Just based on the film, I'll guess Columbo.

The Lighthouse?

After Hours?

Nice. Thanks for the votes, and the trophy.

Dioretix by X. Rum Bubbah? Excellent.

I heard that actor Dom Ruse is crazy about that stuff.

Damn, Reiter. That was a nice post. Others made nice posts too, but that was a lot of text and it was time well spent to read.

And bicilotti for burning in the image of breakfast in bed from a bald, velvet-bathrobe-clad italian stallion into my head forever

I don't think this place is left wing at all.

Gotta disagree with this. Left wing is the norm in society, and this place is further left than that, ending up on the extreme left. An example would be against forum rules, but suffice it to say that if some people have convinced themselves that black is white, you'd be called a monster for disagreeing with them. This would be because you have offended someone and their sacred beliefs. Images are conjured up of people with extremely fragile psyches who would be harmed by someone disagreeing with them. And the statistics do seem to support this, but most of these fatal incidents happen on zebra crossings. (<-- That was a joke). Censorship and an intolerance for differing views characterises the extreme ideology.

Anyway, I don't think this is exactly the fragility that causes reduced forum participation. Others have correctly stated the main reasons: The forum itself is an older format (which is actually a good thing), the engine has gone from being one of few to one of many, it's for a niche genre. The reduced participation I have a problem with is when people I like stop posting. Some people I don't like have stopped posting for the same reason. They do this because of a very bad habit that people in the west have: When we encounter something that we really don't like, even if it's attached to something we really do like, our impulse is to throw up our hands in disgust and walk away. We do this with everything, and it has cost us the civility and prosperity of all of our countries, because we do not participate in our governments.

Take this advice from a South African whose nation's history clearly illustrates this lesson: Running away solves nothing. You can keep moving, you can trek across an ocean and then a continent in search of peace, but eventually they find you where you live and they claim that for England too.

Couldn't decide on something to make for this, so I went with an older idea I had for an avatar.

Cool backgrounds.

I've decided on one to make just now.

It looks like Johnny Depp, but this is what he looks like shooting a camera:

Je ne se pas!

Correct.

I really thought this would be easier.

Super cool.

I thought I could already download it, but then was disappointed.

Did you take a picture or is it made from what was there, plus memory?

I often wonder what the painters of old would say about a camera.

I've added the trophies to the original post.

That's beautiful, Creamy.

I had an idea, based on a mountain, because I need the practice. But then I had a much better--if challenging--idea for a background. So I will attempt that when I have some concurrent hours.

Nein.

Non.
