System Pics 2020

Perhaps it’s time to change the rules of this thread, and allow people to freely comment and discuss, of course in the borderline of the thread.
We could also merge pictures and videos, and start something new and more positive.

Cook Islands is behind GMT.

Kiribati and a few other island nations are 1 hour ahead of NZ but they just did that so they could be first in 2000. The cheats! It was ours to claim and dammit we’re the first to see the new year light!

Yep, you need to be up pretty early. I’d suggest 1 minute past midnight (your time). I’ll follow if I’m capable. We’ve all had a year we’d like to forget.

You’re overthinking it. When you wake up on New year’s day, just start the thread whenever you happen to log into the forum.

If someone else is waiting with white knuckles at 1 minutes past midnight in any timezone, then they can take a chill pill. :smiley:

My personal view on that. I’d rather not, I’d prefer System Pics to have system pictures, then related discussion briefly, followed by people coming back to pictures. We have a whole forum for discussing anything we like. So for me, gentle teasing, flippant comments, comments on socks, questions about systems, all good and fun, but if we don’t come back to the topic it’s just another Padded Cell thread, and even they stay on subject pretty well. Why not have a thread for pictures of people’s systems and related discussion that stays on topic for those of us who like it?

It’s the reason why I wrote “ in the borderline of the thread”. Discussions relative to the systems shown, and some jokes on socks or something else sometimes.
But it’s impossible to post only pics, we are not enough here, maybe 100 regulars.
We all would prefer to see only systems. But personally, my point of view, I am not particularly interested to see always the same copy cats systems pics with Fraims and Naim black boxes. I find it boring.
I am more interested to see something new.

Yes but there’s a fine line between thread drift and endless copy and paste.

Perhaps the difficulty of this thread…

I go to others forums hopefully sometimes. To see non Naim systems and other points of view. It gives me some fresh air.
But this forum is my favourite. However, the others I visit have also “ systems pics “ threads. People are happy to share or ask and help others
But I never read, as here, “ back to the topic please”.

It’d be nice see photos of other people’s stuff (friends, family etc), photos we have a connection with.

You go to other fora for some fresh air.
You find a thread consisting of Naim systems boring.
You don’t like being moderated.

But

This is your favourite forum

and yet

You want to change it.

Yep, but in the Padded Cell though.

Well I guess that’ll be up to the new OP. There’s always going to be some disagreement and some who’ll never be happy.
