• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Wild Card Phototag

I came across this idea on another forum and thought some here might be interested.

This is a fun ryding game and one that you can play every day. Its a WILD CARD PHOTOTAG.

I'll give you an example.

The point of the Wild Card tag is to reproduce the "theme" of the previous post. For example, I started this with picture of my Spyder in front of a 'big view'. To "grab" the tag the first person to post a shot of their Spyder in front of a 'big view' gets to choose the next "theme". It can be anything, provided it is something that most would have access to. Use your imagination - for example, your Spyder in front of of a very large boot, or a post office, etc.

Rules are easy...
1. Upon posting your new tag, the tagger is responsible for specifying what it is in the photo that must be reproduced. Be specific, but not so specific that no one else will be able to play because we couldn't find another pink school bus.
2. The first person to post their grabbed tag gets to determine the next theme. If you get a tag, but somebody else posts their picture first, you have been Bruced. Post your shot anyway telling us you have been Bruced.
3. File photos are NOT permitted. You must ryde to play this game. Photo must be current, however, you can take the photo for the new tag on the same ryde of the grabbed tag.
4. The Spyder in the picture must get to the tag location under its own power.
5. Last but not least, should the tag be so ridiculous that no one is able to reproduce it, it can be voted down if a majority of the active participants feel necessary.

FROM THE TIME YOU POST THE GRAB, YOU HAVE UP TO 24 HOURS TO POST YOUR NEW TAG. AFTER 24 HOURS THE TAG IS UP FOR GRABS AGAIN. THIS ONLY APPLIES TO GRABBED TAGS. A DROPPED TAG (ONE NO ONE HAS GRABBED) CAN SIT AS LONG AS NEEDED.

REMEMBER, SPECIFY WHAT THE THEME IS.

The point of this is not to win the game, or get a better picture than the guy who just Bruced you, the point is the ryde. Let's say someone tags a post office. Rather than get out and ryde a block to my local post office, I might ride an hour or so, out to the historic post office a few towns over.... Make it interesting.

Given the wide area this game may cover, please tell us where your posting is located (city, state , country) even if it may be obvious from the photo.

Okay, so here's the 1st tag:

Your Spyder in front of a 'BIG VIEW'. This was taken on near Nederland, Colorado. Okay, so now go ryde!

Have Fun!

I've always thought this was a cool idea, and it's been tried on this Site several times, but for some reason it never took off

LOL! Actually, my camera not a 'happy snappy', but a 'crappy snappy'! :yikes:

Yeah, I get it... so dig out that old one you threw in the drawer last year when you swore you would buy a new one on Ebay and use it!!!!!

The other thing is it seems this site is a bit cumbersome to upload pics - does anyone have any hints?
 
Photo tag


Okay - we're close - Mooseman, you did both in one picture! Typically, you would take a picture of your Spyder (Spyder has to be in the picture) along the theme of the tag - Mooseman showed his in front of water. Then you take a 2nd picture with what the NEW tag should be - Mooseman and Spyder on an Island. They don't have to be in the same post, just within 24 hours of the 'grab'. So, now someone has to take a picture of their spyder on an Island, and then another picture with their spyder in the new location, with a description of what the tag should be. Nice job Mooseman. Who's next?

Wish I could do this, but haven't been on any islands in NC! I'm sure there has to be someone out there on their Spyder on an island!! :gaah:

Hey Moosemanj! Tag got dropped (meaning no one is responding) - I don't think very many people can get a picture of their spyder on an Island.

Would you be willing to come up with a new tag? Could be your spyder in front of a public clock, or in front of an old post office or???:2thumbs:

:2thumbs: It would be nice to get people participating with us.

What say you?
 
Can it be a loose interpretation? Gas pumps and small areas of grass in parking lots are referred to as islands. Or what about Coney Island something like that? It sounds fun if I'm understanding correctly.
