# And If the board only allowed good stuff
then new people would never post and learn/improve
and B3ta would stagnate
I wellcome new talent

# I completely agree
my point is that the image challenge encourages a much larger percentage of '20 second mspaint' type efforts - and depsite constant moans and suggestions from other members about the shitness of it all - no one seems to pay a blind bit of notice, and continually posts the same shit over and over.

# Does it not blow over after a couple of days?

# unfortuantely not.
Another suggestion - have the image challenge starting mondays and ending wednesdays, so at least we have a a few days where the board isn't full of identikit crap.

# It's a thought.
But a shorter amount of time in which to create the entries would just make people think they have to rush shit out, wouldn't it?

Mind you, people think that already, so it won't be much of a difference ._.

# Announce the subject of the challenge on say Monday
but prevent any entries until say Wednesday

# We wouldn't have to wait for it to blow over if the challenge didn't exist :P

# Good point
I don't know if it seriously bothers many people though - or just a vocal minority. Hmmm... maybe I should do another survey...


And thanks Mugatu for starting an interesting discussion. :)

# To be honest I'm not all that bothered.
I do get a bit annoyed with streams of shit posts - but b3tans make it better by replying to the shit posts with funny posts. FAIL pics, funny comments or just plain reposts can make a useless thread worthwile.

Although I sometimes think it'll be funnier if shit posts didn't get any replies or attention at all. Just sunk to the bottom of the board, completely disregarded :D
