I think people on forums will tend not to believe wild claims until you have proven yourself somewhat.
If my first post on MFK would have been some wild off the wall claim about creating one of the largest Amazon River displays in the world, the BS flag would have been waving all over the place - and rightfully so.

No doubt I totally concour with that as I myself have taken to task people with less than 10 posts who come on like a bag of hammers! But Zoodiver what if your first post had been that, and you then showed pics a few pages into the thread ?? Wouldn't that have been a kick.
Rather what I am speaking about is when people who are shall we say at least over 100 posts, start a thread or shall we say people who have much more than that (for I have 2 particular threads in mind) and the person who started the thread almost immediately gets barraged by the clarion parrot call repeated over and over "GOT PICS?" And when they don't immediately post up pics people begin to slam.
Is it not a bad representation for the eliteist "GOT PICS" to make a poster feel like a sham if they don't post up immediately.
The 2 threads I have in mind here, both the posters of the threads are busy. One with a validated company they do and the other for reasons posted. Would it not be better to be more polite and say looking forward to pics rather than outright demanding them and then berating when said pics don't appear immediately.
Personally when I first joined a forum which I won't mention, I was excited to find a bunch of fish nuts with passion about the hobby. So I began to share some of who and what I am only to be hit with a huge wave of "GOT PICS?" It was truly funny in some ways, but very sad in others. I have to bring up that at this particular time I did not even own a digital camera of any kind and 35ml film is hard to post to net.
What I am saying is rather than raining on other peoples parades, should we not shine a bit of sun. I would imagine it is pretty frustrating for people who are trying to share their heart and passion only to get poo pooed on. I know people will say suck it up this is the internet, but, I would rather see it as a new kind of community not a gladiator ring!
For me, I hunted down a digital camera that I could afford a sony sureshot and I took over 150 pictures and made a thread with over 100 pictures in it. Then I finally got a dslr camera which I presently use.
I have purposefully held back from posting some of what I will be doing for the exact reasons I make mention of above.
For one, I own a restaurant/catering company that has had some issue with business partners that I have had to take a can opener to and open a can of whoop butt on.
For two, I want to be able put the proverbial royal flush picture outlay down on the table when I pull off one of the two future projects.
Though I will say this if a poster puts up a thread and after a reasonable time of say 3 mths they don't come up with the goods, it would in my mind be a good time to get out the cattle prod of "Got Pics!!!"

the internet is worthless without pictures 
i have seen countless trolls and losers on internet forums braggin about what they have and never show proof. and even those that show of somebody's elses stuff. and not only on fish forums, every type of forum. so you cant blame us for being skeptical these days. if i dont see proof, i wont believe it.

I still want to see the guy's tank who posted in the overstocked tank thread that claimed to have something like 30 rtc's in a 55 with 3 FX5's on it.
If it takes Ashdavid a year to get a picture of his magical 'Rubrocellatus' Oscar, it'd better be worth the wait.
