Heath, what size is your pic collection? as in megs/gigs.

Damn you got some pics.

He'd have less if he didnt steal them off peoples websites.

He'd have less if he didnt steal them off peoples websites.

I don't think that answers the question very effectively.

I'm always up for a debate though. I don't claim the pictures as my own, there are plenty that are my own, and i don't make a big deal out of that. Me grabbing other people's photos and putting them in the folder that I have all the photos in enables me to have more eye candy on my computer, and be more effective in helping people visualise stuff that they are considering, when they request to see photos from others.

What the f*ck is the problem with that?

L32M20, if you'd like to see more photos of Papaya sedans, send me an e-mail, [email protected]

He'd have less if he didnt steal them off peoples websites.

And what's the problem? He doesn't use the pictures to benefit himself in anyway at all. He doesn't erase any watermarks or anything. He just collects them and normally compiles them really well so when somebodies asks for pics, he can give them what they want! I'm sure the people who have taken the pics are happy to see them being used to benefit others! And if they really wanted credit for the pics, they would have put their own watermark on them!

I think its fantastic what Heath does! Please don't come out and label him a thief for it, that's just uncalled for doesn't help the forum at all.

id like to know who here DOES NOT click and save nice pics of toranas when they see them regardless of where they came from. i dont see what the big deal is of heath collecting them and cataloging them so that he can look at them for inspiration...(paint the front)...and help others out with pics. it would be a pretty useless site if we couldnt help each other out with torana stuff...especially with simple pics.

[lcgtr1970]

did you watch southpark last night BigT? Ron Howard...ahahahaha

[Heath]

DJ has been carrying on about that all morning hahahah

Maybe in future when posting a large number of photos you should:
A. put a warning so those with limited downloading capacity or Dial up are aware
B. Acknowledge if cars are members cars (eg GML-31)
C. Acknowledge they are not your own pics and are copied from websites, incase a site is uphappy with photo ripping.

Please be aware that Heath has been very helpful to some members who have lost files in the past.
Next time Heath - please post in a new thread with "Not Dial-up friendly/Large image load" and we can then put it into the thread it is aimed at with a warning in the title.
All, hit the Stop button on your browser if you don't want the pics to download next time

AGAIN people .... no jumping on the bandwagon, have some respect for admin and if you have a problem with a member or an admin, PM another admin about it. Acting like whinging kids in a playground isnt going to do you any favours.
Spam posts may be deleted with no explanation, and repeatitive spam posting will incur warnings and eventually bannings.

I show respect for any member who shows respect to me, regardless of whether they signed up today or they have been an admin for six years. I was shown no respect by having some very subjective cheap-shot. If I saw anyone else say that statement to anyone else on this member, I would jump in and have my speil regardless of whether anyone else had or had not done it. I didn't get a chance to read T's post though.

I think any "Pics wanted" thread is enough of an indication that it will be dial-up unfriendly, just like the "random picture thread", or a project thread. Do you think that is a fair statement Grant?

If they are very large or numerous, why not just post links rather than starting a whole new thread?

[enderwigginau]

Yes Heath, I agree, but many users won't make that assumption.
Sorry mate, should have put another next to the line aimed at you.

Running late on lunch looking at this, so in a rush.
Some people have issues when other keep pics of their cars, and that is understandable.
Ass mentioned in the edit to Tony's post, you have helped others when they have lost files in the past, so no drama there.

Just a reference or any info will stop any attacks.
Also, it can sometimes be detrimental to a website, when their pics are used elsewhere.
I know we have had other places remove things that were taken directly from here in the past....

Got any Silver LH/X sedans??

[Heath]

Now that I think about it even more, the concept of starting a new thread sounds even more ridiculous. The thread was dedicated to photos that will be posted. It will obviously not be dial-up friendly.

Maybe I'm wrong here, but wouldn't one of the jobs of a moderator/admin be to edit titles of threads with information like "Not dial-up friendly" and "Not suitable for work" etc if the original poster neglects to do so? Obviously where the line is drawn is quite debatable, but on other forums, that kind of thing is very common.

Regarding the large photo spamming, I did do that particular job two years ago. Nowadays i would just post a link to my photobucket website, but no one seems to like that anyway.

EDIT: Posted too slow as well. Obviously my gripe is not with you, it's with Tinkers.

Yeah, and Heath is the body in the freezer

Just to clarify, if you post in a new thread (the new considerate Hetah that is ) with a Not-Dial-Up-Friendly warning then in the post say it's for the other thread we'll merge them.....

Admin and Mods generally don't have the time to read every post, so may not notice one that is killing ppls download limits
Help us help everyone else and we're all happier for it.

Better change the title up there ^^^^^^^^^^

[MRLXSS]

How many people actually have Dial-up these days? Is it even available any more?

If you have slow net, you open up a page with lots of pics... you go ahh shit "Stop" and bugger off.

No one complained 2 years ago when heath posted it... So don't see why 2 years later its a problem...

[GML-31]

add this one to your collection too Heath, will get more pics when I take it to a show.
