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.


I really like that idea, the concept of being able for myself or anyone else to go back and easily find WW's of the past for inspiration sounds really good, but might be difficult to pull off.

Neko, you are right and thats was condescending of me and I apologize to those I was referring to.

I'm totally trying to upload a pic for last weeks WW but it's not letting me upload.. grr.

It keeps giving me this error message:"An error occurred while attempting to create a folder for your files. If the problem persists, please notify the webmaster"

I used to at least try to participate - the thing is with joedios being down most of the time for me (over a month) it's been hard to get anything online.

I'll have a go at this weekend and see if we can't pick weekend warriors back up again - as this was something I really enjoyed

First, I am guilty. I have yet to participate in WW. I can say that I have followed it, viewed many of the pics submitted, even picked a few favs. As for posting, as you can see from my pics, my camera is not the greatest, my surroundings leave everything out of scale, and, until this past week, my props were near nothing.
I would like to see WW continue, and I will definitely be posting some pics for the cause. I think it is a great endeavor to keep people contributing, especially when the topic is something one can get excited about. Looking over Mays themes, I have already started planning some photos for the WW.
If you are dropping it, maybe you can hand the reins to someone else to keep it going here.

Mine went through without a hitch , you might have to resize your picture - I made one about the size of what it is posted as.

I hope my picture is up to your quality standards then.

That is basically what I've done, I make all my stuff is 800 x 600 pixels. I haven't really had to much of a problem.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I don't get mad if someone posts a bad shot. I just hate it when people waltz on and post a picture and disappear without caring about what everyone else does, know what I mean? It's like some people (really, regardless of the quality), want to show off but don't really care about anything else regarding the site. I could name names but I don't want to because that would be overly confrontational.

Also, your pic was great and met my standard despite that I don't have one. Thanks for caring.

Alright that made it a bit clearer.

I understand the frustration myself, as I had a minor blurb on hisstank when joedios was down. One thing you have to realize is that not everybody can post in the forum, on pictures and whatnot else - some have lives that only give them some time to post pictures or do stuff on the page. I mostly try to post pictures and once in a while reply on comments on them - rarely do I go into the forum, but it happens. Some are limited with the time they have and choose just a small bit - and some aren't hobby photographers with excellent equipment, some are young and so on - I think it's important that we focus on the joys of sharing a hobby instead of getting sucked into "Quality" or the motives behind why people do what they do. Let them contribute what they can even if it is "bad" work. Usually I can find something good even in crappy I-Phone pictures (poses or ideas) or worse.


Anyways, you should let the torch pass to someone else if you feel frustrated with weekend warriors, it's too good a concept to let it die. I'm sure there are people out there willing to try and keep up with it (myself included as long as I can log into joedios lol).

Again I do understand the frustration though, been there done that myself

I don't have a problem with people posting bad shots. Not all of my own are good either! But when I can I try to tell folks what I think might be wrong with their photos or if there's nothing wrong what I like about the photo. That's the kind of interaction that makes sharing fun. I know some people don't have time for any number of reasons and can't help not commenting, but I'm not talking about those folks. Never been bothered by them. What gets me is people who post stuff day after day and still never comment, if you look around you'll see what I'm talking about.

As for passing on Weekend Warriors, if ever I'm away or quit coming here anyone's free to pick it back up. With that said I'm a man of my word and may not leave or quit WW, as there has been a lot of participation this week (which is cool guys!). The event itself is easy to organize too.
