Basically if a thread contains even just one picture, it often gets moved into that forum. This, even though the most important information in the thread is not the picture at all, but instead the discussion about what it might imply or represent. After all, the picture in the ZCP thread was a repost from weeks prior anyway so it was complete non-news as far as that. The news was Mark's M's claims and detailed story (with a high degree of credibility).

I've been vocal about this type of thread shuffling in the past, but it seems that putting any type of pic in the opening post is the death knell for what would be an otherwise very visible thread.
You're referring to Mark's M's thread? It's not in the picture forum, but in the pricing/ordering forum, where it belongs to IMO.


Best regards,
