graham but it was pics thread, so it is logical that there would be some pics.
The point isn't the fact that thread was off-topic, you guys were sticking to the topic like no thread the forum has seen before.
Also, it wasn't a case of "some" pics, the number of photos in that thread was huge, and whether you know it or not, server space isn't a free, abundant commodity. "The Internet" isn't floating around in space, every page and picture you have access to online has to be stored on a hard drive somewhere in the world. Now Martin has to pay for the server space and hosting of this website, and since he doesn't take donations and saves us the horror of hosting pop-up windows and ads to get some extra cash, it's simply not practical to have people constantly posting pictures that aren't exactly 'constructive'.
Sure, everyone has their own tastes, and nobody will object to anyone posting pictures from the latest match, but it gets a bit silly when the thread is being bombarded with pictures of the same player. Seriously now, how many different poses can a man have a photo taken in?

moreover no one have told us what was the problem. we could have delited some stuff which didn't concern tacchi directely. and one more thing there are other threads with pics, why they still are functioning and our thread was closed?
I don't know how many things you would have edited. It would've taken way too much trouble to go through dozens of pages of posts deleting pictures. The question is: would all the people who posted pictures in that thread really have gone through clicking the delete button on their posts?
As for other threads functioning, all of the player picture threads have been closed down as far as I know, and threads that exist only for the sake of mindless bombarding with photos don't last very long around here.
If you want a place where people can post hundreds of pictures, maybe the people who really want such a thing could all contribute some money to buy some webspace and create a joint account where you can upload to your hearts' content
