Mandatory photo at 1,000 posts?

  • Hi ya,

    wouldn't it make this fora a bit more personell to make it mandantory for posters who crossed the 1,000 posts barrier to put a photo in their profile? I would actually love to see the faces behind the names.

    Or another suggestion:

    What about having a "SQL Server hall of fame (haha )" where posters who crossed the 1,000 (or whatever) barrier can state in some words along with a photo why they are here and why they do what they do?

  • Hey Frank,

    Which is the real you, the grinning shark or the silhouette with a question mark shaped nose???  (I'm glad I got a long ways to go )

    I think the hall of fame idea is good, but how about SQL Server CENTRAL hall of fame, and just make it open to anybody?

    Steve

  • mumble, mumble, forgot the CENTRAL, of course...

    ...and there we go. Will add a better one when I find some.

    I think it would be nice for everyone to put a photo.

    btw Frank, the photo should be the real you not one to make you look younger

    ps Frank, the photo is probably the real you the other one was an imposter

    Far away is close at hand in the images of elsewhere.

    With age comes wisdom.

    quote... and have more hair

     Aren't wigs realistic these days

    Far too funny

  • Laughing. I am soooo glad I have 600+ posts before I have to worry about finding a photo that doesn't stop a clock.

  • Age and treachery will always defeat youth and exuberance.

    It would be nice to see photos, but not everyone wants that. Many people don't want to be recognized, so we don't want to push that. An SSC hall of fame isn't a bad idea. I'll talk with Brian and Andy about it.

    Guess I should put up my photo . How about this one of my boy?

  • I didn't mean to force people to put up their photo or otherwise they will be banned from posting here. I thought more of some kind of friendly fire or peer pressure on them. Not more.

  • Yeah, it really didn't take too much pressure to get Frank to comply!!!
