Im going to just say it, What the hell is with everyone posting their pictures? Its become a joke with the pictures. (this isnt singling anyone out...its been going on for awhile now) Its so superficial that I dont even want to post here half the time. Everyone finds an excuse to post a picture in the name of ASTROLOGY. This isnt what Astrology is about. I tried to be "okay" with it but more and more, I just see people coming here to strike a pose.

ehhh thats how things are nowadays though. we have facebook and twitter or tumblr and now even instagram. everyone's taking pictures. i know i like the threads only because im nosy and want to see what everyone looks like so i don't mind it much theres still plenty of other threads that are more astrology related. but its not like the pic threads aren't ya know? it adds another dimension i suppose to post a photo and actually 'see' how a sign or aspect might manifest in physical form. also nice pic choice! haha IP: Logged |

That's fine.. But it doesn't need to be in the ASTROLOGY FORUM.

Many astrologers believe that certain placements in someone's chart creates certain traits/features in there face/body. So it's really interesting to actually see people, and there charts realizing how accurate many of those beliefs hold to be true. Overall do us a favor if you don't like it, Ignore it. It's really not a big deal Thanks

Yeah okay..do you have a better excuse than that for the superficial BS on here? I know theres a correlation with looks/astrology but people dont do it for ASTROLOGY. Im tired of it. Randall, This is a decent forum most of the time, but other times, theres rooms for improvement. Maybe make a forum for the superficial dribble people try to excuse for astrology? How the hell does anyone ignore the CHAGILLION threads with POST YOUR PIC AND ASTRO INFO!?????????????????? Its so constant. Im sure is scares away a lot of great Astrologers or people who just want to talk about Astrology. Seriously, someone justify this..Because the excuses are a dry well to me. *STRIKE A POSE* Please.

I don't know, maybe its my virgo sun and leo moon taking this more personally than I should...I kind of don't see the point of saying "I'm not singling out anyone" and then later on saying "everyone finds a excuse to post a picture in the name of astrology" considering two threads were just made where members posted pictures of themselves with their sun/moon signs and aspects. I mean honestly why post this then if you didn't want some kind of "drama" or maybe you want someone to chime in and agree so you could just talk about how superficial things are and whatever else. Thats like saying "I don't mean to offend you but..." Right before you offend someone. No one actually made you look at the posts and even so its not like its harming you mentally, physically, and emotionally nor is it really stopping you from learning astrology right? But we all have our opinions.. IP: Logged |

Birdy There are many threads for you to partake of. If people want to show their pictures, that is cool. People can guess Moons and ASC's. This is a small fraction of the threads. Look at the others.------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/

I suggest you personally email Randall if it's that big of a problem for you. Maybe a personal forum is a good idea... but I still think your Over exaggerating. Btw, this thread isn't really about Astrology either now is it? hmm.IP: Logged |

Wrong. I havent posted in awhile. I try to ignore it. I end up leaving this place for awhile..I come back and its the same SH____. I like this place, but the superficiality is beyond me. I cant keep up with it. I find myself coming here way less and wanting to contribute way less. If It was about making "drama", then I would of said something a long time ago. I like this place but the sh_____ drives me nuts and makes me not want to come here. Its my honest opinion that seriously minded ASTROLOGY folks will agree.

Another thing- Im not singling anyone out because its been going on forever...and ever..and ever..and Im not singling anyone out because their threads arent that unique. Theyre recycling the same "topics". IP: Logged |

Let me take that back, because to me it is about astrology. Like I said I think it's interesting when people match there faces to the placements in there charts. If some people are doing it to be superficial... so? Pictures or not, some threads are still superficial when they talk about how amazing there signs are vs. how bad other ones are. Still, idc and No, what's annoying is that your taking something like a thread you can easily ignore/scroll passed to heart. IP: Logged |

I was talking about my thread...but okay.. It is annoying. It isnt easy to ignore. Its obvious half these people in here dont give 2 sh____ about ASTROLOGY and just want to post a PICTURE. This is why ASTRO.com is probably the top forum for Astrology and this place isnt because they dont allow this type of silly BS topics.

So was I in the second paragraph. Again, maybe you should email Randall about it because making a personal fourm for everyone who wants to post pics of themselves isn't a bad idea, wouldn't bother me one bit. But my advice is don't take it to heart IP: Logged |

I still don't see the purpose of this post being truly positive towards some of the people in this forum. And sorry but again I just don't see why if it affects you so much, why couldn't you just have emailed randall rather than making this post? Plus, I'm also sure that someone truly interested in astrology wouldn't let something again so small make them less interested. If that were the case there probably wouldn't be anyone on this site...

It seems to me people really interested in ASTROLOGY dont post here anymore, arent interested in posting here, or dont contribute here that much anymore because of the BS. IP: Logged |

Even on the astro.com forum people have the option of posting their pic as a part of their user name/profile to be seen with every post they write... Which many people do. That isn't an option here (which maybe it would be a good suggestion) so if people want to put a face to the names we interact with picture threads become useful... And there are forums on LL for socializing or talking about non astrology related topics such as Lindaland Central and Hearth and Home, but guessing people's ascendants and matching physical traits to a chart is related to astrology even if you might see it as superficial... If anything I think the numerous forums on LL made to allow people to get to know each other and share personal things/problems is what allows people here to make connections in ways you cant as easily on astro.com They are different, and good and bad in different ways, if you don't like one or the other there's nothing wrong with that it's just a personal choice where you choose to post or not post...

Im only going to repeat it one more time. No disrespect intended. Majority of people here do not give a f======= about Astrology. This has become the cr@ppy horoscope section of the newspaper. Its insulting to the beauty of Astrology. Its a dumbing down of the potential of great conversations. There has to be a change here...HAS TO BE...the superficial POST A PIC pages are insane, tiring, and a joke. Ive wanted to recommend this place in the past to some amazing people I consider Astrologers, but I cant...I just cant because of certain topics. IP: Logged |

Ok lol I don't really see how what you just said isn't disrespectful or insulting to the people here but my point was just that if you find it to be so dumbed down and "crappy" there's no reason to even post here let alone contribute to the "superficial BS"IP: Logged |
