Why has the same picture been on the homepage for 3 days?

In reality you guys picked it. The homepage is totally automated and linked to the Photo Of The Day. So if a ton of people decide to rank up a snowboard picture then it gets the space. Its a pretty sick picture, I don't really see a problem with it!

"Yeah this is 100% the truth. We actually REMOVED the ability for us to have anything to do with the selection of the homepage, because we wanted to see what happens when we leave it in the hands of the newschoolers users.

I think its great that the users of this site are so open minded to good photography that they would rank a snowboard picture high. That speaks volumes about the amount of respect that truly resides deep down in us all." Mr Bishop

these replies came from questioning when the image was of a snowboarder but from what has been said, its been the same fro 3 days now because its been continually rated up by people. its no longer chosen by mods or owners its fully automated to be the picture of the day.

Hah no actually this is a mistake. We had some mediocre photos come through at teh beginning, so we made the rules that pick it extremely strict. It hasn't gotten one that passes our criteria in the last 3 days.
We'll be adding a second set of less strict logic so that it doesn't do this again.
