Apparently we can't change titles of our own threads anymore so I'll red-x it to have Beets added.

Regarding changing Beet's rules---Beets started it--he should be the one to change them

I think if you reset it to 1, people are probably reposting the same pic and no way to verify that.
I think we should just play on and see where it leads. More of a challenge I would think.

I can agree with Uli. Sure 10,000 is a high number. But there is no shortage of pictures containing numbers higher than 10,000 and it could be interesting to see where it goes with that extra digit, instead of returning to "1" where eventually people will start seeing repeated pictures again.

I asked earlier in this thread and at that time the consensus was to restart at 1. Some suggestions were also offered about not having two lego or two train pictures follow each other. I offered perhaps have a theme of the picture. If so we could have more that one going at a time.

If I may suggest, allow this to percolate for about a week so all posters and lurkers get a chance to have input and we don't go with just the views of weekend posters.

As to repeats, after 10,000 pictures are you going to remember it anyway?

If we go on from here at some point we will run out of anything but part number type pictures. Natural things count only so high. Something to keep in the back of your mind.

Maybe it's a good idea to go till 20,000?

As we have all seen, the higher numbers are nearly all train pictures or part numbers. I would suggest two possibilities.
    1. We carry on as now until 20,000 and see where we are then.

    2. We revert to 1, but agree to no trains being used, or only every other post. Otherwise it gets too easy and boring. But I can see a lot of modding having to be done!


This is a popular game and of course it should continue, but it needs an extra element of difficulty in it to make it more challenging.

Me 2¢ worth M'Lud



Idea #1 sounds good(#2 will be too much work;)

For some reason, all I see is red xs, so I can't verify anything. Will try again in a little bit or tomorrow.

That red x is for a VERY offensive post me thinks.

Lol Julie, not that red x. It is the one, where you can't see a picture. Not sure what was wrong, but it is all fine now.

On another note, I can only see a 0000 in Vic's last picture, so I guess, we will have to give him the benefit of doubt.

So do we do we go on? I would like the challenge.

I thought I was the only one who saw the 0000. I'll send him a PM so he can change his picture.

It is to late to edit, so we will need to unlock the thread for him.

I blew the picture up and there is what looks like a one behind those hooks in front of the 0000's

Victor said it shows 10,000 above the coupler and to the left, and he's right, so I guess we can lock the thread again.
