I agree
That face pic thread was awesome!
Did I miss the part where one person was appointed forum police?

Well, I *am* in fact the other moderator of a recently-established vacuum site, but not here. I was half-joking...sorry if it came across as snippy.

I am proud to say.....
I am the creator of that face pic thread...the longest living thread yet in AW.Org history! Robert deleted that thread, as well as other non related threads for a reason. Lets all respect Robert and his wishes by sticking with Appliance/Detergent related topics.

Actually my understanding was that that system erred and deleted that stuff on its own.
If there are any bandwidth concerns, they need not be taken to the degree that they were during the last witch-hunt.
Perhaps it can also be said- if we keep doing divisive posts (such as religious and politcal stuff) or tearing public figures to shreds- that the universe don't like ugly and nasty and that more threads may disappear. Negativity begets negativity.

I enjoyed the pic thread BUT...
I'm still a antique and we are still on dial up. After so many posts I couldn't get the pics to download so I just stopped looking :-(
Perhaps starting continuation thread after so many posts??? I can't be the only one with dial up.

There's an easy work around for dealing with picture-heavy threads on dial-up. Set your browser to NOT load pictures. The thread will load much faster. Then right-click on the place-holders for individual pictures, new material since the last viewing, etc., and select "view image" or whatever is the appropriate context-menu choice.

Rich you make a good point too..
even with broadband it was taking a while for the old thread to load...
"Well, I *am* in fact the other moderator of a recently-established vacuum site"
I am SO not worthy!!!

Pic Size . . .
The old face pic thread was a lot of fun but pics don't have to be full screen size to be enjoyable. Some other sites restrict the size of any pics . . . I don't know how much this helps conserve bandwidth, but perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me can comment on that.

I agree with quite a few of you; Shane, Toggle, Scott55405, Rich...we need to respect Robert's wishes. It is not easy being a webmaster. While we sit and post, they have to be concerned with content, "hiccups", bandwidth, etc. When there is the need to sound the alarm, I'm sure Robert will do so. If we are to enjoy this site, then it is up to us to work as a team to ensure that we help things run smoothly. In a sense, Jeff, we are all "forum police". I don't think anyone should be chastised for their concern.
For those that want to propagate divisiveness by posting controversial and/or emotional topics, holding grudges, or fanning the flames of drama; maybe there is another site to "hang over" that is better suited to those interests.
Face pic threads are fun. but they don't have to be posted all of the time. Maybe we can try a summer and winter face pic thread. Twice a year shouldn't strap us too much.

I could not agree with you more Venus! Let me further say that I love this place, and have made many wonderful friends here. I think its wonderful such a diverse group can gather here and share our common interests. Thats the way it should be!
"I don't think anyone should be chastised for their concern."
Again, we are in agreement

I did not delete that thread, it was a system error. The picture threads were kind of fun actually.
