I dont think its a rule, but what people usually do in these types of threads, otherwise we could be here all day copying and pasting IMG Urls and might as well just list titles of movies. (maybe).

I've seen plenty of people post pictures of posters they don't have. I would wager to say everyone does it. Besides, there's already a separate forum just for showing off WHAT YOU OWN:

Saying you have to post pictures of only what you own in other sub-forums is delusional at best.

I would say there's no "rule" per se, but I will also say that the assumption I made to this point is that, other than those in the unicorns thread, I figured the pics being posted were for posters that are owned.  Otherwise, we only have to go to impawards.com to see posters and throw them into this or that category. 

I guess putting it another way, what's the point of posting pictures of posters that you don't own?  It's like window shopping.  Dry humping.  Low Cal Sweetener.  Low fat cookies.  There's no payoff.

I'm not going to make a rule, and I don't presume to even have the right or power to make a rule like this.  But, I know I would consider the fact that if I started posting posters of things I don't own, I would expect that someone in the group is going to question just what the hell I'm trying to accomplish.

I'm sure this can be argued the other way.  At the least, postings by others of posters that caught their eye but that they do not own, may broaden my own collecting horizons to things I have not seen or considered before.

Idle thoughts and ruminations.
Best regards,

Holiday

Oh, and creating the Genres subforum wasn't a matter of agreeing or disagreeing with anyone.  It was a good idea.  As a result,  not only did I move the threads that chop started, but I moved about 10 other existing threads to the new one.  As a result, General Discussion is opened up. The pinned topics were crowing out the regular topics.  Now, there are more regular topics showing, and I think that tends to promote more discussion.  I don't know about you, but I don't go past the first page of threads on a board.  Once they get to page 2 and on, they are mostly in oblivion until someone is bored and goes digging to revive one.
Best regards,

Holiday

I think it depends.
If theres a thread, say, ADVANCES (which there is), the First post, could just spend a few hours and get an example of all the advance posters ever, and paste the URLS, and thats the end of the thread, maybe he misses one or two. But thats all. OR its more fun, to see what Advances we own.
 But of courseif it comes up, likre...

"Hey thats a great poster, I do prefer the style B, wish I had one"

"Oh didnt know there was a style B"

"Yes it looks like this"
(Post borrowed image here)

But a thread like werewolves, theres no  fun (IMHO) in posting random pics from other sources, I want to see werewolves that live in forum friends homes.

Peeepul....go to the Star Wars thread and start from the first post. Starting counting how many pictures were posted that weren't owned. When you get to 10 stop as there's no more need to discuss this.

theres a difference between discussing a particular thing, like starwars as there as so many releases, dates, countries, oddities, fakes, etc etc. But yes in reality, why not look at the SW poster site?

I posed this question once before because some posts did seem like "wow he has that, !baller!..."

My stance on this is:  

Only post what you own!

Unless a pic is needed to facilitate a discussion.

I'll have to agree with Raulleaf on this one.  My limited collection may not allow me to post picture on every genre topic, but it somehow seems misleading to post pictures that are not yours in one of these posts. In the least they should be stated as "not owned".

This thread has the potential of becoming the next APF World War.
I think that those with strong feelings should sit back, take a deep breath and re-consider their thoughts before their fingers hit the keyboard.
I consider APF members to be friends and -- while none of the tough veterans here need a white knight -- I take offense to the way they are being treated in this thread.

Yep. Thank you for this, Ted. Maybe these words will be considered...probably not though.

That's why I dropped all this shit into this off-topic forum.  No one needs to look here in order to enjoy the posters in the other threads.
