It's not like I don't have the creative energy. Rockstar Games just wrote an article about me and my work on their SocialClub site.

I also spend time enhancing photos for friends of mine.
And just random photos on the web.
I still spend a good portion of each day in Photoshop or in similar programs. And I still come to PSC first to see if there's an image I'd be interested in chopping. Trouble is, I'd rather do other things because the source images don't surprise me anymore. Same shit, different day.

Pothed, I'm guessing the changes in allowing Adv. members to vote for source images came about when Procyon was the owner. Ppl didn't like the bright white background, format, etc, etc. There were lots of forum threads...lots of differing ideas.

Why can't we have a vote to try this out? For 6 months or a year? Any Advantage member can try this and see for herself/himself if it has any effect - edit your own profile (or click on your "Logged in as ..." user name at the top of the screen), scroll down until you see this, and select Old School Mode
Scroll all the way down and click "Submit"

It's the base for Reinman's router if I remember right. I can remember PMing him to find out what it was.

That's cool, and I didn't know that, but I still think we should try out making it the default for everyone, without the 30 day option. I'm not sure that would help at all, but it might be worth a try, I'll certainly try it out myself. Thanks Voks

I'm on it too.... though, I think there may be a setback in the source queue. I have 9 or 10 sources that haven't been accepted/rejected/put in queue for a while now. I think Shaman broke it!

How is that "life getting in the way?" If PSC weren't so boring now, I'd be chopping here. It's not like I have to do those emblems or have to chop my friends' pics. What do you expect of me? To get bored of PSC and just veg on my couch? No. I found more interesting things to do. They didn't "get in the way" of PSC.
More intellectual dishonesty. More reaching. More "I am your opposition, logic be damned."

You're really an idiot. I've already responded to the "What would you like to see?" crap, several times. I've explained why it doesn't satisfy the larger problem. Anybody can post a few pictures that are interesting and don't perpetuate the problem of repetition, but that's not a long-term solution. This thread will die. People will move on. We will forget. We will go back to the same shit different day routine.
Pretending that I did not respond to the "What would you like to see?" argument in such a manner that explained why that wouldn't help is intellectual dishonesty, something you've become quite good at.
I would literally have to list everything other than what has already been done in order to make such a list. It's a lot easier to say "Not the same shit we keep getting." I could make a list of 100 random images, and they could all be used for the next 100 days. Then what? Then I have to supply another 100 images? Then another, then another? No. That's not a feasible solution. I know it, you know it. Pretending that you don't know it is dishonest.

Read my OP and you'll know how.
There is nothing there but speculation based on your own personal observations. Start a poll and maybe you'll have something.
Yes, because starting a poll would get to the bottom of everything.
It would get you something other than your own inner dialogue. You have nothing right now. Other people's opinions can actually help you build a case. Perhaps you have realized that it would only hurt your case. As for the images, did you peruse Shutter Stock? What are you getting there that is different? It seems we'd have to genetically engineer a new species to please you.
Read my OP.
Well, you have a complete lack of self-awareness, and the debating skills of a child. I should have stayed out of this and spent more time chopping. It's fun. You should try it sometime. Goodbye.
Yes, you should have stayed out of this if you didn't have the energy to read the OP.
I can't believe I have to do this a second time. He read it. Nowhere in your original post is there an argument that links the voting to the repetitious (not even that repititious anyway) sources. He countered that concept with logic. You ignored it and pointed back to a nonexistent argument. You have no answer about why advantage members have some unique criteria for selecting sources. He showed what random stock photos would be like. You have no response for that either.
