As far as I can see, he hasn't done anything terribly wrong and aside from the act of begging for free toys being slightly annoying (which I have yet to see him do), its not against the law nor does it call for being rude to him in plain view of everyone else.

I do agree that Nekoman is doing a hell of a job and by no means am I saying he isn't, but everyone needs a vacation sooner or later, and I'm just offering to take WW for awhile to give Neko a break.

Black Knight,
I once actually stood up for Agent Diaper when Cory and Ian were calling him a thief and liar and all around charlatan. Then, he cheated me, lied about it and made himself a victim...all, while doing this, pitting members against each other. Do not defend that garbage, man. He's the devil...worse than Martha Stewart!

I am guilty of not participating
 
Nekoman can you explain to me what the guidelines are?
I'm just not clear how they work, Thank you :confused:

How's about a specific tag for photos/dios for each WW topic, something like the twitter hashtags, then that tag could simply be listed in the WW announcement post.

I'd also be keen to see some more publicity for each WW announcement, but perhaps simply a new sticky every week would do the job?

With that said, weekly is not something I could realistically do, far too much work on - I'd prefer a monthly topic, with perhaps weekly sub-topics, then people can focus on specific weekly shots or do a generic monthly one if they lack the time every week.

Just a few random ideas I thought I'd throw out to the wolves ;)

I feel it is necessary for me to chime in one this. I too have felt that there is a bit of a change in our community. tho I don't think its time to raise the flag yet.. but I have noticed a decrease in comments on pics. but I think it comes down to a few factors. a lot of us are getting older and have more responsibiltys be-it at home or work. and a lot of our older members have left too. but saying that it doesn't mean we cant grow again. now I have a few ideas that may or may not work but here me out.

I think we should start a tutorial thread in the forums or a how to section in the pic's for all those newcomers (heck even oldtimers like myself) on how to take edit or do set ups for pics. (this may have its own section already forgive me if it does) I know we've done behind the scenes pics before.

another Idea I think would be interesting is to have competitions were we take a panel of judges chosen from our members pool (not the same members all the time to give diversity) and as I suggested to Hammer that we have a place to send funds to keep the site running. how about we have a kitty for those who want to participate in the competition so that one either one of the Admins pick a prize with what has been collected for the winner/s a 1st 2nd and 3rd place prizes and possible spot prizes?

anyhu enough of my silliness . I want to say I will be onboard for WW as soon as the pic uploading is fixed. (I will always try and add my stuff accordingly even tho I forget to do so sometimes)

Thank you for that, however I think you're still missing my point... I'm not arguing if Agent has or has not screwed people over or anything else of that nature. I'm simply stating that I think some members here are being quite childish by calling names and pointing fingers on a thread that has NOTHING to do with that particular situation. This thread is about "Weekend Warriors", not "Has Agent Viper pissed in your Cheerios today?" If you all want to point fingers and call him a bunch of childish names, then by all means do so, just for the sake of myself and other members, start another thread for it.

That is what I'm arguing.

I didn't read your post and I didn't have a point. Congrats on graduating grade school thought! :rolleyes:

Isn't that a little hypocritical? You're saying not to openly bash Agent Diaper here and yet belittling the members who do so by calling them grade schoolers and the like. Aren't you essentially doing the same thing?

I'm not sure Prince had any or much intention of coming back here, so I think he was just getting that out while he was at it. Agent's post was really irritating and PA said it straight. I think a lot of us would start to trust or forgive Agent Viper if he had any intention of setting himself right, but he doesn't. He's still up to the same old antics at different places under different aliases.

A-neh-ways,

Interesting ideas, though I think from now on I'll just put up the topics way more in advance and if no one makes suggestions I like they'll just be whatever I decide. That way if you only want to do one out of every month you can come on and pick the one you want from each month and just do that one.

Also, don't worry about doing it weekly! No ones responsible for doing Weekend Warriors! I hope that's not what I've come off as saying, this is a fun weekly theme for everyone but no one has to do it. The only thing I think is that the members who make frequent postings need to make more comments and interact more with the community here, but a lot of them don't and I think that's part of what's wrong with Weekend Warriors.

NONE! :D You just post a pic if you want that loosely fits the theme for that week. It's that easy!

Cool, that sounds good. So someone else mentioned not easily being able to find the posts for any given WW, there was a suggestion that everyone post in the same thread (i.e. one for each WW) or the alternative is for everyone to tag their photos/dios for a given WW theme and for that tag/search link to be placed in the WW thread.

Whatever people decide, I think being able to look back through the past WW topics and easily find the photos/dios people have submitted is a very important thing for new posters to find inspiration and just generally see what other people have been up to.
