All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Sorry you're upset, but I think the picture you posted showed her to be WAY younger than she looks now. And I'm surprised there is no official rule b'cse I remember this being talked about before - perhaps during the Christina applegate posting or even before. I don't have the time to go look back, but I couldn't sworn it was talked about.
See my above post...
I'm not upset... Just saying, it's never been an issue before, so why is it a big deal now? Especially since there is no concrete proof... All's there is is "she looks younger."
I'm sure that HE cares, though... He's the one volunteering the time to run the game. It's kind of petty to be *****ing and wanting him to change a chunk of the cards at the drop of a hat.
As far as "That IS the rule," prior to today, when has the picture EVER been brought up, or denied?
The ONLY time I can think was on Pamela Anderson. But, that auction was run with that rule in place. No auction before, or none since have been.

He might care, but he did say quite a bit ago no old cards. It's also one of the reasons I sold Parker. While still attractive, I don't think time has been as kind to her.
I agree 100%. If some pics were used that were old, and you (or anybody else) know that for sure, it should be pointed out. Ideally, you should have done this at that time, but even so...they should be retroactively changed - as it is not fair to use an old picture at one point and not another.
I like that first pic you just posted better anyway.
That's not the issue...
The issue is, people are *****ing about a pic I selected, with no real proof besides "she doesn't look as old," where I have now proven three cards are well outside the "window," but were allowed to be used with not one person complaining.
If you want to make a rule now, fine. But my first pic today should be grandfathered in, along with the others cards beforehand, as nobody had an issue with any pic beforehand.

The big difference is that in your picture she looks 100 yrs younger. That's why it was brought up. It's a huge difference.
In mine, just as an example, you can't really see the difference - though quite frankly the 2nd picture Bedard had posted shows more skin - so I have no problem changing it.
New Rule,
You have to pick one of the 3 pics that the king post, when the new game starts.
That will end all the trouble.
The reason why this didn't work well, is because some of the pics he chose weren't appealing. Plus, some just wouldn't work. Yesterday's two didn't work at work and one didn't work at home.

"Looks younger" is all the proof you have. Also, to reiterate, there was no rule set in place, so the point of an older pic should be moot.
Of course you have no problem changing it... because you won't be the one that has to change all of the cards... It's on somone else's watch (Bedard's) so, of course, you don't have an issue with it.

Or, people could just grow up and let the winner of the card decide which pic to use... You know, like has been the case for the first 100-pus cards...

You seem to agree on not using older pictures beforehand:
From the Christina Aguilera thread:

How old can pictures be? That above picture doesn't look like a recent one. If they can be older, then a younger Christina Applegate should have been used and the same could go for alot of contestants. I kinda thought that we were bidding & later judging on people as they are now - not at the peak of their "hotness". If so, then that changes things...

Yea mystic I have been trying to stick with modern pictures since we're bidding on them modern day, but by opening this up to picture selections its definitely conflicting.
I'll continue to post more modern photos for the auctions.
