Is it so hard to have a specific (reasonable) time frame to automagically greenlight to? Really?

Is 12:01 AM fair?

*I remember, chakalakasp, we’re not supposed to make assumptions — it’s just that this image is so good in so many ways (Barbie’s hair helps) it seems oh so obvious…*

I wouldn’t even know where to begin other than beer bribery. How is it that they got folded in, given forums, regulated times, etc and Farktography didn’t?

I’ve wondered that myself. There has been no photoshop contest that I know of that has the number of participants that we do.
On another note, Who did you get to model for your strawberry picture? She has an awesome nose.

*nod* we have large numbers of participants, and I suspect if they did some kind of analysis, they’d find we bring people into the TF fold at a pretty good rate. Though maybe that’s the underlying thought? Frustrate enough of us with the crappy greenlight times, and we’ll continue to go TF?

As for the model, well, huzzah for self-timer! My nose definitely benefitted from the extreme crop–it’s nothing special in its entirety–but thanks 😉

Anyway, this is the first time I can recall where all three of my entries were taken with the Canon 50mm prime I have. It’s nothing to sneeze at, as it’s the $80 f/1.8 version, but nevertheless…

I hear that’s a great lens. I keep meaning to pick one of those up.

“analysis”, wait, what? Did someone say analysis?

and point to me as someone who came into TF because of Farktography.

Hard to tell if this is tongue-in-cheek or not – my sarcasm detector is on the fritz. It is the use of “anatomy” that makes me think there’s a funny in there.

I don’t think it is a repeat. SaintDiluted‘s portfolio doesn’t have it twice, and there’s no missing thumbnails. That said, the Scarlet R ain’t up so I don’t know if the URL was reused.

schnee – count me as well for someone who got TF b/c of farktography. and sorry about the ‘forktography’ – i didn’t even think of the FSM.

i feel shame.

1) No shame – it was a good test case. The less someone thinks about the FSM, the better I’ve done my “job”. It should just work.

B) I think a later greenlight time provides more pressure for someone to go TF. Certainly not a deciding factor but over time I got tired of the late greenlights and decided to spend the $. I have no idea if Fark, Inc. thinks about it that much, but there it is.
