As members of this board, you DO NOT have permission to copy and repost ANY photos taken by and posted here by other members without expressly asking them first. It's completely wrong to do so. I don't care what excuse you think you might have, it's WRONG.
To that end, anyone who simply lurks here and does not post will no longer be able to see the Photos board, the photos category or the Where Is Hugh threads. Access will not be granted unless you reach 100 posts on this board. I will not change my mind this time, because every time I do, I get burned. So I'm done, and this is the only solution.
People like this are the reason I don't post photos here anymore. Like it's some weird competition between fan sites to see who has what others don't, or who has the most photos, blah, blah, blah. But when it comes to photos a fan actually took themselves, even though it's the Internet and you can't control what other people do, it's still very wrong.
And, to the idiots who stole those photos - they're from 2004, not 2002, but you might have known that if you'd bothered to ask permission to post them first.
Thanks, Kristin

Thanks Kristin for taking this step. Lurkers need to earn their keep

I'm so sad to hear that people have been abusing the photos on this site. I love you guys and what you put up here... I guess I count as a lurker and will do my best to earn my keep and I completely support your decision, and I promise not to post just for the sake of getting over the allotted 100 posts thank you Kristin and everyone for a lovely site... really!

I thought about you because I knew it would impact you. Don't worry, it's really quite easy to get to 100 posts. That's, like, only a few days for me. Since your attitude is so refreshing, I'm sure nobody would even mind if you DO post a little more often for the sake of getting to 100. Here, I'll help. What do you think of Hugh's new haircut? That's a topic that's generated at least a half dozen of my posts since yesterday.

I'm not happy with the new haircut. Is he trying to look younger? He has had many haircuts when he looks just fine.

Maybe he just wanted to try something different for a few weeks before whatever goes on for Blackbeard? Or maybe it'll somehow be incorporated in the movie look. He's had better looks, for sure. I think this one does look better from some angles than from others. And I still don't mind inspecting all the different angles anyway.

If you look at the Getty images of Hugh and deb filming in front of the Plaza you'll see Hugh with perfect hair. I think he looks a bit like a Marine recruit right now.

Well, ... it'll grow back. And yes, those shots of them at the Plaza were fantastic. I wish there were more shots of him from the Clinton gala.

To be honest the ONLY reason I'm not posting daily is that if I started posting every time I had something to say I would never ever get anything done at all... I would rather sit here talking with all of you about Hugh than pretty much anything else! But since you asked... I'm not a big fan of the short hair, or of a lot of facial hair either for that matter. But truly Hugh could be covered in mud and I wouldn't mind... now that I think of it sloppy and slimy in mud might be nice....

Well, I know this isn't the image you have in mind (Hugh in a mud pit, yum), but now that you mention it, as far as I can recall, this is the actual scene where I fell head over heels, more or less removing my logical mind from my body when it comes to Hugh. You just have to tell yourself ... he wasn't actually in a sewer, and those brown clumps weren't REALLY shit. (thanks to movie-screencaps.com, great site!)

I'm another lurker around here so you're not alone! I am wondering if the only solution is to watermark photos. It'd be a shame but maybe it's the only solution?

I can't watermark photos I find on the Internet because they don't belong to me, but for the ones taken by fans, that's probably a good idea.

I'm seeing some broken links to some photos Joan had posted just recently. I hope that doesn't mean she's taken matters into her own hands and removed (or moved) everything she ever put out here, but I can't say I'd blame her if she has.

That's sad. I haven't been online much since a few days, so I don't know what happend, but I think I know which site(s) are meant. Mostly there are always the same persons. I for one hate it when photos are posted without a source (or link), because I want to know the original source and the date etc. to safe them to the right place. And I find it especially rude, when people post twitter, instagram ... pictures of others without giving credit and without a source and even cut these pictures and delete people from them, like a Russian fansite and a Facebook site used/uses to do it many times.
