I see "SOOC" a lot, is that a good camera?
I used to take a lot of photos of my feet on Instagram, is that okay here?
Am I allowed to edit my photos, or is it considered cheating?
I don't understand film, but I want to learn so I can have black and white photos.

Aaron - I asked Quora and found the following regarding your quest for knowledge:
Someone made a survey about crumple versus fold for TP (people do that these days). You can find it at http://www.monzy.com/survey/surv.... The results show that 1/3 crumples and 2/3 folds.
I just realized I have my gps turned on in my phone so now I'm skeered and sure that someone in another country far far from here is stalking me so I'm leaving
I'm ill right now, or, I'm better now posts - if you have 30 followers and there's 80,000 people on the site then use your own project page for that shit. Especially - I'm sorry to my followers for the mass upload. wtf. Your followers couldn't care less, think how little I care, I don't follow you.
Especially hey, I'm 12 and I'm gonna be a pro photographer, what should I charge?
Can I make a book of my 365 album?
How much should I charge for a wedding shoot (or similar gathering of family types)?
What lens is best for aforementioned shoot?
@jodimuli Think of it this way... they will probably continue stalking you whether you delete your account or not... so you might as well stay on here... =D hahahhahaha and loveeeeee the picture you posted :) hehe :)
Thing is though, if the only thing that is **allowed** to be posted are things that no one has ever mentioned before, the site will get very boring very quickly.
I've found a lot of good information by searching through older posts, but that doesn't always work since people leave and the pictures are not always there. Plus responding to a zombie post doesn't really generate a lot of conversation.
It might help to implement a newby area on here. I belong to a running website and we have a beginner area just to keep them all in one place. I go in there from time to time but that way if I don't feel like dealing with the equivalent, "what kind of shoes do I need", "can I train on a treadmill and then do a marathon in 8 weeks" type of stuff I don't have to go in there.
@aponi I agree. The site is wonderful but very overwhelming for newbies or anyone who doesn't already have a strong on-line presence to know how to navigate a site/forum. Still there will be those repeat questions asked no matter what because people simply want to connect and want feedback, because this makes them feel good about themselves...a lot of humanity needs this.
some Europeans may feel left out of this conversation, since they may be using a bidet, in which case wondering if editing their photos is cheating is a moot point.
The best ones are "please follow me because I have no friends", "i'm leaving because someone said they didn't like my photo", and "please vote for me"...
@jsw0109 just to let you all know being a European I don't feel left out of the conversation. We get care packages from the US containing :toilet paper and an instruction manual how to use it. So the crumple and fold bit here depends on who ever sends the parcel.
I think the answer to the crumple or fold discusssion all depends on the toilet paper : is it SOOC, has it DOF and is the POV ok, then the crumple and fold question answers itself
Lucky I didn't read this before leaving the office for the Court room or I would have been laughing all through the stuff that is not meant to be laughed at. Thanks for a good chuckle. :)
So many life-changing questions here... where to begin...
Crumper. @btorrey you are quite right - this question is vital. And the correct answer is OVER.
Also I'm just wondering, I can't be bothered doing research so can people answer my questions for me?
And what would you suggest as the best way to trick/manipulate people into looking at my pictures and commenting/following/fav-ing?
And is there a points system - i.e. what is better, a comment, a follow, or a fav?
And will you comment/follow/fav me? Please? If not I just may kill some cute puppies and kittens...
Have I mentioned I'm ill/sad? Please comment. Or I may get iller/sadder.
And check me out on facebook/flickr/myspace/twitter. And follow/comment/fav/like me.
@aponi@kazlamont Thank you both for your kind perspectives. Overall, this site is quite approachable and welcoming to newcomers, and many of us who are new appreciate that. There is little worse than trying to learn a new, time-consuming hobby only to be ridiculed and mocked by those with the most knowledge and experience.
Well, poo, why didn't I think of this topic? (Actually, I'm glad I have never started a discussion!) But maybe Jeff has come up with the next mundane challenge.
@grizzlysghost Which ever works for you. How about this for a topic...I would like to follow you, but I keep losing all of my fellow Montanans, so I'm afraid to.
A man walks into a supermarket and ask the attendant what kind of toilet paper they have for sale. The attendant shows him three brands. The first brand is worth $5.95 for two rolls and is soft as a baby's behind.
The second brand costs $4.50 for two rolls and is soft as a bunny's tail.
The third brand is a no name brand and is worth .95 cents for two rolls.
The man asks what is no name toilet paper? The attendant explains that it is a generic brand of toilet paper.
Well the man buys the no name toilet paper and leaves. The next day he returns to the store and finds the attendant and says to him "I have a name for your no name toilet." The attendant replies, "And what might that be?". The man said "You should call it John Wayne toilet paper!" the attendant asks, "Why John Wayne toilet paper?" The man answers "Because It's rough, it's tough, and it doesn't take crap off of anybody".
I have found this site fasinating. I started off adding posts as mentioned by @grizzlysghost. But realised how much this offends the "none newbies" and stopped. It took me a good month to realise how the mechanics of the site work and have found that following people whos work I like, commenting and faving is the foundation of this site. I did not actualy follow or comment on anyone for my first month. It definatly is true that everyone was a begginer once.
Never seen any rules saying you cannot post this stuff or that there was topic police! BTW how does the PP work again?
But back to the subject fold! I think if the site introduces a new "newbie" area then the whole site should be split in to two. "folders" and "crumplers". The thought of commenting on a "crumplers" photo fills me with fear!
I think you are all dodging the real question here which is: 'how many sheets?'
Conventional wisdom says three – one up, one down and one to polish!
As for the ‘Phood Fotos!! What is the best setting?’ – allow me to have a go at that one. I tend to use gas mark 4 for 1/125th (that's 180C or 350F in old money). Clearly, settings may need adjusting if you are using a fan assisted camera. Obvious, but worth mentioning.
@grizzlysghost as they said in the Last of the Knucklemen - if you don't eat you don't shit, and if you don't shot you die. Thank goodness for the black bits...
@iii woah! that is not nearly enough sheets! when i was little my mom said one square for the front and one for the back... that is way not enough anymore!
@tammeray i have heard of this legendary 3-ply... is it worth it?
Lol lol rolled around my hand. Under over couldn't careless as long as there's toilet paper there. Which is always a gamble in a house of 3 boys. Now, is there cake?
@grizzlysghost I don't know...Jack and Jake both disappeared. But you guys up north get the best pic's. The real problem is that I'm kind of stuck pretty close to home at this time...oh well, you can show me all that I am missing.
Tweets ahoy!

Are there really magic monkeys?
What about cake?
No.

Enjoy!
Bahahhahahahha!!!!!! Totally laughing out loud!!!
This is totally what I needed to read to start my day! :) Thanks Aaron!
Ohh and I'm a crumpler/folder mixed together...It's a mad science :)
@grizzlysghost
Oh, and my brother and I decided we wind :')

How much should I charge for a wedding shoot (or similar gathering of family types)?
What lens is best for aforementioned shoot?
Scrunch (I never realised I was in a minority!)
My personal favorite is "How do I get more comments?"
I would also really like to know what came first, the chicken or the egg?
Fold. Everyone who is not folding is mental. And surely unhygienic. Or at least wasting the planet's precious toilet paper resources.
Do you know, I don't know whether I fold or crumple - maybe it changes depending on my mood
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA :) Laughing so hard... :)
heheheh I like crumper :) Yes... that's what I am! CRUMPER!~ :)
And now I won't need to do either because I am laughing my ass off at all of you.....
Thanks!
combo wind/crumple
And it's a moot point for @cdonohoue because she has no a@@ to wipe.

But can I still add to the discussion because I was gone all day....
Or is it a moot point already.....
Oh dear, maybe I should fold......
The best ones are "please follow me because I have no friends", "i'm leaving because someone said they didn't like my photo", and "please vote for me"...
How do I get more followers!
FFS!

anyone have any good photo ideas to share?

Btw, I have mentioned my wet TP situation thanks to Arwen, right? Whole other discussion thread.
So: FOLD
And now a special gift for you all because I love you:
Reminds me of a joke.
What do toilet paper and the Starship Enterprise have in common?
They circle Uranus looking for Klingons.
The second brand costs $4.50 for two rolls and is soft as a bunny's tail.
The third brand is a no name brand and is worth .95 cents for two rolls.
The man asks what is no name toilet paper? The attendant explains that it is a generic brand of toilet paper.
Well the man buys the no name toilet paper and leaves. The next day he returns to the store and finds the attendant and says to him "I have a name for your no name toilet." The attendant replies, "And what might that be?". The man said "You should call it John Wayne toilet paper!" the attendant asks, "Why John Wayne toilet paper?"

btw fold and shower!

(I don't crumple, fold or wind. I make little TP fans and swans with my extraordinary amount of spare time). =P

Fold - totally agree with Mek.
Fold / under / 2-ply / recycled.
