I was thinking about setting up a gallery of member pictures. Would anyone out there send their picture in for public display? You might find out that you walk past each other everyday, or perhaps the person you spend your days talking to is in fact your boss. It might be quite enlighting... but would anyone join in?

I have a pic of me on my under the 'eminem pics' link on my sig. granted it's 4 yrs old but that's on purpose.

I prolly wouldn't have a more up to date one on file.

Thats just me!

How do we submit the photos to you?

At the moment I'm just trying to establish if anyone would be interested.

Sheffield Live took a couple last night when some of us met up. He might volunteer them to be posted?

I wouldn't be ashamed of having my photo on the site... there's enough of me scattered all over t'Internet as it is, so a few more wouldn't hurt.

Take your pick: http://ruscoe.net/photos/

Happy to contribute (I don't suppose I can get away with sending one of Kate Moss can I?)

I'm going to send one of the most stunning bird I can find on the net - no not a naked one - and tell you all it's me !!!!

Count me in - I think it's a great idea.

I dont much fancy it really
not so much for me but for others - I am already known as having no shame
Two possible problems
1. People will start making assumptions about the way someone thinks, or the kind of person they are, not for what they say, but for how they look
2. Members will not always want to be forthright for fear of a smack in the mouth

- and more attractive members will have more responses than less attractive ones.....if you know what I mean.

And that will spoil what we have, perhaps

I dont know

Shut up Louise

I agree with Louise - being ugly you will all ignore me

I wouldn't ignore anyone based on how they look.:D

I do however have 3 peeps on my iggy list, and never having seen what they look like it just goes to prove what I said.

Someone has stolen a thread I was just replying to, how odd!

whats that db? :? :lol:

Louise: eh?

Erm... it was called Tonight's get together I think
DaB and Tina were talking about Zamo's photo
I started to reply and it said I didnt have permission
Then it just wasnt there any more

hmm, dunno, i'll have a looksee

edit: it was because there was too many threads i think

It was only about 8 threads long

posts I mean
what did you mean, that or something else?

thread contains posts

posts contain your words, this is a post, im posting on a thread

theres been loads of Threads about the meetup, so geoff moved one of the not so nessesary ones away

that'll have been another of mine - I got slapped by Geoff for posting twaddle !!

There is an air of mystery and mystique with this forum. Perhaps seeing photos and meeting in person will kill it off?

Those who dont want to meet can remian online only... and those that do want to meet, then its up to them!

Thats the way I see it!

Do you think the rest of the world is ready for this Geoff?

a gallery of the famour members who post a lot would be funny. could i send pics of my kitties AND kat? I feel my cats have also become part of the forum since they are used on the avatar. Im sure you all agree.

The pics can be viewed below:

Enjoy :D

A members photo gallery is a good idea if you ask me and i'd be up for sending a couple of pics in,though i'm not sure anyone would want to see them!!!!:lol:

I was speaking to SheffLive about this option on Thursday.

What does Geoff think to sending Sheffield Forum into a postnuke format??? There are member gallery options aswell as news features which could be quite nice for either local or global news.

For those who haven't a clue what post nuke is or what it can look like try these links

I'll do it no problem, just don't put it on www.hotornot.com. I couldn't take the lack of high votes :o :lol: :o :lol:

Hey, nobody told me I had to have mystery and mystique to join this forum! I'd better leave right now.

Oops. Forgot to post my actual reply.

I'm all for it, but the shock might be too great.

If anyone is going to make a photogallery, I highly recommend Web Album Generator - a free program which automatically builds a web page from the photos you specify. It creates the thumbnails and lets you resize the pictures and you can create a site in just moments.

was the pics i put up sufficient enough

I'd rather remain anonymous than have my picture spashed on the internet. I thought that was what an avatar was for to represent your personality and feelings? Maybe I'm wrong but that's also why you choose a sort of made up name too?
I visualize what people look like based on their user name and avatar, plus their postings. If I actually saw their real faces it may change the image and perception I have of them in my mind. I don't care what you think, but people do judge you based on what you look like: It's human nature.
I'm not sure if I want Sheffield to see my face either. Someone may recognise me!! :o
But you go ahead if you want. I won't look

The answer Geoff was YES!

I think the mods will say hot or not of whatever.. As no action was taken with this..

The answer Geoff was YES!
Hey...... I thought my pc had gone into a time warp. 3 years between your post and the last one on the subject. Frightened me to death it did ,wondering what I had "done now" as someone would have asked me when they came home from work.
Found it on another one as well. Poor fox, you must be really bored at work today.:hihi:

I also think it is a brilliant idea, I have just put google to good use, and apparently Coppermine has a vBulletin bridge, so, by the looks of it, you can make use of Coppermine, I have added a couple of links for you Geoff just in case you wanted to check it out.

I hope this helps.

Just for the record, here's me:

I was a right little goer in 1916.

Could this be a chance to e-flash everyone on the forum? :hihi:

Ooh, I like this idea. Here's me (http://www.linsdomain.com/gods&goddesses/pictures/Hecate.jpg). (Eye of newt and toe of frog not shown).

Me. Or is that 'minime'?? (http://www.library.yale.edu/cataloging/music/buddha.jpg) :hihi:

Here's me (http://www.gaywired.com/scene/images/317.jpg). (It was a warm day so I'm not wearing a cardigan).

My pic is already on my avatar :cool:

So has anyone actually posted a real pic yet? or is everyone still under the impression theyre important enough to warrant staying anonymous? :o

Woah this thread is old hehe.
