I guess I'm a bit guilty of this since I think I posted about 4 images in one day a few days ago. I'd like to apologise for that. I guess I was just excited. I didn't even intend to post more than that first couple of images but it got such good reactions from people I posted a couple more that same day.
I'll try to refrain from mass posting again. :)

i don't really have a problem with this.... people can do pretty much whatever they like as far as i'm concerned....
I did post a picture that i had worked on for the better part of an afternoon and it was pushed off in about an hour.... got a couple of comments, but i doubt if many people saw it..... does anybody remember "all bendy with angels".... thought not

i tend to agree, i mean, i dont think its a huge deal, and also i don't post much in the bsr, but i've posted enough to understand the frustration of posting something you've put work into, and having in gone a few hours later with maybe one or two comments. also, point of interest- dayve, not to undermine your point or anything, but actually i do remember that one, i liked it (when i look at the picture part of the bsr, and the last one down is new to me, i generally make a point of going through the archive for all the ones i've missed)

Just wanted to pop back in and say -- this isn't a blame thing. It's more a me being being a bit up-tight than anything. So, I'm sorry if this rant made anyone feel badly. That wasn't my intention.
I'd also like thank everyone for their responses. There are lots of things I had not considered before (such as limited internet access, etc). I'll be sure to remember this when I need to rationalize away the twinge of annoyance I feel when flooding happens (because, my pet peeve is still my pet peeve -- a tiger doesn't change its spots 
).
I'd like to offer a personal thank you to the people who have said they will refrain from posting seven hundred items in the Blue Sun Room in one day. Thanks! I find it to be really considerate.
That said, this thread was also not about trying to change people's behavior. It was just me ranting. So, if you see no problem with it, then go for it I guess...
Either way, it has been very cool to see what everyone has to say about this lil' issue, so thanks!

I like awareness threads.
I was once guilty of flooding... and sadly not that long ago. I realize now how selfish it is to (consciously or unconsciously) take up the whole front page.
As has been said earlier, I too, scroll back to the last item I'd seen. So I don't miss things. But I see the prestige of the most recent.
So. Yeh.

Since it just happened again, I thought I'd give this thread a bump.

Eeep! *looks guilty*
With me it's something of a net access issue. I don't have access to the net at home, so I pretty much have to save up a few items before I burn them to disk and post them.
It's becoming less of an issue now, and I'll stop multiple image posting in future. Sorry!

No shame to you! There is nothing wrong with posting couple at a time. Especially if the BSR has been slow lately. I for one have noticed the picture part has been crawling these last few days. The irritation comes when someone feels they have to post half a dozen at once and does so consistently.

DesktopHippie, I rarely see you post more than three at a time, and plus your animations are absolutely shiny! Okay, eight in a row would be a bit much (which is how it is when someone floods) but you do not flood so don't you go hanging that pretty flowered head in shame!
