December Photo Contest DISCUSSION

[alessia55]

All discussion of photos and chit-chat about the December photo contest should go here :)

The photo contest theme for December is "Tails"

[lady_bug87]

There I added my first ever contribution, Mostly because I already had the photo lol

[Aaron_S]

Shouldn't we be starting January's photo contest? We'll be putting up "december's" at the start of Jan.

Or how about you shorten the deadline to like 14 days. Dec 17th. I personally think the submissions should be in by the first of the month.

[KORBIN5895]

I will be submitting a picture of Leah's tail.

[MoreliAddict]

[Jendee]

boo I missed it lol

[Aaron_S]

Shouldn't the voting be done by now? I know it's bothersome for some but it's the 3rd of Jan. When will we be into Jan's contest? In February? Can I be now the one to run these?

[SnakeyJay]

Haha it is running a little late, but then so does almost everything over Christmas time and new year.

[alessia55]

I'll be shortening the submission to 2 weeks this month. Voting is open until 10 or 11pm tonight (it has a timer), then the winner will choose the next theme.

[Jendee]

can people donate animals to the contests

[alessia55]

can people donate animals to the contests
What do you mean?

[Jendee]

like the winner gets whatever is donated to the contest

[alessia55]

like the winner gets whatever is donated to the contest
Sometime we have prizes (like a digital thermometer), but I don't think we'll find someone to donate an animal every time. Also, you take the chances that the winner will take care of the animal or resell it. You never know. Not worth it for the animal's sake IMO.

You can donate that sonoran het leopard female.

Good discussion is what should bring people to the forum, not the chance of winning a free animal...

[Jendee]

ok never mind thought it would be fun.. temperture gauges it is lol

[SpOoKy]

For the sake of an argument, let's just say I won and I will take one of you babies Jendee ;)

[lady_bug87]

Lately, I'm not finding much of that either....

And I personally wouldn't be opposed to someone solely dedicated to these contests...

[Gungirl]

I think we should have a poll about the prize donation.

Not just 1 persons opinion calling the shots.

[SpOoKy]

Poll Poll Poll Poll!!! lol

[lady_bug87]

No no do what we do now just have a person dedicated solely to making sure it runs on time

[Jendee]

all thought all forum mods worked together on these...

[Jendee]

I wouldn't mind donating every spring but i'm not real consistent here...for a yearly deal

[alessia55]

Not calling any shots here... Just having a discussion about it. ;)

[infernalis]

The whole idea is a nightmare waiting to happen.

So who picks up the shipping bills?

Health issues, blaming mite infestations on "prize" animals???

Too many variables for me to feel comfortable attaching the forum's name to it.

[infernalis]

No no do what we do now just have a person dedicated solely to making sure it runs on time

Alessia is a lot better at keeping a schedule than I am.. So I let her handle the contest.

I will be late for my own funeral....

[KORBIN5895]

If there was some real depth of knowledge we would have discussions that drew people. As it is now the forum is more known for catering to noobs and pretty shallow knowledge.

We school primary through PHD here. (really true if you think about it. We have folks with their first snake all the way up to PHD biologists as members)

You are a senior, stop picking on the first graders. ;)

Be a teacher's aide and not a lunch line bully.

[GarterPython]

I say have a prize but no prize animal evaluate then you don't have to worry about all the variables of having a live animal as a prize.

I was pretty ignorant when I joined a year ago Wayne. ought I knew stuff but I did not know a quarter of what I thought I did. I learned most of what I know here and then I expanded on it in my chosen species by hands on experience and finding people who were solid and knowledgeable.

Anyone here can do the same they just have to want to learn. Things are quite different now then they were a year ago.

Also my last comment wasn't meant to be negative. It just seems most of the threads revolve around non feeders, bad shed/ why are my snakes eyes blue and mites.

every time you post something like this my first thought is to always reply with

"yes daddy"

[Gungirl]

My thoughts exactly! :crazy2:

[infernalis]

and sometimes people here make me think "simmer down kids"

Honestly, some of the arguments lately remind me of trying to tell a 13 year old how long it will take to walk six miles to see a friend.

No matter what the damn world record land speed for a human may be, that kid will swear it can be done in half the time.

[lady_bug87]

To which I will still reply..

Yes daddy

[KORBIN5895]

Yes daddy

Do you just call Wayne old?

[infernalis]

I like being "Old" it's the best.

[Gungirl]

A lot of women prefer older men.. :)

[dinosaurdammit]

A lot of women prefer older men.. :)

they have had time to mature and get out of that boy phase that seems to last so darn long

[infernalis]

Amusing, but true.

I have almost 10 years over Dorothy.

Now we are so far off topic that I have to look up at the thread title to remember what the original conversation was.:D

[SnakeyJay]

Always ends up in the gutter with you lot :D

[infernalis]

Yup... I trashed my first marriage over a dirt bike. Apparently I rode my bike more than my wife or something like that..
