IMAGE RE-LINK CAMPAIGN 2011

Apparently, the fact that so many older images do not show up within the threads here on TC is affecting people's interest, attention span and desire to self-educate about Polynesian Pop and Tiki culture.

While I do not personally find any validity in these kinds of excuses (It's analogous to someone not wanting to read a book because it doesn't contain any pictures), what if we all come together and make a concerted effort to re-link or re-upload older images and flesh everything out once again? I'm sure we've all had "Aha!" moments--finally finding that "perfect" thread that has all the answers to our questions, only to find that all of the images are gone. At least if we brought the images back, it would give those new to Polynesian Pop history one less excuse to NOT educate themselves.

As part of an overall effort to revitalize the current state of TC in general, I humbly request that everyone take just a few minutes a day or even an hour or so on a weekend, call up one of your older threads or contributions, find the images on whatever storage media you might have and re-link or re-upload a few images. Even if everyone only managed do a couple, it would still end up being many, many more images than when the effort began.

As an added bonus, once the posts are edited to reflect the reinstated images, the corresponding threads will be bumped to the top and a whole new generation of members and lurkers will discover them for the first time!
