Motion to take click and brag off the front page...

I look at the C&B all the time, and I don't really recall much of a feeling like I was reading an ad. I have seen a few chopped pics, but I just let them slide off. It's sad to see someone get so upset over something so small... Oh well to each thier own.

Enhanced photo’s really don’t hurt anyone until one posts “name brand� product usage with it. It is more then obvious someone is selling something when every time they post a photo it contains “brand name� product.

You're kidding, right? I have been a member here for about two years. The person I think you are complaining about has used just about every brand of detailing product available in that period, so what is he selling?
 
I can say this with 100% sincerity; people on Autopia will buy new products regardless of who is using them or how good their pictures look. If there's one thing I've learned in my time here it's that this place is bad for your pocketbook. :)
 
Click & Brag is a tremendous recruiting tool for this hobby and for the Autopia forum. Seeing Paul's silver Mazda Protege in the extreme detail forum is what started me into detailing. I have only been a member since November and I already know who will jump in recommending Zaino, or Werkstatt, FK1, Duragloss, etc. I think most of the thinking members of this forum use a combination of Click & Brag and the detailing product forum when deciding on new products to buy.

I personally would not spend much time on the Autopia forum if the Click & Brag was removed. Since there are no cash prizes for Click and Brag I think the only injury from a "doctored" picture would be to the self esteem of the poster.



Sludge
 
Really, who the hell would doctor pictures for C&B, anyway? If anyone's been on this forum for a decent amount of time, chances are they have a pretty good grasp on detailing in general, and whatever they do will look good. C&B is for sharing your work, compliments are just a side effect...if someone doctors photos, they'll have to do it for every single picture they post, and that eventually becomes very time consuming. I can't see the benefit outweighing the cost of time.



I could put a coat of wax on my car faster than it'd take me to alter a digital photo to make it look better, and I'm sure that stands for most of the guys on here as well.
 
Okay guys. I think this thread has gone on long enough. C&B won't be going anywhere since it's one of the most popular forums we have. This is apparent by clicking on "Forums" and looking at how many people are viewing it at any given time.



Since nothing good can come out of this thread, and the original topic starter hasn't replied even once since it was started, I've chosen to close this thread. Time to move on, and get back to detailing! :)
