Some of the names are the same, but some aren’t.

Was there ever an “official” place to post our pictures?

Would you endorse that one?

If not, could we get an official one?

This looks like something Opal put together.

(She’s often done nice things like this, as a friend to the Straight Dope. Opal’s 3F empire is an adjunct to the SD but is operated by Opal.)

There’s no “official” place to post pictures and I don’t see us getting one any time soon; it’s taking all we got to keep this site going as is. Sorry.

Hi **Soupy** ,

If you want to post a picture you could [ask **OpalCat**](http://fff.fathom.org/cgi-bin/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=Front+Desk&number=12&DaysPrune=1000&LastLogin=).

She posted my picture and maybe 40 others, but I’ve lost the link. The one I saved says it’s not available.

I’ve sort of lost track of her project.  
**[SDMB MEN!!!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=24688)**

But when I push the link I get “HTTP Error 404. 404 Not Found”

I know she said it was overwhelming just to get all the picures downloaded, as they are often sent straight as received from Kodak, huge and hi-res.

I think techchick took down the pages after Wally’s death. I suspect that given the fairly emotionally sensitive state of the boards recently she didn’t feel it was appropriate.

Shayna’s taken over from techchick… [The thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=29873) is over in MPSIMS.

That’s a good idea to have pictures.

We should all do it.

I have a picture on my school’s site I can email, I think.
