Am I wrong in assuming that the purpose of the albums should be to display pre vs. post band weight loss?

When ppl post pictures of their families or a million pictures of themselves pre-band and no post-surgery stuff it's so irritating. It's a waste of time to open up an album only to see pictures of some stranger's family vacation or pet animal.

I really look forward to looking at progress pics in the weight loss thread and the albums. It gives me so much motivation. It is one of the reasons why I visit this forum so often. But when 10 albums in a row is non-weightloss photos...

I don't mind personal pics, but when they upload a million of the same type thing, that's excessive. And, the whole tattoo pic or several pics of your new haircut... I mean, it gets old. But to each his own. I just don't look at the pics anymore. I stick to the Before and After thread (although, that's turned into more words than pics- I thought it was supposed to be just pics)

Honestly, I don't think most people realize that their album pics can show up on the front page. Until recently that didn't happen.

But to the original poster -- the stuff in my albums are for me, and my buddies on the forum. Sometimes stuff gets thrown in there for use in the chat room or whatever. Sorry it doesn't meet your standards, but I'm afraid you'll just have to deal with it.

It's a public forum. It's not just for you and your buds. Duh. Regardless, this is the rants and raves forum. I get to vent.

And now there's a bunch of other nonsense pictures. Blah.
