I think it will be a good idea to show how the 5 winners have fared in the contest by showing the number of votes each one received.

That's a good idea Raj....I concur wholeheartedly....

Will people like the idea Raj? the now removed C-index was very popular with many members who've now left. Caedes has become a sleepy community what effect could your idea have? Sorry I haven't reached a conclusion on this one.

Why shouldn't people like it Phil? It gives one an idea how one has scored.

One thing for you to chew your thoughts on, begin with this Raj.

People don't necessarily vote for the best image! simply because they may want friends or indeed themselves to win. This is human nature like it or not, so by using this assumption the figures you'd like to see will always be distorted.

Members of the general public and politicians use slightly similar methods when voting in political elections all the time.

Great idea Raj!
wow i wonder what LOL2112 thinks about this Phil? interesting how in just one day of joining that new member got 16 votes against my "eyes" topic i suggested with his/hers "excessive photoshop manipulation" topic they picked?..now how was that?? and only one comment directed towards me..and so its seems my manipulation work. just one thing that person/persons forgot to cover up :)

Huummm! the phrase "dont get trapped" interesting, sorry to jump conversation topics... but i do like that phrase.

I have already my "eyes" ready for posting. According to Phil now I only have to contact my friends and others and do a "vote for me" campaign!! What nonsense!

I

Phil if your so unhappy with caedes and the way its run? may i suggest to just leave! take the pic ripper with you!! you sure cause a lot of commotion! i can make you a going away cake in PS...oh im sorry that would be "excessive photoshop" wouldnt it? sorry scratch that idea. can i use windows paint maybe?

For someone that does not post very much, Phil meaning you, you sure like to stir things up! Like it was said, if your that unhappy with the site, why are you still here. I think you just like to see what you can stir up. I like the idea Raj suggested, and would love to see that put in place. I vote for the images that I find the most pleasing to my eye, not my friends, and I don't try to be so damn negative about the site, positive thinking is much better than negative for ourselves, and the Caedes. Grow up, shape up or ship out! In other words get over yourself and the same to your buddy that your attached to the hip with. This is all so stupid, all because of a big ego trip!

Caedes is starting to feel like a movie with Dr Evil and mini me now...or is it Dr Rip

Dick and Puss comes to mind. Hmmmm??? I think this has become such a childish game, really let's grow up people, and get past things, I can if you will. The worst thing in our daily lives is negativity! I'm sure we all have enough of that already so let's have a good outlook here on Caedes, and get away from the negative. I for one am tired of the bull ----! but I won't let it drive me away from Caedes. I'm a supporter of the site,and have been since Sept. 2006. Cheers to those that think positive! I am tipping the glass as I type this, even though it's still morning. Not really but the thought is there.

To get back to the first comment here I like the idea that Raj came up with! Kudos! Constructive advice.

i just wanna shoot something...what season is it? duck season or rabbit season. and do i shot it now or wait til i get home..shoot it now! shoot it not now!!

Sorry for the late reply to my comment folks, who am I dealing with here, the three stooges or the Keystone cops? This used to be a sensible thread, please stop it your killing me.

now im beginning to think Forest Gump said it best..."stupid is what stupid does".

I want to thank all who helped me receive second place in the Eyes contest. I thought all the others were great choices also.
I enjoy entering and hope others do too. Thanks again.
