The Own3d Thread.(Keep it clean)

That reminds me of the Richard Scarry story from Busy, Busy World called South American Carnival where all the animals hop a plane to go to Carnival in Rio and the plane bursts its seems so the snake wraps itself around the plane to hold it together.

Wow, you just blew my mind. Flashback to age 5

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.

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.

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.

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.

This goofy statement alone shows how clueless you are about ES.

And this is the part where this thread gets merged into the OWN3D thread. :)
