There needs to be a picture thread

Some loose games

I ran out of film before I finished the loose games or got to the system boxes. Later I will post better pics of the loose games, some pics of boxed systems and some other interesting things.

Gmsnpr, your collection kicks ass, hope you didn't mind me editing the photo's into text links. It just makes things much easier for people who aren't forutnate enough to have broadband.propyro

As a dial-up connection user, I attempted to keep the photos small and low-res. It's a lot more impactful to see the grouped pictures rather than hotlinks, but you are probably more web-savvy than I am. In the future though, please extend me the courtesy of a private message before you edit one of my posts.

I think that what I've posted is all that I will be doing for now in this regard. Scanning my pictures again is not something I intend to do, since I'm a pretty inexperienced photographer, most of them are out of focus anyway. The pictures are certainly good enough for discussion and for people to follow suit, provided visitors to this thread are willing to go the extra mile and open them...

You have to understand, I've probably only taken 5-to-10 rolls worth of photos in my life and the last time was years ago. I've said it before, I'm just not a picture person. $ for the film, $ for 1-hr developing, an evening spent photographing, scanning, hosting and posting...a digital would make this sort of thing easier. Here's what I propose: I say that we (or me, whatever) start and sticky a dedicated picture thread much like the GGD forumite gaming setup picture thread. That way we can make it dedicated to pictures of collections that are resident in the posts, not hotlinks. We can post 56k warnings in the title of the thread, that way no one will be inadvertently lagged out of their minds. I like the idea of the "Room of Doom" thing on the CCU front page, but the format of the board is a little handier overall in that we can quote previous posts and do some editing. That way, much like ArchieGates has done in the General Games Discussion board, we can make a digest of the photos in the front pages of the thread and leave comments were they belong in the later pages. I think that the management of the picture thread should be left to one or a handful of CCU forumites, that way we don't have anarchy. We can establish standards for picture file sizes and for the number of pictures per user. I will do it unless there are objections or if someone else wants to. I think that if either Waflerevolution and Propyro want to, they would also be good choices. Do either of you want the job?

For now, if there are no other suggestions, I think that (per ArchieGates) a maximum of 600 X 800 pixels is a good benchmark. And let's go with our 3 best pics per poster for now. Maybe we can raise either the pixel count or the picture count later, but let's wait and see. Do we want to keep the subject matter as software and systems only? I would really prefer not to see everyone's collections of DVDs, VHS tapes, or coins for that matter in this particular thread and stay on target with game-related imagery, since this is GameSpot not CoinSpot. I am going to go and set up the stickied thread right now. For further picture submission, let's do it there.

in all fairness only some of my coin collection is showing...... but I can't trim those pics because I know less about cameras then you, I just know how to upload them
