If I may pose a suggestion: posters should include up to 3 pictures per post from now on. This will hopefully alleviate slow loading. Also, I think this is where "less is more". Post 3 pictures today, save your other pictures for later on in the week. Keep this lovely thread alive and prosperous.

On that note, I hope to contribute my own pictures soon. But thanks to all who have submitted pictures previously.

My cell phone loaded all the pics in about 5-8 seconds. Metro PCS offers unlimited 4G coverage to virtually all of the continental US. 50 bucks a month no contract or plan required.

So nice that you are starting to think of others, X. [/sarcasm, in case it wasn't clear]

I got pics of PX Summanus? (Snarl) that I hope to upload when I get home from work.

Nothing beats answering one sarcastic comment with another one lol. But on a serious note, I dont see how loading up 10 pics on this thread is any different from loading up 10 news related pics on another thread. If we start making special rules just for one thread, it seems like its defeating the true purpose of the rule. I rock my cellphones till their last breath, but I acknowledge if I refuse to upgrade, any technical disadvantages I encounter are my own and should not be blamed on others actions.

Because this is a thread for pictures. A news thread with one post full of 10 pictures is followed by quite a few posts of commentary. If we have 25 posts per page, each with 10 pictures, that's 250 pictures in one page. That's really a lot.

Besides, isn't it fun to keep this going with some pics here and there, spreading them out over some time rather than blitzing them all at once?

On to more pictures!

You have a valid point. Just keep in mind taking the pics, transferring them to computer, rotating them, uploading them to photobucket, and getting HTML codes to post is very time consuming. Something you want to do in one shot, not every day after work. If 20 people were complaining about loading time, then its a website issue. If one person is having issues, its time for an upgrade. Just my opinion. Im not trying to beat up that person too hard. I dont even remember who it was. I think it was somebody I am cool with in general. Let that be known.

Several of us have made the request, X. Why does it have to be all about what is convenient for you? o_O

Getting the thread back on track, here's an old one from me, but one that was fun.

Thanks, that was the essence of my request and I just didn't elaborate.

If anyone wants to just post their collection, they can always start their own thread. If they want to continue posting several pictures per post in THIS thread, well I can't stop them. It just seems like the experience would be better for most users with less (per page).

Anyways...

No probs, necr0. I think several of us had the same thought.

Hey, AG, did you edit your one post with this one after first posting it? I didn't remember seeing it. Wonderful end to that series of pics with the penguin lunch. Maybe I just missed it loading the first time.

What I find frustrating is the inconsistency of technology awareness from thread to thread…

On one thread I’m being criticized for not knowing how much solar power technology has progressed in the last 20 years with small electronics.

Then on another thread, the same crowd is criticizing me for not being sympathetic towards people who choose to use old slow loading obsolete cellphones.

Just saying… :BANG_HEAD:

And all that happened was someone asked, nicely I might add, if we could bring down the number of pics per post, and others echoed this request. No one was mean about it as far as I know. Can we get back to some cool, weird pics now? I personally like to see what weird/funny poses we can get.

Okay, so I was thinking about this tonight. I thought a lot about this, and I do have a couple of ideas, but didn't just want to have monster or animal based bots ripping apart AB. So how about this one...

Part of my original request was because I was sympathetic to those who may be viewing this on mobile devices or even other slow-loading, internet capable devices.

Personally, I'm viewing this forum on my personal computer that is far from obsolete. However, even IF the page loads up fast I still don't want to keep going back to the same page and pass up this wall of numerous previously posted pictures just to see a new post that now has more pictures. Let's say for me "numerous" means over 15. The number is arbitrary. The sentiment is of convenience and ease of viewing. BTW, the number of pictures on the first page of this thread is 88, not including signature pics.

If you don't agree with me, that's fine. I don't want to impose on your freedom (or anyone else's) to post as many pictures as you like. And my suggestion doesn't do that. It simply asks that we moderate what is posted each time.

Okay, I've said enough. Hopefully next time I post in here it will be with my own pictures.

No, not just saying.

Some of us don't choose to use slow/old tech. Some of us don't have the money to upgrade, or the tech available in our countries, or a fast/cheap internet connection for our cellphones. Seriously, man, can't you really be just a little bit more understanding here (or sympathetic, as you said yourself) even after reading several people's comments sharing the same concern?

Sorry for my english, btw. I may be from one of those countries.

Kits...

Generations Kup + new head and guns by iGear:

Generations Perceptor + sniper rifle, from the same kit:

Foc Grimlock + Zenith Forge upgrade kit consisting of new head + sword + shield + back armor piece:

Absolutely love this one. While my Takara Wreck-Gar reigns supreme, I turned the Hasbro release into a Junkion medic/mechanic with the Lucky Rogers kit (Generations Junkheap is intact).
