Bring back the picture forum

[TheShinje]

Well, it's been a while since OB had a forum where members could post their pictures in a forum, and have a little discussion on them (even competitons, hehe)

I miss seeing members post their photo, It was fun to discover that the mental image you had of a certain member was totally wrong.

Even if it didn't warrant a forum, a sticky would be cool too. Jus a little thought.

Who else wants the picture forum back?

[color=#332E1D][font=franklin gothic medium]At the moment I really want people to use the picture feature in their profiles for this sort of thing. We had removed the picture forum because, although it was an easy way for people to show photos, it wasn't organized and led to a lot of spammy threads. It also led to people creating ten posts in a row just to upload a million files.

The key thing to remember is that OtakuBoards is about discussion first and foremost. File hosting and other capabilities are really designed to support that.

I think that if we do something with photos again, it won't be like a forum. A sticky thread is possible, but only if it can be administered well. At the moment I am trying to keep moderation going smoothly across the rest of the site itself, so it's unlikely that I'll be putting up something like that soon. However, if there is sufficient demand for it, I'll strongly consider doing something in this area - again, it probably won't have its own forum, but there are other possibilities.[/font][/color]

Yeah, I was thinking more along the lines of a sticky thread/sub-forum as I doubt myself tha there is enough interest to warrant it's own forum.

I like the "your picture" section of the profile, but no-one uses it anyway and there isn't an option to leave any sort of comments.

Well, I'll see how many people want it back (dang, wish I had polled this thread now), if I'm the only one who wants to see it return, well, it might not be worth the time. :p Thanks James.

I agree with evil Jedi, i miss having the picture forum right here in ob.

I think we should give it another shot.

If it doesn't work out then it doesn't work out. But until then i think it should be brought back ona trial basis. Nothing against Queen Asuka's site, its very nice and well kept.

I guess im just old school and like having it here in Ob.
