Tried checking the FAQ's but it won't load. Leads me to a blank webpage. How would I go about posting a pic on Dave's?

Open up a Photobucket album and then go from there. You can hit the Img or URL things above when you post a message.

I've never seen an image posted on Dave's, I believe the image function has been disabled--due to abuse?

You would have to post the url and hope your readers click or copy the link to view what you wish to show them. If it's 'not safe for work', the netiquette is to say/warn NSFW.

If you're asking about an avatar, that's a different subject altogether. I got mine before the regs kicked in and I'm not sure what the new criteria for having one is. 100, 200 posts plus permission requested directly from Dave?

Dave's ESL disabled image postings a few years ago because a lot of threads were being overwhelmed by image postings of porn etc.

Yes, that's how I understood it. Then the smarty-pants decided the outsized porn images could still mess up the boards when used as avatars and that fiasco ensured further hoop jumping for privileges.

Love your av, Whistleblower. He was doing great right up to the end!

ONE guy decided to be an idiot and spam nasty gay sex/fetish porn to retaliate against Dave's. So Dave's let him win by removing pic and avatar privileges.

If Dave's is willing to give people permission to have avatars on an individual basis, why not also let those same people have pic posting privileges?

Bandwidth, load times, sorting out the data base permission functions?

Just because someone has been playing nice for 200 posts doesn't mean they couldn't go postal anytime after that. Twisted Evil

Tis a leap of faith.

What happened to Bassexpander?

Bass? No s�. Quick search shows he was last active posting mid-February.

But the Midnight Runner was posting just a few days ago, albeit selling used cars. Very Happy

Dave's seems to go through phases where the mods ban long term users for minor infractions of the TOS, then everything goes back to normal. It really kills the color and culture of the board. A lot of the time they are posters who have something legitimate to say, or give good advice. Bass was one of those people another was Yu Bum Suk. A classic troll from back in the day (maybe 18 months ago) was Spliff. He posted garbage but he didn't hurt anyone. He was banned because someone wanted to seek revenge, and scammed him out of some cash on the buy/sell/trade board.

There are hardly any of the original characters left from when I started lurking here. Lame.

In my opinion this should be a forum for people who genuinely need advice or information. If you just want to sit and read blogs all day, I'm sure there are a thousand other sites to do so. Some of the drivel that I've seen posted on this site makes me wonder how the mods even bother to let anyone post anything.

bassexpander finally give up posting here?

it's a complete waste of life spending time on these web forums posting about basically crap...unless you come to them looking for particular information.
