Hey all,
Recently I've started spending some more time here after a hiatus. I'm pleased to find that the board is as wonderful as I remembered.
And I'm certainly not a top contributor in any way, so don't have much grounds to stand on when it comes to criticizing other members, but I find it disheartening how often I see a reply that just says "zip please."
It's not contributing anything to the forum, and I think it's disrespectful to the people who take the time to post content to the boards.

...I guess this is mostly just a rant. And I suppose I'm interested in what other people have to say about it.
Myself, I find it aggravating when I have to download a full zip in order to see a few photos that I'm interested. I do understand how collectors and others who like zips would want them. But I think it's disgusting to see people demanding that contributors take the time to post zips, when those same people won't even take the few seconds required to do so themselves and post it for others who enjoy zips.

In all events, I'm still proud to be a member of this board. It has by far the most sophisticated, mature community I've ever seen on a board of this type, not to mention some incredible contributors.
And I look forward to sharing whatever I can find elsewhere that hasn't popped up here first.
