[Mr. T]

How about starting a new series of speed pics? Any interest around?

[Sumaleth]

I dont think anyone actually finished the originall 500 topics.

Row.

[Mr. T]

Maybe continuing the original 500 pics?

[Anthony]

Allright then, I'm game. Someone dig up the old thread, start a new one with the same pics.

[lel]

I put the topics of the original "illu500" thread together in a list back then...
Some themes were a bit silly, and there were more than 500, so I edited out a few (duplicates etc).
I never got past #13 though, so I didn't have to worry much about it.

But thinking of masterpieces like #21, "kitchensink flooded with water" spoogestyle, OMFG, makes me wanna start all over again... (or quit forever, I don't remember which one :-)

Okay. How about picking 5 topics for the first round? I'd suggest: rocks(4), tv(7), a mountain with snow(17), cubes&spheres(29) and tool shed(197)

[Anthony]

Sounds good to me. I'll get them done this coming week.
