Is it me or has the PP come to a stand still? Is everyone on vacation? I love looking at all pics and especially love the Popular Page but I've now seen every pic there is on there for the past 3 days......!! Just wondered.
I don't have a problem with it right now because I finally made the PP after a long dry spell. ;) Seriously, though, there are some (including mine) that have been on it longer than usual.
I love the Magic Monkeys for their hard work but Pop Page turnover does seem to have been slow for a while now for some reason. Perhaps they need more bananas!!
This has been my biggest complaint about the PP lately. Not that I'd really complain, but I had noticed that some pics seem to linger for a long time. Given the number of threads from folks wondering how to get onto the PP it'd be nice if those coveted positions were freed up so more people get the chance to be on there. As a frequent visitor to the PP I get bored seeing the same shots on there for more than a day. That said, everyone's entitled to a vacation now and then, even monkeys.
The PP has had me boggled for a while now. I had been on and off it several times the first few months. I haven't done anything different and yet I still never seem to get on there anymore. I had one photo on the PP with only 1 Fave which made no sense either, seeing that usually it took me several FAVES to get there. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought people made it according to how many faves they had. That's what it seemed.
I too noticed that some photos stay on there much longer than others. It's strange. To me the fun of making it the PP has lost it's flair since there's no consistency. Kind of sad....What fun is it to 'win' (for lack of a better word) if there's no true known goal to reach in order to get on the PP? It's so random. Not to knock some photos, but I scratch my head at some that make it there. Most are truly spectacular, but others? Who knows.

maybe we should have another theme for August like Save the photo monkeys. We could all do pictures of banannas as another member die and tag them "save our photo monkeys ;)" just saying.
@andrebarrande - Congrats on getting on there!!! Yeah, I've been on there a few times (there's one on there now) and sometimes they're on for days, then next time, they disappear after what seems like 10 mins!
LOL..love your idea Pam! Undecided if the Monkeys are mad at us or on vacation or?? I am always amazed at how thrilled I am if I ever get on the PP...even if it is for 15 seconds! I love looking at the photos on PP as I am truly impressed with all the talent on this 365 project.
Vowed never to post again on this subject because aim totally frustrated by the arcane algorithms of the Magic Monkeys, but I can not restain myself any longer. I had a picture that was viewed over 250 times http://365project.org/allie912/365/2011-06-19
And it never made the popular page. Maybe you can figure it out; I sure can't. To avoid daily aggravation, I rarely visit that page any more. I do think if the images changed a
Every few hours, it would be moe entertaining and give more people a chance.
@allie912 - I totally agree with you re the change-over time. I think maybe a day is fine to make sure all time-zones around the world get to see them but then, to give others a chance, they should be switched. I'm sorry you've been so frustrated by this. I just checked your pic out and it's really cool! As is the commentary!
