Soo....I’m an “immoral person” for watching my favorite NFL team on tv? LOL that’s laughable. I’m not going to just not watch my favorite team play games just because the owner is a piece of ****. Sorry. I think it’s a horrible take to say anyone who watches on tv is an “immoral person”. It’s possible to cheer for the players on the field while also thinking the owner is a horrible man. 
 

 

I get you.  I love my country, but I don't think highly our president.  I still root for our greatness.

 

The struggle I'm having is the part where I remember this is entertainment.  I'm directly supporting a monster, for entertainment.  I don't judge anyone for *not* having that struggle, and I bet there's a part of you that *is* having that struggle.  Dwayne Haskins throwing a touchdown has little to do with Dan Snyder's personal sins.  I'm still trying to find a way to support this team, but Snyder is making it extremely difficult for me.

I am a fan.  Not much can change that.  When an owner is this repugnant of a person, it is now getting to the point where I may have to change that.  That's why I think the NFL might actually do something this time.  If *I* am nearly willing to call it quits, then maybe the NFL will be as well.  This is disgusting.

My question is, why are the Redskins targeting "special teamers only" in the 3rd round.  You should still be targeting guys that you feel will be a solid starter for you eventually, not just someone who is going to play special teams.  If you didn't think he was much of a wr, you shouldn't be taking him that early.

 

Needless to say, looks like the Redskins backed their way into making a solid pick.  Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in awhile.  

They said he was the top special teamer on their board.  ST is also really underrated.

Why would you want to move the owned thread?

I wouldn't want to move it. I would want to take its content and make a slick website out of it. And in fact, *I* would not want to do that part, either. That's why I started this thread.

I think it'd be easier to understand why this is a good idea if you could see the pictures randomized, the way I'm looking at them. It's incredible.

It already is:

Nobody has the quality and cleanliness of the own3d thread. www.randompics.net is *close* to what I want to visit, but again the quality of images is not as high. Honestly, all I want is randompics.net but with better pictures and a rating system. Maybe I should just tell them to use the own3d thread's images instead of their crappy collection...

Would there be ES like rules on there? Nothing extremely inappropriate, but there is SO much funny out there with curse words that can't be posted on here.....

I can't stress this enough: I don't want to build or maintain this website. I just want to give somebody my 4GB of pictures so I can look at a hilarious website.

That being said, the ES rules are a big part of what makes the own3d thread so good. I'd hate to see that part taken out.

Also, it'd be cool if it could be hosted by extremeskins.com. It could be extremeskins.com/own3d.html or something. Then maybe the mods could get some ad revenue or something for their work.

Another thing - there should be a comments section for each picture.

Would we get paid for our services good sir?

I don't care if you take the images and make a money-generating website with ads or something. *I* will not be paying anybody. My part in this would be the idea and giving somebody the images that I scraped. I just want to visit this website that exists in my head, so I can view others' comments about specific images and have a great time rating pictures.

So I LOVE the OWN3D thread. It's way funnier than other image websites, because a ton of people have spent tons of time uploading tons of great images to try to top one another. It's also way cleaner than other image websites, because we've got mods who did a good job keeping out the garbage.

Since the quality of the content is so high, I started out with aspirations to scrape the image locations off the thread and make a web page. I wrote some code to go through the thread and download images. I now have about 15,000 pictures, totalling about 4 gigabytes. I can't tell you how incredible it is to randomly look through these images, most of which are awesome.

Then I decided I want to work on something else instead. That's where you come in, nerd that's reading this! One of the hardest parts is done now! Who's got skillz and wants to help? I think it'd be amazing to have a hotornot.com rating scale (back when you could rate people from 1 to 10). Then, you could weed out the lame images that get poor ratings. Plus, it's fun to rate pictures.
