I'd like to see them.

we have an "I'm going to Japan" thread where we generally put Japan or Japan-related travel pictures...feel free to post them there.

why not have a "pics of Japan" thread? I think it's a different subject.

by default that thread has been used for those who've gone to Japan or are in Japan and have posted pictures from their travels there. in the interest of economy, the mods and regulars here alike don't necessarily favor the creation of new threads when a post can be logically made in a pre-existing thread.

that's why ppl look down at the noobs here who don't read the rules or search for pre-existing threads and start a new thread for the stupidest, most inane banter.

All I'm saying is that I wouldn't think to look for pics of Japan in a thread talking about making a trip there.

fair enough....but i'm telling you it's going to mostly like be merged with that thread in the interest of economy in any event. the thread has become the catch all thread with regard to Japan-related topics that pertain to travel or topics regarding japanese life, society or culture.

Don't make no sense to this monkey. Pics != Travel.

This site has too many rules. I think we should all drop acid, get naked and set our topics free!

YEah! C'mon everybody! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

on its face i can understand your ire but the thread rationally evolved to include pictures because the ppl here who went to Japan (others and myself included) posted their travel pictures there.



nah this site has too many ppl that haphazardly create threads drawing the ire of ppl who don't wanna wade through tons of shiet to find topics of interest.

this isn't aimed at you...but i don't think it's too difficult to read the rules or use the search function before creating a new thread...given the volume of threads already it is more than fair to say that a question comment or suggestion probably fits in a thread that already exists.

I respectfully disagree. Sort of.

Yes, thread consolidation is generally a good thing. One topic for one subject is the ideal, understood. But I think it can be overdone. And in this case, for instance, I don't see the need.

There ought to be a simple rule, like, do a search for your topic, in this case, "pictures of japan", and if you don't see a topic in the first 2 pages of results that looks appropriate, it's ok to make a new one. Or something like that. The simpler the rules the freer people are to express themselves.

Honestly, I wouldn't think to put my pics in a thread about visiting Japan, and more important to me, as I would like to see pics of Japan, I don't want to wade through people's talk about their trip. Given that distinction, it seems to me making a "Japanese Pictures Gallery" thread seems entirely appropriate.

But hay, that's just me.
Not trying to be a pain in the ass, just trying to explain my madness.

that's fine but if ppl are so friekin lazy as to only scan through 2 pages of results...well they are simply too lazy....i mean com'on...it's not a fuggin' dewey decimal card catalog. :shakehead:

it's also a matter of courtesy to the mods....countless threads require more "moderation" on their part......

we used to have threads on every member of NEWS, every member of SMAP, every member of Arashi, etc, etc....then they were all consolidated....i didn't necessarily agree with it at the time but it's definitely economized on the number of threads and the need to regulate multiiple threads.

most new members rarely even endeavor to use the search function or even read the rules....that's a fact.

truthfully nobody ever complained about needing another japan thread....perhaps because the i'm going to japan thread is one of the more active threads on any given day and anybody who bothered to read it would divine rather quickly that pictures are often posted, anecodotal stories, recent events of significance and such are all shared there.
