It’s not a huge deal, but usually we have 5-8 votes on the thread. We definitely have a sure thing each week, but it doesn’t hurt to have the threads noticed on Fark like that.

I should probably add it to the history, but in years past, before we had a set green time, voting up the thread was our primary means of attracting attention and a decent greenlight time. So, it’s kind of force of habit for me now…

once we got the regular time i quit link voting.

i’m guessing Drew would rather have page views than link votes 🙂

Link threads? Explain. If you mean mentioning on regular fark posts about the contest, I already did my part tonight, in a thread asking about gays going straight (which is actually a really funny thread). I left saying I had to post to the contest and requested they vote whore me.

U-Man – I tried to make myself clear and obviously failed. I meant type of photography not equipment. I’ve taken some great macro stuff with my p&s too. The pic I posted non-voting in the thread was a p&s pic, likewise the black widow I used in Anniversary IV (which didn’t place well, but still is a good spider picture =P ). So yeah, you rock and you more or less admitted it. heehee

No, link votes–look near the top of the page, under the headline, and you should see a place to vote for the link.

I guess people don’t like pix of spiders eating. I can’t take it personally that mine has no votes lol. But it’s so funny! In an I’m-a-big-meanie-for-laughing-at-the-poor-fly way. =P

I think I just voted for you, justkat. I likes. The problem is with SO many good pictures, I’d nearly want to vote for all of them. I tried to limit my voting to one of each type insect, and one per person. I failed at this, but that was the goal going in.

Done, Elsinore!

Reality check: people ARE noticing my first picture has a spider in it, yes? The dragonfly is about 2″ big, for scale. There’s three shots with spidey in view; one he’s looking away, the other he’s walking away. I thought he stole the shot, making him my first pic. I’ll post b-sides when I get home (I have one of the caterpillar that for the world looks like an uncircumsized penis; I should have gone with that one! I’ll attempt to post from facebook page, don’t know that it will work.)

I don’t limit my voting like that. In general I vote by 1) does the picture fit the theme correctly? 2) Is it technically good? 3) Do I just plain like it? And for bonus points: 4) Is it clever in some way?

Generally a picture has to have the first three elements to get my vote, but sometimes if it has an abundance of, say, 2 or 3 or sometimes even 4 it may make up for a deficiency in 2 or 3. I almost never vote for something that is off theme as I interpret the theme.

All that said, if the right elements are there, I vote freely. It’s totally okay with me to vote for 50 pictures. 😀 I wouldn’t be surprised if I voted for that many or more this week; this contest is relevant to my interests to say the least.

But if you threw a vote my way, thank you!! 😀

I generally don’t limit my voting either, but with as many good pics as there are this week, I’da been all day voting for them all.
