The idea of PAD seems to be losing favour. I note that in the PAD metagallery there are less than 50 pictures showing, representing those people that have uploaded a new picture to their own PAD gallery in the last 24 hours. Yet this PAD forum is full of threads and posts related to the challenges, but most of the 'challenge pictures' are not showing in either the PAD metagallery or people's individual PAD galleries. So it seems to me that Challenges and PAD are two separate things now.
Don't get me wrong, I am not against the challenges, but the sheer number of challenge threads here seems to be suffocating any discussion and posting about PAD. So I suggest that a new "Challenge" forum could be started to avoid confusion with the original intent of PAD.
What do others think?
I would also be interested to know how many people are actively keeping a PAD gallery. I know life gets in the way sometimes, and posting every single day can be difficult. But how many people manage a 90% plus PAD upload rate ?
