i've got to agree with you on that. I didn't participate on this challenfe because i thought i didn't have anything funny to post, but seeing what was submitted i guess i should have submitted a photo. It seems like once more people try to bend the themes. :(

Huh! I thought it be more complicated than that... Now watch me go crazy as I do the same thing! I've become a freakin' update button addict! LOL

i know i know, it's quite normal for even an excellent shot to get one or two piss poor badly judged votes, and i totally accept that (just look at the top 2 of each of the last challenges). it's just seeing it "live" as it were gets me a tiny bit miffed. oh hum. nevermind. just a mini rant there. happy now. |
Not me - I didn't do any voting last night - wanted to, but was late home. If you get a 2 over the weekend it might be me ;)

How can you tell the value of individual vote. Do you have an equation that you apply using the number of votes and the average? I would really like to know and no, I did'nt give you the 2 (at least not tonight!)

Well, its a good thing some actually consider the photos when scoring. I guess we all have to tolerate those who score as if they were weilding a weapon.
C'mon people. I know this discussion has been beaten to death, but score the photos! If the title adds to your overall enjoyment of the photo bump up the score. If the title annoys you or detracts from your enjoyment of the photo mark it down a notch.
I really don't understand those who want to throw around ones like target practice. |

Thanks for the one then, I'm sure that is how you looked at my shot. Honestly, you have to find humor where you can and look at the 2nd place shot in the last humor contest, without the title it's just a shot of a plant dipping into a glass, nothing particularly funny about that to me but it's the title that makes the shot.

Well, Robin Williams, Eddy Murphey, and Ben Stiller all have one thing in common, they aren't particularly funny until they open their mouths. Jim Carrey, on the other hand...

| Just got back from Idaho, using in-laws computer to enter humorII & low-tech. Didn't realize how different they would look. No wonder I'm doing badly, they deserve it. I agree, humor on this sight must be lacking, must be the election blues for some or something. I think mine is quite funny, others think the opposite. Oh well. Van |

Yeah I know what you mean, any I rated well were good PICTURES. It's happening in the Low Tech contest too, I think captions can add to the picture but when a caption is needed to a)make a picture funny or b)Tell the viewer what they're actually looking at it's kinda off.

A blind favorite, must be doing something right. Unfortuately my score's fallen. Still, 16 comments in a day with a score about 3 I'd imagine is a good thing. So I can't complain. |
