# Don't be such a (smooth) bore!
Board is slow. I see no harm in the occasional RP. Especially if they're nice or been modified (like the ones below).

So there.

# I completely agree with you there
but the problem is that when a few people start doing it, more quickly tend to follow, because it's quick and easy and fun to do. Then the board tends to fill up with them all day, at least that's what happened before.
I'm not saying this will happen now, I'm just saying I think that's why people are sometimes less than welcoming when there are mutiple photo threads posted on /board

# ^this
It was quite fun and cool to see what other people were up to, but as Mofaha says, quickly got out of hand

I always threw mine into existing threads so no one's work got shunted off the board; and still do from time to time

# It's the dozen "Look it's a fucking TREE!/MOUNTAIN!/BUILDING!/DOG!" photos that get annoying.
There's a reason there's a "RPS is shit" warning before you post.

# Alright then

and I really used to like them. I should give it a go.

# Don't believe people who say it is hard.
Have a hot oven and preheat your fat. As long as your egg is reasonable beaten, you can't go wrong.

# Thanks, I'll try it.
I'm veggie so I need to come up with a decent alternative for the lard. I'm also a fussy fucker so it will have to be something other then hydrogenated fat.

Save me some, I'll be right over.

# It's an old photo
But I wish it wasn't. I could right go for a yorkshire pud/toad in the hole.

Also, I was skeptical about Nigellas pud with honey and yoghurt. Don't fear it, the pud is like a pancake. Good in both sweet and savoury forms

# food junkies'll go craaaaazy over that on flickr
it'll get awards & everything...no offence but it looks like a burnt clog to me:)

# It is my most popular photo on flickr.
I think it's going viral.

Whopping it on b3ta isn't going to hurt, and I'd like to be famous for something, even if it is just "that bloke that took that pudding photo".

Yorkshire pudding is probably the greatest food ever. The only contenders are roast chicken skin and pork scratchings. Skin is tasty.

# conservatives
also before posting it says "Real Photo Sunday is shit-give it up".....it's almost like a health warning that you risk abuse...yet still they post...face it-there are websites that love it-"stick to them" would seem the best advice...not go against the grain

# Quite
RPS was shite because loads of lurkers suddenly came out the wood work and flooded the place with photography as opposed to shopped pics as /board was intended for.

Plus most didn't have any grasp of optimisation

Ultimately, the bloke who runs this place doesn't like it. There are plenty of web sites you can display your photographic efforts, /board was never intended to be one of them.

Put them into an existing thread if you want to share :)

# ashally
If I was king of marketing, I'd stick it in as another tab, so there would be:
board/talk/links/photos/calendar/qotw/challenges/fun shit/faq

I don't visit talk, it scares me, but if RPS does not belong on /board, surely someone can find space?

# this seems the most logical conclusion
guess it's all got to depend on bandwidth & if there's any spare
(I helped save b3ta! Elvis impersonator, Sun 9 May 2010, 21:18, archived)
# There is nothing wrong with posting photos on board
provided they are cool/interesting/funny. The main trouble with real photo sunday was most of the photos were shite.

I can always look at flickr when I want to wade through pages and pages of shitty photos.
