for some reason altspace thinks he owns this thread. which is why he is constantly editing everyone else's posts and then posting up as many shots of whatever-the-hell he wants.
I do not "own" this thread, nor do I post as I wish. The simple fact is I am (was) a moderator for this thread, and if you read the first post you will see what the rules are. In fact, I've been quite easy going about many posts here. It saddens me to see the amount of bashing of peoples photos and of their cars. So yes, I remove those comments and
without giving infractions. I simply ask constantly in a nice manner that people try to focus on what this thread is all about. Enjoying great photos of
your Mazda. If it just so happens that part of the background/foreground is a model, cat, horse, house, bridge...whatever...then I do not see an issue with that. However random photos of a bicycle, chair, rude gestures, and such is not what this thread is about.
I always thought of this thread as a great place to learn from each others photography skills. I know I have over the several years I have been a member here. If you ask many people you will see how far I have come in my own talent, and I too have seen great improvement in others. Why is that? Because we all conversed about the photos here, not just bombard each other with constant insults and questions about how slammed your car should be, or the amount of "rice" your car has.
It was a pleasure meeting many of you, but my time has come to move on. So enjoy.
