I agree with the spirit behind the proposal to change the format.
I have not participated - or followed - the thread much but it is likely I would do it more if the proposed changes take place.
There is nothing stopping anyone opening a personal thread and updating it every day with new pictures if they so wish.
Well, that would lack the community.
It also suggests that some 'grass rooting' is OK to get to the desired result.
I understand the desire for quality. Appreciate it in fact.
Still I feel like something is taken away and a loss.
I'd like a more differenciated approach, educational low frequency - high quality, pic exchange only in one thread, competition and rating in another, plus open, high frequency, low lifetime (like a modified each day)... just my five cents.
[edit]sorry, passed Bjørns post. I learned in my professional life that strict deletion in certain short living areas helps keeping everything else clean of debris, rubbish and grass root grow. Well, not my decision, just my offering. [/edit]
