    are there going to be a sample calender so we see what photos are in it before buying the calender or will it be kinda a pot luck thing.

    The idea is is to raise funds for the site from what I understand.

    So if there are no EMUs you wont buy one....? I have submitted a photo but will stilll buy one even if it doesnt make the grade.

    what ever gave you that idea? I am not expecting my submissions to make it into the calender. Would be good if they did but I wont be stomping round if they dont.

    Just wondering we are going to get a preview, thats all.

    There hasn't ever been one in the past

    Yeah.
    I'll get 1 calendar but if as in last year I knew one of my photos was in it I'd get 5 or more again.

    And all those people whose photos didn't get in probably wouldn't buy any and then it wouldn't be viable

    I think there should be a preview, if it's a great calendar you will sell even more

    There's been a few people in the past that have said I'll buy xxx-amount if my pic is in there otherwise I won't buy any

    Or people may say, I've already seen the pics now I dont need to buy one

    No matter what way it is done it wont keep everyone happy, I'll be getting at one anyway regardless of whats in it simply to support the site

    That pretty much sums it up.

    I would imagine that if the pictures are so average (and I am not saying they are or arent average because I havent seen them) that looking at them in low res on a computer screen is enough that you dont want them hanging on the wall (ie, by buying the calender) then there should be better pictures selected.

    No, that's not what he's saying. The couple of times that I've been a Mod while the calendar process was run, the Waambulance calls because someone's photo wasn't in the calendar were overwhelming.

    It got nasty and personal too, and Joni had to wear all the flak for that. Quality isn't the issue.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
