*** ADMIN NOTE *** NO PICS DIDN'T HAPPEN? I call BS! - Page 2

And that is why you are the great and wise Grand Poobah!

My biggest problem is that before I can get the camera the food is eaten - now tell me that didn't happen!

I did 85 quesdilla's this weekend for a church event and was so busy pushing out the food that I couldn't stop for pics - but everybody was full and smiling so I know that happened.

Thanks for the reminder that this isn't all about the pron (but pron is good!)

Well put and I agree!!

BBQchef33 · 02-01-2010, 03:57 PM

Yes, pictures speak louder than words, but without pictures, sometimes there is silence and thats not good.

However, i will admit, sometimes its the pictures that get my ass out there to cook so we WANT THOSE PHOTOS! They also get us primed for lunch, drool at work, and without them, there would be no throwdown. Pics are great.. but so are the techniques, the ideas, and just sharing the experience, sans photo.

Heres another one.. I have a camera phone filled with pics i have never posted. Why? Lazy, no cable, bluetooth failed, got sidetracked.. and because of that, I never posted the experience. FAIL!

This is to do nothing but to make everyone aware of the perspectives, both sides. For those not to be afraid to post without photos, and for those to keep the photos coming when u have them!

I am glad theres alot of agreement here.. I should have said something sooner..

You know I'm a big enough man to admit I did that today to Todd Ras and I apologize if it was taken offensively. I of course meant nothing negative it was all in fun and I hope my apology is accepted. I completely agree with Poobah and I do the same thing about not posting cooks if I forgot to take pics. I feel like no one wants to hear about it without seeing it as well. I will be a better brethren from now on.

Well said.

There is a great amount of extremely useful information here, photo or no photo.

Thank you for this great site.

I agree, and I have made a few no pics comments in jest but I have also defended threads that had no pics too a few times. Still, I would never want to think someone would not wish to share because of no photos. A favorite recipe thay used even if the camera failed (Or whatever reason) but they wanted to let us in on would be enough too. Or any other information that we could find useful within our own experiences.

Fixed that for you.

I was reluctant to post for a long time because of the no pic things.My main helper at cookoff's wont post on any forum because of it, which is a shame because he cooks beautifully.
This is an awesome forum.

Boshizzle · 02-01-2010, 04:22 PM

You painted a very clear picture of your feelings on this subject. :-)

Pics are great, but don't hold back posting just because you don't have any.

i dont think your post was taken offensively at all, and I also did not see it yet. :) So please dont think this came about from your posting.

The moderating team has been discussing this privatly for a few days. It was THEY who looked at it from several different perspectives and brought it out. When i read some of their comments, i realized it wasn't just me and now we say something. I'd like to publicly throw some kudos at them for being proactive and not let this just fester silently.

chambersuac · 02-01-2010, 04:26 PM

Hey, I like the pictures for learning and for inspiration, but no one should feel like they shouldn't post because of them...well a few people should always post pictures- like Rick, Ross, and Jeanie :) But, only of pork - because only pork is BBQ :) <ducking mod>
