Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[Spinney]

I am with @djb1971. I liked the waffle and stupid conversation here it was something I enjoyed as well as trying to take some decent entries from time to time. Two threads will lead to confusion amongst most I would think. Here is what I have been driven to.... View attachment 101693

You're complaining because you've found an excuse to drink and eat pies??

If you grumpy old gits chaps get your way, and waste all of SatNav's time in separating them, are you also going to throw your toys out of the pram be a little miffed if we have the separate thread ONLY for the challenge setter to give the next challenge and the due date? It can of course be posting in the waffle thread as well.

I like to chat, and to enter, but finding out what the current competition is just takes too much wading through pages of stuff.

In that case if you're foolish enough to win you'll just have to accept wading through to find the entries.

my last judging effort was 100 pages of utter waffle.

If I can cope with it, others can, especially people who only pop on here every 6 months

why has it been split?
The people who were chattering were the ones posting photos. If people want a photo thread, go and start one.

I'm sticking to posting on here, so there!

I can't keep up nor be arsed to look at 2 threads

Same here. To have to go from one to the other and try and pull quotes over is crazy and I'm not going there. Far too much of a faff, and rather unecessary in mho.

Yebbut … I find it somewhat frustrating to come to the thread, expecting to see photies and instead find up to 4 pages of waffle/ chit-chat without any reference to the current competition**.

I think the waffle/chit-chat is highly entertaining (and have even been known to add a comment or two ), so I am fully in favour of having the 2 threads … and there is no need to Sticky them, as there is so much interest and posting that they will always be at or near the top of the New Posts list.

As long as people actually post a pic or two … which is about where I started.


**this could be one reason why I have not entered more competitions …

there shouldve been a poll or a choice from everyone, not a decision by a few.

 

[Spinney]

@potsy and I seem to be the only ones posting photos

I think you should all learn from our example

Hang on... I'm sure I've got a photo of my foot somewhere...





Or maybe a heron...



Yup - here you go:

I agree with you @djb1971 and as we are two of the last winners and having won it a few times the honour of wading through the waffle to find the odd gem was part of the challenge. This was the first thread I ever really got involved in and I am still here after a year.

I enjoyed wading through looking for my winner when I was judging too. It's part of it.

SatNav did say it was for a trial period - it can be put back if folks really don't like it.

I can see why some don't like it but rather than destroy our little world, why not start their own little haven?

Maybe we should carry on the competition in here and let someone else do a 'proper photo' competition on the other thread.

As the current judge I suggested at 8am that maybe of the plan was to split at the end of this competition next week. But then we had @User14044 start a thread for a joke and it all went haywire. Anyway I am off to sit in the bath and practice my pie eating skills.

 

[Spinney]

It wasn't intended to, I'm sure. And it has become a smaller little world because it's difficult for some to cut though the (entertaining) waffle - it was just an attempt to try to have both the photos and the waffle...

Don't drop it. That would be an moment.
