If anyone needs another subject for a case study, I can volunteer.

But they'll have to come get me.

lol
Not sure I can even be bothered volunteering...

Theres..
 

:o Oooh.. theres that illness again.. ;-<
Rich

I wouldn't say it's all that rare; I suffer from recurring bouts of that very same disease myself! ;) :D

Is there?
 

Ok, Is there a limit to posting one deluge of photos at once? :confused:
I just logged onto here and theres 25+ pictures all from one member (jaimanstone).

I aint complaining.. well I sort of am. It's just its really unfair on others to post 25 plus pictures all in a row like that..
I can appreciate from what I've seen there is lots of effort there.. and they are all different.. but isn't there a way to group them and post them as a dio? :confused:

What are everyone else's thoughts on deluge posting? :o
Rich

I've to agree with you Rich. Would be better if people could use the story behind and tie them up in a dio.

'Addendum'
 

OK, here's an 'addendum' to the lead post of this thread..............



The 'excessive' posting of a series of pictures by one member at one time is also a reason for the admin to DELETE random images of the set!


I love the time and talent that goes into taking, editing and posting pics here, HOWEVER, to 'blow the front page' with more than 8 pictures at one time, THAT'S JUST IN REALLY BAD TASTE!!


If anyone has taken that many pictures to relay a story, then break it up into sections and post only a few at a time. Rest assured that all the regulars will follow along.

If someone wants to view all of a member's pictures throughout their 'series', all they have to do is click on the 'view all of ______ pictures'. Or, as has been stated, find a site to host your vast library of pics and make a dio story out of it!!

Also, while I appreciate that we are a small group here on JoeDios, seeing members interact more with the other members of the site would seem to be much better manners......what I'm trying to say to all those who only post pics and then 'disappear' is, why don't you interact a bit more with the rest of the gang?? You might be surprised at the camraderie that you find!!!

Gs Thanks For Telling It Like It Is Ive Made A Friend Id Say On This Site And Though Imay Not Be The Most Articulate. Typer I Hope When Ipost A Comment It Comes Through In The Manner I Inted To As Far As Posting Many Of The Same Photos Or Clogging Up The Front Page With A Bunch Of My Shots I Hope I Havent Broken That Rule I Think Ive Done A Lot Netter With My Angles Mainly Due To All The Comments Ive Read From Vets Like You Again Thanks And If You Gotta Lay The Smack Down On Me If Need Be Dont Hold Back. ;)

Your fine Flatline.......it's members like you who make it all worthwhile for me to do this............ ;) :D :cool: Keep up the AWESOME work!!!! :)

Rules read and understood. Gee, isn't amazing how good rules make sense.

ok I got a question..I joined a little while back..tryin to be more active, but with no digital camera right now, can't post pics..is it ok for me to be here??? I was just wondering seems like a really cool site I've seen mis Scarlett from Hisstank..and she seems real nice..as some of the other posters here...just wondered..didn't want it to be an issue either way..thanks no matter what!!!!!

Are you kidding me??!??!? OF COURSE you can stay!!!!! Just because the site is called 'JoeDios', it doesn't mean that you MUST post pics!!! We want any and all fans of G.I. Joe to hang out and have fun!!!!!!


And if you are actively looking into purchasing a camera, there are threads that talk about brands and all kinds of stuff!!!! Some might be buried, but they are here......just do a search or even better, ask!!!!


Glad to see you over here! Can't wait to hear what you've got to say!!!! YO JOE!!! :cool: :D

And when the 'vets' don't post for a bit, (like me), no one seems to notice.......or maybe it's just that they don't give a whip what I do?!?!?!? :p

That's cool thanks gang..as I said will try hard to be more active..

I accept!
 

Acepto las reglas! Rules are fair and the people on this site have been very nice with me and with everybody. Let's keep this place healthy.

ok all clear sir...

I agree w/ you here GS I have tried my best to folllow the rules sometimes I'll even wait for others to post some pics so I don't post more than 4-5 pics at once. I also have learned a lot from people on here and have found 2-3 different angles of a single shot is usually the most I take.

I agree with everything. I bet you can imagine how many pics of my Rambo custom I have stored in my computer and there will remain.

I am not so good yet with the photoshop, posing and scening. But I will.

Thanks for the patience and the friendship.

Thanks for taking care of this issue, GS. What I find frustrating is posting a shot and watching it get bumped because someone posts THEIR 8 images. Or 14 Images. I don't remember what I'm set at. But yeah, you get the idea.


And Rambo, your problem isn't necessarily posing, it's your picturetaking abilities. You learn to focus or use MACRO better, that'll be an incredible increase in terms of quality.

MACRO... oh hell yeah! it's the flower icon on the camera...

Thank you Sonneilon. I will re-take some pics :)

Nice clean guidelines that are easy to understand.
I was curious about the swearing part as I did see a few pictures with a few words in them here and there, now its all cleared up for me so thanks.

On a slightly different note, but still a valid note on this post. Asking a question is usually a good way to get a great answer here. I'm sure there are some questions that gets asked a million times, but it seems that to some of us 'noobs' you don't really mind and tell us anyway (many forums start screaming "USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION" almost like a knee reflex), so that is appreciated and a welcome change from other forums.

Thanks for making a great place and re-igniting my interest for G.I.Joe!

*BUMP*

I'm gonna do some housecleaning. Don't take offense if stuff gets deleted.

Discussion of religion and politics...
 

...is dangerous to your friendships, and I really don't want either to be subjects of discussion on JoeDios.

I have a really good friend at work named Eric. I have caught on from a comment here or there that his political views are pretty much opposite of mine, so we never talk about it. We avoid the topic because all it can do is hurt the good friendship we have going. So, we talk about the things we both enjoy, video games, beer and women. :)

Take that lesson and apply it here. Avoid the explosive, divisive topics, especially religion and politics, and talk about your common ground, GI Joe and related stuff. It's the healthiest thing for the community.

Well said.

Can Raven get his posting privileges back? :D


-Heir to the Ender3digit throne.

I find this quite amusing. It's pretty sad, but amusing. Religion talk will do it to ya 10 times out of 10.

Let's just call it a truce and give LordRaven back his access.

Depending on where this issue goes in the next 12 hours will dictate my continued participation at this site.

Paul.

I will find it easy to follow these rules. Finding a place to talk about shared interests with like-minded individuals is always a true treasure!!!
:)

I don't feel the need to apologize to anyone, but I am sorry for walking by an explosive thread and adding 2 cents of air that could have contributed to "touchiness." Normally I dodge threads like that, but sometimes I type before thinking of my audience. I think many of us do from time to time.

And haradrel is very wise when he said it is nearly impossible to convey tone and mood in typed words. It really is.

Like Hammerfel, I don't discuss politics with anyone at my work, but focus on common ground. Like work. My mortgage kinda depends on that! And talking about political views doesn't ever change anyone's mind. And if it does, well, that's kinda sad. ;)

So let me encourage everyone to exhale and post some pics! Please, for the love of those little joes! We all love Joes! :D

We had some great Whacky Wednesday pics, and the How-to sections have truly been helpful to me as of late. I appreciate all the time members are taking in showing the "magician's tricks." I have been blessed by many who have shared lighting suggestions with me, but now all the dio how-to's have got my creativity flowing.

hey! me and hammerfel is just alike lol i like women and beer to! but well said HF don't know whats been going on around here but well said :cool:

Touchy Stuff
 

Yes, for the record, I CLOSED the thread because I didn't want thing to get MORE out of hand. When I asked that things get back ON TOPIC, I meant that it needed to get back to Frank's post. He was asking for an opinion of whether to allow his kid to go a demonstration.

I firmly believe that a discussion about religion could work. We could discuss our beliefs, the religion's morals and ethics as well as our own.

In terms of the ORIGINAL POST, the blame goes ALL AROUND. This was not supposed to be a discussion about our views on religion, god, Jesus, Buddha, whoever and whatever you associate yourself with. But that's what it became and one can NOT blame Shane for feeling uncomfortable over this whole thing. I know I didn't but I left it open.

IF Shane and Rich are to get banned, then Haradrel, YorkTownJoe, MYSELF AND GeneralScarlet should too because it went off topic and I asked for it to get back on track!

Now, when Shane originally came to me, I supported him posting his 1st post. By his last post, he lured her into a trap and if any of you read close enough, he caught her. Shane doesn't incite this type of stuff and therefore I am reinstating both Rich and Shane.

if anyone don't mind me asking i was gone for around a day and a half what happend around here i came back and seen that lordraven had got banned and somthing about religion...i totally in the dark here

Gung Ho, we're gonna let this lie quiet. Just a lot of weird crap went on.

ok thats fine i'll stay in the dark lol :D

You are wise beyond your years, however old you might be. :)

This addition to the rules & regs is a good thing. I avoided the other thead like the plague. I thought, when I first saw it, it could only end badly

gotta agree with both lehsreh and sithviper, the moment the thread started leaning towards religion i opted to stay out, no matter what i believe in that's a hot topic that always causes friction with people and i like to remain as frictionless as possible :D

Uh-oh! I didn't mean it, I promise! I... I... I...



*phew*

I'll just throw in my 2 cheap cents here. I have been to many boards/forums etc over the years - and if this is "out of hand", then I am even more in love with this place then before.
The moderators here really do an awesome job! Kicking donkey and taking names :D (I really do mean that guys, its really nice to come to a online community who gives a rats-behind)

On a different note and slightly on topic.
I really don't mind the "big" issues being debated in a forum - he clearly labeled it as off topic - and to those who doesn't want to read about it, well they could have stopped right there. I also feel it gives more depth to a online community to sometimes air stuff like that - even if it is a heated debate - but as I said earlier - it would be pointless to debate religion, even though I found it interesting.

So I actually disagree with the Sonneilon for locking the thread, but of course I will follow his rulings and respect that.

On a totally different note: I finally got my WAVE 1-2-3-4-5 25th Guys!!!!!! (Yes that was totally off topic, but I always like to end a post with something positive ;) - Expect lots of shots in the coming days!!!!
