I look at it like this......I'd like to see 100 different posts with photos posted, but if there is also 3-4 replies to each and every photo asking questions about the photo, saying cool pic, saying you're the winner, etc., then the thread turns into 300 posts and only a 1/4 of the thread contains pics.
I guess I just figure that the forum consists of 100,000+ threads, can't a handful be just pics for people to enjoy rather than wadding through chit chat? I don't know. That was just my thought.
If people want to post those same photos and talk about them, they're more than welcome to start another thread. Hell, you guys could start another thread about any pic in there and give someone the "atta boy" or whatever. It doesn't have to be in the contest thread itself.
Anyway, I like those little photo contest threads to be all photos, but I guess it don't matter all that much. My opinion is often based on what I believe the majority of viewers of these forums like to see. My opinion of what the majority likes to see is based on 13 years of doing it. ????
