Yeah I remember BMM - think he was not the only one but he caught the brunt of the anger from some members. Everyone should have been friendly,placid, and calm just like me :) Come on Rodeo, after his election you said Obama would change the world and I said he would be a real let down, I think I this occasion I can claim the spoils by some margin - the site would be better some for some of those old tantrums again - alas most of the fiery ones have left.......VF
Ps has anyone else seen that new folding MF camera from Lomography?
Pss Why can't I find the movie section to load up some new Super 8mm stuff????

have you ever read the wikipedia page about Polanoid ? Funny (and pretty well informed) inside look at our beloved place... and memories of some famous fights in the newsfeed. Does someone here remember BMM ?

i think that already exists, frederic. i've seen that on the net somewhere : "make your pics look like they are polaroid"
well, there are already people on this site who do this (isn't it, mr ex-BMM ) and it's just shit. the great thing with instant film - and I'd say even more with sx70 or 600 film - is that the picture is also an unique object.

... and well, I think it's a bit sad that no one at Polanoid headquarters or Unsaleable is talking to us orphans, for of course they know much more than we do.

loosetooth, be carefull with ebay love declarations, or you may be hit by an anti-BMM scud....

zveliakine & valley forge :

instead of BMM, you can say lesyeuxtriste,
his actual pseudo. ;-) but maybe there's a new one since few days ( or 15 new ones ) ...

Pear, i will miss our little spats and your pictures, mathew kern - I can't belive you left over your spat with BC, very immature and I think probably only proves BC right. boques - or is it BMM -post some pictures or shut the -uck up.

sikost : read Bcharlotte answers to what he said and just erased. Mostly, he was saying that the only way to get as many SOTD as he could was to re-upload and re-re-upload pictures until they make it SOTD... and indeed he succeeded : he had 9 in a very short time. His post was quite ambiguous, we made a response, then he was using some kind of insults... (diid not understand everything cause it was in US slang... ) and then he went away... the whole thing lasted less than an hour... very very strange. As I told just below : it made me think of that tragic BMM. Do not know if it's relevant or not.

very strange how Matthew kern and pear completly disapear.
Matthew kern after the arguing of yesterday night (and he also took away all of his weird newsfeed content wich was the cause of the arguing...) This reminds me of BMM attitude... strongly looking for SOTD... coming back under new names... very very strange... I thought removing a complete profile could not be done without WM's help...

PS : just while I was writing ths, Pear posted the news below... ;-)
We will miss you, Mr Pear ;-( But... Glad to see there is no link with Kern departure

PPS : that strange message from a today's new anonymous member below Pear again makes me think of you-know-who.... Childish behaviour, dramatic poetry... This place is meant for fun, for Christ sake !

well, why not, Lia and BC and Arne... let's just hope we will not be overflown by no-me-pola new members using the site as an advertising page for ebay or other ways to make easy money out of our common passion, honnestly or not (remember BMM, the one who said "ebay is god" !!!!!..). Everyone here who is a true participating member has a network of friends to exchange, sale or buy with if he wants to.

holy shit ! That BMM rides again ?

WM : I'm sure you can find a way so that there is no more fake profiles here. This is as boring as profile zero fake auctions on ebay.
Maybe there should be an obligation to have permanently at least, lets say 10 pics public, or even more, to be able to vote and leave comments ?
