭KhuntChops


    I hate that word..must you use it.. Discharge


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    I'm in a basement (atrium) can hear the thunder but obviously can't see the lightning. might leg it to eh canteen and have a look out

    Well without knowing if it was a strike or just inter/intra cloud it's the most appropriate word available.:cool:
    How about the word "moist"
    "wet"
    "used"

    With MIYP are you sure it's not safer to remain in the basement Wilburt? ;)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    haha, we had an awesome thunder/lightning/hail storm the other day. it was like nothing i've ever seen in ireland, absolutely unreal.

    naturally, it happened literally 20secs after i left the house for work... :rolleyes:

    twas hours before i could feel my fingers again :P

    Well all the lightning has discharged but it's still quite wet out
    and with the moist rain continuing to fall we'd better get used to it.:p

    'nuf of the pervy talk... take it to PM or whatevers you crazy kids do these days

    back on topic too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,057 ✭✭✭amazingemmet


    Feel free to pm me with any pervy talk thats going.

    Also I think my idea has been taken out of context, i meant that to post a reply in the thread you gotta have a pic too


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    If people aren't happy with the new tattoo thread speak up please. open to suggestions and can be easily changed around


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 186 ✭✭KhuntChops


    I think its just fine the way it is,if someone wants to comment on someones tatt they can easily leave a message on vistors page


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    so why bother come here to show it off then, if any comments have to be left in the visitor page? i enjoy reading comments about tattoos on the show you mine thread...

    emmet's idea of doing it like KYN is good... except are you supposed to come up with a picture every time you'd want to comment on a piece? only got so many mods, and do visit here daily...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 160 ✭✭KoRn101


    Well i think the poll has spoken.. so where is this picture thread??

    Most people only have one face yet still manage lots of posts on the kyn thread


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    but i cringe at the thought of making my piercings drunk and/or pulling different facial expressions :D
