... aka another thread about pictures

How dissapointed would you be if the picture gallery was closed for ever?

[Sheila]

I wouldn't be ............. but Debs would just die

[Staci G]

HMMMMM well I'd be right there with Debs. I enjoy seeing almost as much as being seen.

[Deborah Jane]

I guess I would just have to post pics on another forum

[sherri52]

Then we'd have to link them to "flickr" or "webshots". I guess I better learn to link.

[Paula G]

Doesn't bother me. I rarely post pictures anyway.

[Kelly Greene]

I like seeing the pictures, they show me that it is possible to look pretty and I also get an idea of what kind of outfits look good.
if the pictures were to go away I would miss it a lot.

[suchacutie]

This forum is so multi-facetted that it really would make no difference if one or another part left. Posting pictures on the web is so easy to do in so many places that it just isn't an issue.

It wouldn't bother me an iota.

[StaceyJane]

I like the pictures. It gives us a way to show ourselves.
for those in the closet it's a great way to get some feedback.

[Engendered]

Where are all these topics leading?
I'm waiting for the big reveal at the end!

[Sherlyn]

My time on the forum would be a lot easier

[melissacd]

Not at all, it is about self discovery and not about seeing pictures of yourself. The pictures are helpful mostly to yourself in terms of helping you improve your look.

I do think i would more than just miss the pics.

I like being able to associate aface with the name...as i had mentioned to you.

i feel a bit closer to that person i am writing to if i can see them,,, or that side of them anyway. it is just my comfort thing

[Super Amanda]

Seriously? My, my we are fascinated with the pics now, aren't we?

It would not even matter in the least. You can post pics on almost any site these days, there would just be a bunch of links.

Is there something you're getting at with all of these threads? Kinda seems like they could all be merged together... (hint, hint,admins )

[Presh GG]

I know it would make the Mods lives/ jobs alot easier. If people would stick to the rules it would be unnecessary to close the picture threads. That is the point here, Right?

I for one like to scroll the photos. I love it when constructive criticism on make-up ect. is asked for and is taken to heart and the next pictures are 100% improved.

[Shelly67]

The same applies -
would you miss it ?

[Nicole Erin]

I don't think I would care.
I look at them time to time but it is not the first part I go to

[Lorileah]

I suppose life would go on. The pictures here are really part of who "we" are and often a history of who we have or will become.

This forum went on without polls. It has lessened the forum in my opinion. But it went on.

Without photos, it would be like the BBS's of the 80's. It would make the forum less fun and less attractive to new members in general.

[DawnRodgers]

I think that it would make this a much poorer site. In fact, I would likely give up coming here. I think that a pic of the writer of a reply makes it feel more personal and friendlier and, if an avatar is used, I am less likely to skip over the comment.

you mean a bit like all the "pantie, my wife does not approve, why do society hate us ?, I went out, etc threads " .. should they be lumped tog ?

I don't think Nigella is hinting at anything peeps, calm down

[Hermione Simpson]

Although I haven't posted photos in their regularly, when I have, I've liked reading what other members think of them, & to see if I should change anything, so I would miss that particular side, but has I could still put photos on my profile page here for people to see & also my facebook page, i would be able to manage, so i'm kind of 50/50

[Joanne f]

I almost put "it would not bother me" as i do not have much to brag about when it comes to photos of myself, but then i realised that for me to put any type of picture of myself on here was a very big step and i can imagine that it was the same for some others, but i have no problem with the ones who are more photogenic showing themselves off , it is a bit like a television you have the choice to look at it or not .

If you're talking about the The Video and Picture Gallery section...I wouldn't miss it at all. I go in there from time to time and check em out, but it certainly isn't the main reason I come here. As far as the galleries we're allowed to maintain on our profiles, that's a different story. I like those a lot and think that not having them would take a significant piece away from this site.

Photos and CDers go hand in hand imo, and the ability to share them with our little community here is something that I treasure very much. You're pretty much the only people I can show them to for goodness sakes. It makes my closet feel just a little bit more roomy and a little less lonely

To be sure, I don't envy the admins and moderators who have to approve and reject every one of those photos. But I do appreciate their hard work in keeping this site civilized.

Stay classy CD.com!

No need to worry. if anything, be glad to know, if you already don't,that anyone can just right click and save all your pics for you and even post them anywhere without your permission.
