    It's just a matter of time before something similar to the Photobucket debacle
    happens again. Just one of the multiple free picture hosting services stops,
    or charges a fee, and we lose a lot of valuable info again.

    I managed a website for GS enthousiasts before, and there are a
    huge number of useless threads there now without the
    pictures that helpful answers rely on.

    just my 2 cents ..

      Voting for Rich, his "Double Tank" shot is cool.
      sigpic2002 KLR650 Ugly but fun!
      2001 KLR650 too pretty to get dirty

      Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

          EDIT: Looking back through the posts, I don't see it there, either.
          I know it got posted, I helped her post it.

          Oh, well, it probably would not have gathered any interest, let alone votes, anyway.

          SECOND EDIT: Found the problem. PhotoBucket is down.

                  My vote is for Rich. I like the composition, the framing, the coloring and the sharp focus as well as its creativity with the "tank" theme. The lightest and heaviest of powered vehicles, the one in front of the other. And the operators of both wear a helmet.

                  If vote was for most stunning it would be NuggetsDad's Katorama for sure.
                  ...
                  Believe in truth. To abandon fact is to abandon freedom.

                      Nuggetsdad's row of Kats gets my vote.

                        Saturday! Here is my count:

                        One vote each, Sandy, Mr. G, Burque73, and Baatfam
                        Three votes for Rich and his tanks...

                        And with 7 total votes, nuggetsdad for the clear win...
                        What will be our holiday theme, mr. dad?

                          And I just wanted to say sorry to Trevor and Mrs. Steve.
                          Neither of you got a fair shot this week.

                            Would my observation be correct?
                            THe previous week Mr Nuggestdad posted a couple pictures (seemily not matching the theme) andhe said something like he was just practicing/learning how to post pictures. And this week he post a pic, and is the winner by a vast amount.
                            Is this the first occassion of of a relative newcommer, posting first picture of the game, and is the winner?

                            I think so.

                            Congratulations Mr Nuggestsdad.
                            What do you have for us this comming week....?
                            Note: IT is important to state the theme-category, not just provide a sample picture.

                              Killramsey won the April 20 2019 contest with his first entry. The theme was "Spring" and his photo was apple tree blossoms.
                              It was not a landslide, though -- he was either neck-and-neck or maybe even tied with a Mr. Redman, whose entry was daffodils.
                              His join date to GSR was April 3, 2019.
                              So there is precedent

                                And, now I see, his last post was about two weeks later.
