Maybe I'm being daft, but why? You post your photos here. Put them in albums, etc...it's all here. And viewable to the public.

I gotta agree with Glenn.  Seems like it would be just unneccesary duplication.

But I think He means that a larger group of people will get to see and get involved....Might be a grand idea to open our world up to more people.... just my 2 cents worth...lol

It may be just my perception, but Flickr seems to have stagnated or may even be in decline since Yahoo tried to make it a Facebook clone. Yes, there are a lot of groups and a lot of pictures but I am not seeing the activity levels of even six months ago.

Yeah, why not just put up a picture of a screengrab of The Nation homepage and send Flickr users here. Generate traffic and interest in this site and support it rather than dilute it by having a whole other set of pics on Flickr?

I just thought people who came here have been looking around and probably searching the web for topics like CBG like I did. But I am assuming there are not too many visitors at this site admiring the content without having been looking for it in the first place - thats the difference to a photo-sharing-place.

But I got the message and skip it then.

Hey, we all know your intentions are good, and nobody is saying it is a stupid idea. The nation came up #4 on a Google search for me. That's not too bad, behind a commercial site that masquerades as a community site (http://cigarboxguitars.com/) and the Australian group of The Nation (no doubt you wouldn't get that as a high result) and the Wikipedia entry. So if someone is searching for "cigar box guitar" they will easily find the nation.
