As for getting along, I think we all get along here better than in most forums. I have seen forums where the repost police can get really ugly.

OCC is not ONLY for original material, but if you think about it, what exactly is the value of reposted material other than it is more accessable to newcomers when posted in current threads. But a duplicate really has no other intrinsic value if it occurs in the same physical location as its twin. I suppose to a newbie, a really great pic from the past is a lot more likeable than a lot of the new stuff i post, since to him it is ALL new. And if that keeps him coming back for more, there is going to be value in that. But, keep in mind that quality as well as quantity counts, in reposts and new pics alike. Also, reposts that were only posted for the first time days ago don't share this advantage that I mentioned. Recently, I dredged up my nus mais justes pics from a few years back because I knew they were REALLY old and buried deep inside the archives. But reposting something posted just the other day 3 pages back in a current thread is not creating a huge advantage to someone accessibility-wise. Either pic is about equally accessible.

I apologize to others for taking up time and space here for this, and the other day I thought a related rant should have been carried out by pm. So if I have more to say to Osreb, I will pm him. Osreb, your thanks total tell me you are valuable to OCC, and my only issue really has to do with in which threads you choose to post, as some are more geared towards original pics than others. Threads on narrow topics can peter out quickly, and although reposts can keep it bumped, too many will cause people to lose interest altogether. I'd rather let the thread fall back in the pack a little until more original pics surface. In part thats because it is disappointing (and time consuming) to see a favorite old thread bumped, open it up, and then find out the latest post only contains pics that have been heavily reposted elsewhere.


thanks,

Same oppinion as u Klondike. The fact that I didn't post regurarly at this thread is just the simple fact that there are no much pics to find in the archives of internet anymore. There are always pics of naked women, in combination with water, but just some of the pics are to low for my standard to put them in this thread. I could put them in an other nudist thread, but the chance is way too big that it would be a repost. A repost is not a shame, unless it is way too early to repost it. They are like a good movie. Sometimes u want to look twice to it when there is enough time between them, so some pics are worth to repost like each year (unless I didn't know), for the new members. In my case I only did it maybe twice or 3 times. Concerning this thread I only want to post quality pics that are fitting my standard, but everyone is free to post whatever he/(she?) wants. I will do my best to upload pics, when I have time, and more important when there are some new. I hope to post soon again.
