Title: New subforum: Without Prejudice
Post by: 32BT on March 16, 2018, 08:49:03 am
Would it be useful to turn the Without Prejudice saga into a separate subforum as a repository for non-landscape images and projects that don't quite fit the other categories?

By making it a separate subforum it will be easier to search and will possibly generate more views/comments (not critique, mind you) per entry.

Any thoughts?

I look and also post there, sometimes, but I find it difficult to keep track if looking after several days, because replies and new stuff ist all in one long thread ...
A Non-Landscape-Section would be nice.

Oscar,

Would it really help, changing location?

Regarding the number of viewers, don't forget that the current WP is at least the third one to bear the name; they were set aside and the current version, with the Chris tag line, was loaded because Chris felt it was getting too large for comfortable handling - or at least, I think that was the reasoning; I'm not sure if the earlier WPs are still available for viewing or not.

The thing is, if you change it from the running, continuous thread model of now, you will just end up with a huge number of independently titled entries, which complicates life even further. Not being a critique section, by intent, there will be little to add to the images which are primarily posted for looking at, not writing about. I think it is important to maintain that essential difference between WP and the other threads about snaps.

Neither would I want to exclude landscape images. To do so would mean that anyone who wanted to show a landscape picture would be obliged to post it in a thread where "critique" is considered a prime attraction, even if the poster didn't want anyone telling him/her how he should have called his shot.

This morning, wandering back from the post office, I stepped into the road to avoid two dogs sleeping on the pavement.

I too like it as it is. I see and treat it like a stream of consciousness thing rather than something organized and disciplined.  :)

True, maybe one trades basically 1 thread with 1000s of posts with 1000s of threads with 1 post... doesn't make sense.
