# Ok, but enough about your posts

In all seriousness, such a result can be applied to almost every challenge, yours for example will be a 3000 pictures of the same robot fighting the same dinosaur. See.
What the image challenge needs is a massive disclaimer telling people they don't have to enter if they can't think of anything actually worth doing

# Seriously?
When did we do this before?

Last week's challenge was last week's most popular suggestion, so yep, the suggestion board is taken into account. It might not be a majority choice but it was the most popular minority choice (if that makes sense), by some distance.

I'm getting really fed up of how seriously some folks are taking it.

I think it's an interesting challenge, for what it's worth, but even that isn't really important. The key point is, I'm sure it'll provide a few, uh, 'lolz'. And that's what b3ta's for, innit?
