Just thought I'd run an idea by you guys. Wondering whether you's'd think it a good idea to have a 'Sensual World Gallery' just to put a face to the name of all the regulars here. I could put one together but I'd totally understand if you's were against it. Let me know

That would be great. It would take me a while to come up with a digital picture of me at 21 ;D. Seriously, there is some value in mystery and anomyminity, as well. But of course it would be voluntary.

"Anonymity reveals our true character." I'm not quite sure how I feel about this. It's a good idea, and I have to admit, I did look at your picture Lori quite soon after I became a member. I do also think about what most of you look like. I wonder if it would change how we relate to one another if our pictures were posted? Well, as for me, the picture I chose for my profile does resemble me! So, isn't that all you'd need! Ha, ha ;D ;D Let's see what some others have to say...

I think it's a good idea. I'd be willing to give a pic. I think we probably would relate to each other a little differently once pictures are shown, just because we can actually see in our minds a definite picture of who we're typing to. I suppose I have vague images of what my mind thinks you all look like, so it would be interesting to see how woring my mind is. Interesting idea though Lori!

Seeing a picture of who you are communicating with can work one of two ways, either we catagorise that person based on our own preconceived ideas of how people with that image are; or it allows us to get to know them a little deeper. Remember, how we appear to the world is an aspect of who we are if only on the surface. Hiding our image as Al Truest says, does add to the mystique; look at Kate herself, limited shows to the world does make her more fascinating. Personally I would like to have a better idea of who I am relating to, after all it has been said "a picture tells a thousand words." ......And I would like to see if Al Truest looks as old as me!!!!!!!!

I think it would've changed our oppinions of each other if we saw pictures of each other when the board was first started up, but not now. We've all been here to long I think. Our thoughts of each other are probably engraved pretty deep now. Anyway, so is it a yay or a nay?

I say yay, as long as it's voluntary. Besides you guys are all beautiful, whatever you look like. BTW Lori, I had never noticed your gymnastics pictures, I'm impressed! You're a regular rubberband girl.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. It is a good idea and I will go along with it, however reluctantly...

Rubberband girl? I like that, hehe ;D Shiela, as AT said, it is completely voluntary... no pressure to send a pic if you don't want to.

By the way, if it is a 'yay', where would you's prefer me to put the link? At the header of the message board or just in a post or send it by a PM to you all?

When we decide to do this, I'll need to be taught how to get a photo to you. Yes, I know I am a dinosaur! Remember, even dinosaurs need to evolve.

On some other message boards, I've seen them put pictures of themselves in their 'avaters' (the picture to the left of all their posts). But I love seeing pics of Kates and dolphins etc... What do you mean by "At the header of the message board" Lori, is that at the top of the main page or something?

Yeah I know, only with me being a skinflint (hehe ) and this being a free board, it doesn't really accept many pictures and don't think it would accept a self uploaded picture, would probably just show as an empty box with a red 'x' in it. Like 'Rocket's Tail's', and it should be 'The Dreaming' cover ;D Yeah. Y'know where I have my website link, top 20 posters & links?

Ah I see. We'd get maximum exposure then! Is there any way of putting the pictures on the section of the message board called "Members"? It would be logical, but I don't know if it's a possibility. Anyway, we're probably getting ahead of ourselves
