I just can't say enough how great of an idea this is. I try to frequent the forums and read as much as I can, but so often I only have a few minutes or skip over a good thread and this is an excellent opportunity for me to get caught up.

Cheers for a great job!!

 

[El Jefe]

Love it as usual! Gives me a nice overview when I'm out. Thanks Elle!

 

[Corny Noob]

Yay! We didn't make it into the top three but at least we got an Honorable Mention.
Gives me a goal to strive for when taking pictures of Nagini
Thanks again so much for doing this for us.
I already know I have to spread around some more rep before I can give it to you again :grin01:

 

[Roy Munson]

Great job as always, Elle. :cheers:

I sure can't argue with 1st place in the photos section. Vinnie's Amel-Blood-Stripe is one of the hottest corns I've seen in some time. :eek1: And of course, all the other photos are great too.

 

[Serpent2007]

JUST SEEN THIS AND THOUGHT IT WAS BRILLIANT :cheers: :cheers:

[Tula_Montage]

Thanks guy! I had a lot of awesome pictures and information to chose from this week, so I tried to fit in as much as possible. I'm still looking for anyone else willing to help. IE Maybe fill in for me when I am away in a few weeks. PM me if your interested!

 

[Jimmus]

Great job. I missed Dean's Egg bound thread, very interesting - thanks for highlighting it in the now world famous WIR

 

[Joni Garcia]

Awesome job, Elle!!!

 

[Lore]

Indeed Elle, I've neglected CS.com for quite some time. I must say, the 'Week in Review' is a wonderful and unique addition to this Forum that I quite like.

GREAT job. :cheers:

 

[Pet Corn Snake]

Can i offer a small suggesstion. Please don't take this as a criticism or anything Tula. What would you say to a link being posted for each of the top photos, so that its easy to pick up the thread? If this is included or is difficult to incorporate then i apologise. I know i don't contribute to WIR and that you put alot of effort into it. Just a random thought....

Cheers again for the WIR it does rule

I guess that make mine this week's unacknowledged birthday

jaxom1957 – 12th May

It was the big FIVE-O, and my very first birthday party. I don't feel a day over 49.

 

[Tula_Montage]

LOL sorry Jaxom! But I only post the ones that have had a thread in the GCC section

Happy birthday you old fart!

 

[jaxom1957]

LOL sorry Jaxom! But I only post the ones that have had a thread in the GCC section Happy birthday you old fart!

:rofl: That's exactly how my friends said it! :rofl: Luckily, most are older than me, so I look young and handsome by comparison... Would you at least believe the "young" part?

 

[Tula_Montage]

Naahhh. I can believe the "young at heart" part though

 

[plasticknives]

TUla- this is sweet. Now that I'm working 40+ hours a week, I'm a bit tired out by the end of the day- sometimes too tired for CS.com!
This makes sure i'm not missing out too much!
