# I bet DPRK hope the image challenge is them...
...will save them a fortune on crap badly shopped propaganda.

# On that subject,

# I dunno, maybe it would be nice if the board just went with whatever the mood was and sometimes the images would be collected as a showcase
rather than trying to force a joke that never really comes off.

# I think this is a reasonably well-aired debate.
When the board's on a roll it's fab (perfectly illustrated by the Osborne spate from yesterday), but it's nice to have something out there that's a bit of a trigger for those moments when hummus is at a low ebb and it's just nice to lose yourself in a little project for a short while.

# i like hummus
With pita bread, it's a nice healthy snack.

# I guess my issue is that by making it an arbitrary weekly thing
sometimes when there are just a few people mucking around something glorious can happen and as long as everyone is welcoming then we have good b3ta times and then the challenge comes up and it gets swamped in album covers or movie posters and none of the people that participate wind up sticking around.

I mean if they're going to stick around it's more because of funtimes and friendly people rather than a specific image challenge

# Whatever you do, someone will complain loudly and at length that b3ta is ruined. And usually give you a bullet point explanation as to exactly why and when the rot set in. With graphs too if you're really unlucky.
Not every challenge takes over the board, but I know what you mean, some days the speed of posts makes conversation impossible.

Basically what I'm saying is we need more divisive politicians dying.

# The band letters challenge really came out of left field.
Haven't seen the board move that fast in a very long time.

# Insta bans

*doesn't really say, but they are a bit shit tbh when there's trillions of images on the internets to play with
also b3ta clique \o/s

# Amen.
Also I like the word "funtimes".

# i quite enjoy the challenges tbh....its great when you're all... :O "why didnt i think of that!" when a chop/gif comes out of nowhere.
it is far more engaging having to really think about a subject out of your usual 'chop comfort zone'... imo. i think there has been a decent mix of compos so far this year, some quite open stuff like the sheep/panda and the more wordy pun-type ones.

# That's not a bad idea,
But I do like challenges. It's nice to see what other people come up with when given the same subject.

# Everything got a bit nasty and I may have been caught up in that
but I can honestly say that a lot of fun b3ta people stopped visiting /board because of the ongoing shitty challenges and yes freebase too I guess I have to shoulder some of that responsibility.

# Any image challenge is only as good as the interpretation that's given it.
Some really dreadful-sounding ideas have spawned some fantastic work, and yes there are some where loads of entries crop up, but I don't think that's in and of itself a bad thing. Some image challenges give noobies a bit more confidence in posting, which can only be to the good IMHO.

# freebase used to piss me right off
but then for some reason i started shopping him and now i find it pretty funny.
i wonder if it's the fact that he causes so many polarised reactions that makes it?
