Well Done on this one Paul and i agree completely. Would be nice to start to cut done on these profiles certainly the ones with very bad camera pics. Now the real question is will this be done? PB

Hi Guys

We filtered a load of dead accounts only a month ago. So if there is a load more then you see how quick people open accounts.
We agree that accounts should have full details to make searching easier.

Just because the accounts are not sorted or removed now does not mean they will not be, we have jobs too you know

I don't know if I qualify as a "lurker" or not. I don't put up photos on a regular basis and I have had only two studio sessions with models from this site. There will be more. BUT I do take a lot of photographs. I do check in almost every day to see what the craic is and to see what photos are being put up and to see what I can learn from them. As far as other contribuitions are conerned ..... I was recluctant to put up too many photos that were representative of the majority of stuff that I do because the flavour of the site from the photos put up by photographers and models was abundantly glamour or nude. Even a lot of the conversations were along those lines. It didn't bother me, it just led me to believe that it was a photgrapher/model site and landscapes and the like were a far second. I am now corrected by recent blogs about that. On the ohter side - the community side - I have ventured in with my big toe to test the waters on a few occasions when people asked for ideas or opinions and I got no response. What do I take from that? Again, it doesn't really bother me but it makes me more inclined to be a watcher/learner and a sometimes contributor. Being 60, I am probably less inhibited about expressing myself. Maybe others aren't and are hiding in the shadows? Yes there are Bebo-ish contributors. There is nothing wrong with Bebo but the its reason for existence can't be grafted onto this site. I think that those who do regard this as a kind of networking site soon see it isn't and the adminsitrator is left to clean up after them when they're gone. A lurker's 2 cents worth! Paul T.
