I tend to agree
the FAQ states that one should spend more than a couple of minutes on an image and then the mods start front paging toap.

The search function.
You can search your own posts by popularity, and by substituting anyone else's user number instead of "me" you can see what the most clicked posts are by any given b3ta poster.

it is?
which one? Ah pylons

Yep! I think I've whined about two compos now. Pylons and this. Pylons were better as it least it was a challenge of shoppery skills and hummums generation. This is a toapfest.
(k3b/-\b Peace man., Fri 30 May 2008, 2:31, archived)

Pylons.
Which was one that surprised me - my initial reaction was "Pylons? What the SHITTING FUCK?!?" but I thought there was a surprisingly high proportion of good entries.

Personal opinion, and all that.
( The Hedgehog From Hell, Fri 30 May 2008, 2:36, archived)

agreed actually
that post was the initial reaction one, it turned out a lot better than expected.
(k3b/-\b Peace man., Fri 30 May 2008, 2:40, archived)

I believe the challenge was suggested by a boarder this week.
Possibly a boarder who's seen the many successful versions of the challenge at places like SA.
And there's no reason a challenge entry can't conform to those rules.
And even if not- who cares, if it's funny? And some of them are. Which is the point.
( Kamikaze Stoat balanced for lean, Fri 30 May 2008, 2:28, archived)

Just as long as they don't start letting the day students pick the challenge.
We don't want those middle-class oiks thinking they have any influence.
( The Hedgehog From Hell, Fri 30 May 2008, 2:39, archived)

*stares*
Ed: actually I've got an idea: Let the Aussies pick the challenge!

You know, I think I would vote for this one.

The more I think about how much it would piss off the day shift, the more I like it.

( The Hedgehog From Hell, Fri 30 May 2008, 2:57, archived)

Problem is most of them don't
It's like a bandwagon. They're funny until people start posting stupid stuff and stuff that's bindun heaps before. Which is frustrating.
(k3b/-\b Peace man., Fri 30 May 2008, 2:39, archived)

This is very true.
Still, my approach is: if the challenge inspires you to make something funny, go for it. If not, go and do something else instead.

I got one image challenge suggestion (spoonerisms) picked, and there was plenty of support for it from a lot of people on /board. As soon as it was announced, lots of other people jumped out of the woodwork to complain about how shit a challenge it was. Everyone has different opinions, but one thing that annoys me about b3ta is how many people seem to come on here purely to complain.
( The Hedgehog From Hell, Fri 30 May 2008, 2:46, archived)

Hey, don't get me wrong.
There are plenty of crap entries, some of them mine. Same as every week. Even when it's a good suggestion that turns up a lot of quality ones, there are always people bitching about it.

My suggestion wasn't meant as a dig at SPN in particular, I just thought it would be interesting if "whine about the image challenge" was the image challenge. I think it could break some brains.
( The Hedgehog From Hell, Fri 30 May 2008, 2:23, archived)

maybe you should rephrase it to
'whine about the image challenge' image challenge

and then add in some
lololololrofl self-referential humours are teh funnny
for good measure :)
(quibble, Fri 30 May 2008, 2:28, archived)

I'd be up for the *whine about the challenge* challenge
I'm just ticked off that this one requires zero creativity for 90% of the entries.

You watch a movie. You recall it's plot. You clone out the title on the poster and then you add in a three line description of the plot. AND BAM and YOUR FRONT PAGED!!

Ah, but only if you're friends with the mods.

( Dr Scunner She’s a he, technically, but she’s scalding hot, Fri 30 May 2008, 2:27, archived)

the temporal lobe is what you are aiming for.
That will rid you of memories and all sorts.
( Dr Scunner She’s a he, technically, but she’s scalding hot, Fri 30 May 2008, 2:16, archived)

I suppose the occipital lobe would work just as well:)

( Sir Pigeon Nipples is wondering if he has soiled himself., Fri 30 May 2008, 2:23, archived)

the pre-frontal cortex won't do you any favours
/just finished revision
( Dr Scunner She’s a he, technically, but she’s scalding hot, Fri 30 May 2008, 2:26, archived)

But,
wouldn't damage to the frontal lobe impair mental flexibility and spontaneity?
/just finished reading articles on the web to confim what I thought I already knew;)
( Sir Pigeon Nipples is wondering if he has soiled himself., Fri 30 May 2008, 2:28, archived)

Temporal would deal with emotions and audiatory aspects of memory
among other things (which could be useful in dealing with this compo)

/finished reading the poster on my wall.

Mental flexibility, although controlled by the frontal lobe [a very large and general area] is more to do with connections between areas.
( Dr Scunner She’s a he, technically, but she’s scalding hot, Fri 30 May 2008, 2:46, archived)

Not even that will work
Totally removing your brain and replacing it
with 3lb of illicit substances might just take
the edge off the compo.
( Letum Spack Monkey, Fri 30 May 2008, 2:18, archived)

Aw
It wouldn't be so bad if people put more effort in and didn't keep doing the same ones.
Not that I can talk.
You can still get a couple of laughs out of it.
(Nifty, Fri 30 May 2008, 2:19, archived)

Much more trawling required
to find quality tho.
( Letum Spack Monkey, Fri 30 May 2008, 2:21, archived)

Slight hypocrasy has never been a boundary to posting on /board
A couple of laughs, yeah thats true but this is an excuse for a week long toap bandwagon.

Btw, haven't seen you before...shop kittens, etc. I liked your Mario money but click your L-plate for a surprise :P
(k3b/-\b Peace man., Fri 30 May 2008, 2:24, archived)

Cheers
And the FAQ, I know. I would have taken a week out and memorise it, but Christ it's long. I've been extensively told about the image size limit, anyway. I think I've got the gist.
I'd be happier if the L plate led to a pub though.
