i dont mean to make anyone feel bad...but there are just too many poeple on caedes these day..now i know caedes will agree with me...im glad that this site is gaining popuarity..but when i joined there were like .....maybe 10,000 members. now there are 50131. i dont mind all the members but i cant help but to get agitated when somone named Doggystyle...says that my mountains are to pointy.......anyhow...i just think that poeple should all contribute...or at least have more than 5 o 6 karma points.

Maybe I'll make an option so that you can hide the 'users online' list and pretend that you're the only person online. ;-)

Most people that post art on sites like this do it so they can get feedback on it and to improve from that feedback. Those people want a lot of visitors so they get more oportunities to get feedback and learn. What exactly do you want to accomplish from posting your art?

Caedes- Maybe set it up so none-CC members have to earn something like 10-15 karma points every 3 months to keep their membership up?

The work of art may have a moral effect, but to demand moral purpose from an artist is to make him ruin his work. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - 1832)

I agree with WN. People who just join once and then never come back are just like people who never come here in the first place.

I'm thinking of expiring old usernames anyway. I could put unused username into a different database and allow the person to come back and claim it, however new members would be allowed to register that name also.

And there are instances that when certain people decide to register, they leave a remarkably rude comment *recalls vividly* and then disappear.

Yes, the speed isn't what it used to be but the rest has grown in leaps and bounds. It is and will be for a long time, the best site for sharing and discussing photography. These little things are not worth the time to fret over.

I say we "decimate" the membership like the Romans. Every tenth is 'eliminated'.... I, of course, will do the counting and, as always, am open to bribes of all kinds. And we thank you for your continuing patronage.

Expiring old user names is a great idea. Also perhaps, a three month membership to begin with for people who just download without contributing images or commenting. I think three months is plenty for desktop surfers, and they could go through the membership info page again to continue.

Expriring old user names is a stupid idea. Unless you mean user names that arn't used anymore.

I used to have another user name when I went on line at work but I no longer use it. I don't remember what it was though but I could give my old E mail address.

Out of the total members, how many are on the cadre? As anyone not using this site longer than 3 months must be ill / in a coma / not coming back.

Art is the perception of the creator. Meaning is the perception of the viewer. acceptance is the perception of society.

If you really look at the Karma points you will see that many people have not been active in a long time. They came, they took, they left. So dont let the numbers be intimidating.
