The pictures section is completely dead.

I made a thread awhile ago discussing how the vids and pics section needed a re-hyping, but we'll forget about the videos section for now. some comments are still flowing over there.

i just looked in the pics section. For real - on the entire first page currently, there are 4 comments total. Looking back in my profile, some of my pictures got like 10 comments, 9 comments, 12 comments consistently (that's 1 picture!!). and they're not even good pictures.

i feel bad for photographers especially, because i can remember a few years ago when people would be in the pics section, critiquing and giving good advice and props. but seriously, nothing is going on over there now.

maybe it was how the site used to be set up before the last major update. if i remember correctly, pics and vids were easy to get to and easy to upload.

can we find away to make the pics section more apparent? maybe put a big box on the front page advertising it or something?

Just as an FYI the picture section has been going through a massive overhaul for a while now. We've been noticing the same lack of interest and are doing our best to get things back up to speed.

Before winter hits, we'll push out an update, and see if that helps. We're certainly interested in hearing your thoughts though! Feedback is key.

suggestion:

how about when you upload a picture the section you are uploading it to is already set to private so that you have to actually click public gallery so we dont get as many buying and selling photos on there?

or some way to make sure that all the for sale pictures dont end up with the actual photos?

Yeah, the pics section is just flooded with B/S/T photos now. I just don't even go anymore cause the legit photos are far and few between.

just do more vague categories. instead have, top rated, ski related, misc, summer, buy/sell, wallpapers.

keep the crap out, i don't need to see 13 pictures of someones crowbars or jiberish...

also, skiing shots that are all virtually the same are kinda boring (ie. same jump, same time, same skier, same shot, different trick...)
maybe allow to group pictures like that ?

It would be cool to have a area on the home page that would display the latest upload for pictures and videos.  I think it would be more people to check out the galleries.

separate junk photos from actual photos...i know when i post a picture on bsl i have to load it up threw new schoolers because i am retarded. Make a completely separate folder for junk photos and actual good photos. This is kind of done with categories right now so my point is somewhat invalid
