As to posting photos, if they inform in any way then I find them valuable even if "nothing's changed". I've posted pics like that for a project in Montreal that had sat for years but was much anticipated. Bumping that thread paid off as the project finally started justifying everyone's faith in it. If a project is officially dead and cancelled the thread can simply be locked although I rarely do so...because the site sells and something new often revives the development.

But angry attacks and fighting only damage the community we have here and cannot be tolerated. Let's keep it civil and appreciate everyone's contributions!
