Picspam, the alpha and the omega

[sigma7]

Face it, you knew today was coming.

First the good news: the picspam archives have been cleansed completely of hotlinks. Peruse them freely and unafraid. A good chunk of the pics have gone missing in the subsequent months (and years) since their original posts, but those at least should resolve themselves quickly now. Still, you might want to take advantage of this opportunity while it presents itself.


This is where the picspam train ends. I know, not that it's been all that regular a feature lately, but the LJ feed is rife with porn spam to the point where it's almost not usable anymore, and then there's the deluge of impenetrable Russian posts I just can't make heads nor tails of. Add to this the fact that on a burnout scale from one to ten I'm weighing in at about eleventy billion and that poking through the archives reminds me how the reward-to-annoyance ratio with regards to picspam has been more disproportionate than I choose to remember from time to time and I feel content referring to picspam in past-tense.

Maybe I need to reevaluate, un-LJ the picspam process altogether, but for now, we'll just say it's over as we know it. Still, we'll always have ground horse.

I will miss the picspam.

In my opinion, the soccer .gif should have been last.

Bon voyage, mon picspame.

I believe in the power of the luck of the draw. Barack Stardust just hit the nail right on the head, I think.

Today's installment may've been sparse, but it's one of my all-time favorites.

I will definitely miss the picspam, it brought smiles once in a while!

R.I.P. picspam.

Can never have anything fun for too long, without somebody spoiling it for the rest of us, but cheers for making the effort one last time sigma! What you share with us is always a treat. Cheers!

I'll miss picspam so much! Oh well, burn out > fade away, I guess.

Oh. I really like that billboard church sign thing.
