Where is the community at TPF?

[helloyo53]

Reading through this whole thread (other than the penguin part :lmao, I really think the people who "miss the old days" are partly to blame. If I were a guest on here, and I read this thread, I don't think I would want to join it at all. If I were reading about people missing the old days when not many people were around, I would click the back button on my browser right away.

I find it quite sad how some of your are complaining. I mean, I wasn't here since day one, and I'm pretty sure it's been around since the year 2000 yes? People, it's an online forum. You have a forum that's been around for 9 years, it's going to change! You have to accept that. You can't expect to go to a forum because it's so nice and think that it is going to stay that way. No, people use search engines. I simply Googled "Photography Forums", and lo and behold, TPF showed up one of the first ones. I joined it.

What's my point? Forums are so easy to find, and if it's online, people are going to join it! If you think that a forum will never change, than you are wrong wrong wrong.

So people saying they miss the old days just makes the newer members not like the forum. It basically divides the forum, the older people on here stick together and post on each other's threads and they don't post on the newer members' threads. That's the problem with this forum.

That's my two cents worth.

Not to disagree with you but I have only been here a couple of months. I see the point of your post but I also feel that a lot of people on here do not CC like others would like.

I wish I could of gotten more comments on some of my work but it did not happen.

That and the penguin thing was fun. LOL

Yeah, I agree. And I admit, I haven't posted as much CC as maybe I should be, but I will definitely be posting some more. I too wish I could have gotten some more comments on some of my work, and I know how those other people feel. I'll definitely try to post some more CC, well, to the best of my ability anyway.

Lets try a hundred uses for penguin other than meat.

I know ya newbies dont like us oldies, but some of us are still here to terrorize your arses.:mrgreen::mrgreen: Im on 6 different photo forums, 2 halloween forums, 1 goth forum, 2 horror forums and one knitting, but this forum is the only one that has any.....

Yeah, the old times were grand, but they are also something we can not have back. Maybe we all have to get to know each other...and you will find we are not as cranky as ya'all think, except for one person. :mrgreen:
BTW...if you take me serious, I have some swamp land available for sale in the Artic, that has a guard penguin....

And now, back to the penguin thing (it's more fun).

Dang newbies eh?

Michael

Just how many penguins does it take to get a quart of oil? Might be a seller at the bike shop.

I've never been able to find out how many babies it takes to get a 12 oz. bottle of baby oil either, if anyone knows that, please clue me in.

Thank you for your concern.

One 8lb baby should yield 2 fl.oz. of oil (you have to use a food processor and distill the resultant slurry - if you use a press to extract you get a lot of other fluids as well as the oil and distilling this mixture always gives a lower yield).
Fat babies are to be preferred, naturally.
So to answer your question - approximately 6 babies.

Cool, I'm about 2 dead babies short. Got 'em in the deep freeze. I'll score a couple more.

Still have to get to the zoo and cap a few penguins. Don't know how much oil they will render. Will try to get a viscosity of about 40 to 60W for engines, 90 for Tranny's.

Any advice on how to do this would be greatly appreciated. Any experiences with penguin oil in Harley's would be cool too....

Not advisable. You'd smell like a mobile chip shop.

Do you mean, like, a cod piece?

As one of those people sometimes.... labled as a talkative talker I would like to argue that there is a problem with this approach!
