# My point is:
You can slave for an hour or two on a great gag - and I dont just mean stuff by me. I've seen some stuff go by that should be FP'd instantly. I only ever see the same names on the FP and as much as I like their stuff, I'd like to see someone else get a chance.

Something else with no thought or talent involved will be lauded as the next messiah.

I'm just exercising my right to piss and moan, like everyone else.

# I think it's a
bit harsh to mention someone's name and say that sort of thing. I wouldn't like it if it was me, and i doubt if you'd particularly like it if it was you. I know that's probably not the point you were trying to make, and I'm not a fan of Paintmashing myself, but I don't really think that it needed to be said. That is all.

# well, actually you have no right to piss and moan.
i don't mean this in a rude way, but you have the right to piss off (not rude as in, i thought it was a clever play on your words. i don't actually want you to piss off). it's not as if you're going to change anyone's ways of modding by bitching about it - and the ethos of the b3ta collective has always been, as far as i can tell, "if you don't like it, go somewhere else".

i hardly ever look on the frontpage, to be honest, because most of the links and pictures there turn up on the board at some point.

# Seconded.
The fault is with the people that post on here who do think that getting on the frontpage is the beginning, middle, and end of the earth. Fair enough, I think that most of the people who do it a lot are excellent at what they do, but i think it on the basis of the quality of their pictures, rather than the number of times they've appeared on the frontpage. I have a vague memory of even having had a conversation with someone at the 2nd birthday bash at which they said something along the lines of "I must be better than (insert name) because I've had (x number) of front pages and they've only had (x number)". To be honest, I can't be doing with the competitiveness of it all.

While I'm about it, can I humbly request a blanket ban on people who edit their posts after they've been frontpaged to say "thank you"? I really hate that.

# It's often the stuff that only takes a few minutes work
which is funniest. Spending hours on something doesn't automatically mean other people will like it.

Having said that, I still can't understand how "Bumgay Dreams" didn't get its rightful place.

# tbh
I agree with you.

I can say say this without worrying that it will ruin my chances of judging the compo cos I will never be asked. It will not affect my chances of getting an FP cos hummus is low.

Sometimes I feel like I am the only one not sleeping with another member of the board.
