THE THREAD FOR RX8 Pictures

Lets start posting modded rx8 or exceptionally nice rx8 pictures here.

THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE personal pictures of your own car.

Hopefully this can be a compilation of all the best pictures of rx8's on the web.

RICEY or not, just the best.

Re: THE THREAD FOR RX8 Pictures

I agree with you guys - this whole section of the forum is for pics, not just this one thread.

Besides, RICEY /= best. They're mutually exclusive!

Um, no.

If we use this logic, we will be repeating so many pictures that currently exist in the section that we would be wasting so much server space on this brand new server.

Sorry, this is a bad idea.

Did I ask for opinion? No. But since we are on the topic, imagine the case of someone who is interested in purchasing an rx8 and wishes to find some impressive pictures. Or lets just say an existing member of rx8club wishes to show the rx8 off to his friends. Would he rather have to conduct an extensive and time consuming search? Or would he rather have access to a long thread of outstanding pictures at his disposal.

Furthermore, I thought it would be fun for the members to create a "best of the best" thread, instead of random clusters of pictures.

And I've said this before, why are there so many freakin critical people on this forum. If you dislike the idea be constructive.

Constructive?

Everyone is in agreement (except you) that this ENTIRE section is for what you want in this sole thread.

You're also asking for only NICE photos...sorry, but this is asking for trouble. To say that any RX-8 ISN'T nice is foolish.

I can go into the photo/multimedia section an immediately find endless photos of stock RX-8s, along with many many body kits, mods, etc.

It is apparent that the reason you are pushing this is so it makes it easier for YOU.

Sigh, I already have many saved pictures of rx8's on my harddrive and my other computer. So you have misjudged me. And I dont see why you or anyone else would be so against having a "Best of the Best" thread.

And foolish to say there are not "nice" pictures of rx8's? Get over urself dude... and your car... seriously... I love my car and i think its f'in beautiful... but that doesnt mean that I am strange enough to believe that there are not degrees of beauty... unlike urself.

Quoting: ["You're also asking for only NICE photos...sorry, but this is asking for trouble. To say that any RX-8 ISN'T nice is foolish."]

I mean how many examples in the world do we have of "Best of the best" sections or groups... its everywhere, why not here.

If you want to continue this meaningless argument PM me.

This was meant to mean that what one person thinks is good looking may not be to someone else. SO, saying that you only want "good" photos is sort of, well, stupid.

And I have no desire to PM you.

I guess things like the hall of fame, where people are celebrated as the best players... is sorta stupid too...

I guess a thread where people post the best pictures is sorta stupid also...

Hmmm ur logic is beyond me.

But you know what, simply put, i dont care all that much. If you all dont want to create a thread like that, its a loss to the site, not myself so much.

As for you rx8lover, the only reason i wanted u to PM me was so that we could take this futile arguement elsewhere. But I guess you like to be in the spot light and attract attention.

I'll let you have the last word, go ahead, please.

How is the site losing anything if we don't do YOUR thread?

Here's the key - who gets to decide which are the "best", or thread-worthy, pics? What you think looks great I might think looks like crap (like most of the ricey stuff, like monster wings etc.) What if I decide to post 15 great pics of my car? What if everyone decides to post 15 pics of their own cars? Just how valuable is your "best" thread then? It becomes no different than all the individual threads in the rest of the Multimedia/Photo Gallery section. Unless you become a moderator or the section moderator agrees to manage this, it's not feasible. Sorry, I still think it's not a very good idea.

Regards,
Gordon

No Mike you don't win!!! The first post clearly stated not YOUR own picture... otherwise I would have clearly won with my vast collection of personal RX-8 photos!!!! Secondly, don't be so hard on yourself. :p

Anyway, this post was not thought out well, I could see this thing was going to get flamed from the start.

Well I figure people if peopel have good judgement... this wont be a compilation of people posting their own cars...

How hard is it for people not to flame each other and just respond to the idea I was trying to create.

Perhaps all you critical people could be more constructive and actually provide an idea based on mine.

I still think a best of rx8 photos thread is a very cool idea.

Instead of bitching the shiet out of me, perhaps you could suggest ways of avoiding people posting their own pictures...

As I stated in the first post, I was hoping it would be a mix of people BEST of the Best personal pix, and ones they could find off the web in general...

It would be the equivalent of creating a photo album of the best pictures on the web.

I dont see why people have to just say no, and say somewhat indirectly, "You're an idiot, bad idea."

Can't you see the positive aspect of this and bring in constructive comments...

In any case, I can see that a great deal of you here are just flaming morons... so screw it.

Btw, Mike, thanks for the effort.

No offensive meaning to this response brothervoodoo.. just thinking to myself, does a post like this have to be thought out so thoroughly just so that morons dont flame left and right?

Shows what sort of community we have here. Great.

Perhaps someone can rephrase my orignal badly thought out post...

"Lets start posting modded rx8 or exceptionally nice rx8 pictures here.

THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE personal pictures of your own car.

Hopefully this can be a compilation of all the best pictures of rx8's on the web.

RICEY or not, just the best."
