Hello Grand Administrators!

First, thanks for envisioning and bringing this playground to life and all the work that goes into daily management. I know I am much enriched by the discussions that go on in this forum, both serious and playful.

If possible, I'd like to use this forum to work on my own self-improvement project: to get past an "act like a tourist" phobia I have that prevents me from photographing many of the amazing things that I see in my daily life. I was hoping I might start a photo blog in the Picture Threads section to post and get feedback on some of these pictures as a means of encouragement.

However, it seems this locked to starting new threads. I don't see anything in the forum rules about number of posts needed to start threads here, so maybe it has to do with bandwidth, etc. Could you let me know if my idea is even a possibility? Or if it is okay to begin this type of project (a photo or three every few days) in the Members Only section?

Look forward to your response!

NH

Since it's a blog, you can post it to the Members Only subforum if you like.

The Picture Threads subforum is, as you found, indeed locked to new threads for now. I believe it was intended to collect and organize some of the more generalized 'imgboardesque' subjects to prevent them from deteriorating into collections of broken links and so on over time, and that's why the subforum is serving more of an active-archival function.
