Is this really what the cunt site has come to? I know your forum is slow but maybe try to find some excitement in your life instead of trash a forum you hate. Its pretty pathetic. It REALLY is.

Honestly, what do you gain from this? I know praise yourselves on quality over quantity, but this trolling kind of puts you in a bind doesnt it?

I'm a man and I use pinterest. Since I was the only one looking at my Tumblr, I repost cool pics and stuff I want to buy at pinterest instead, and autopost the same stuff to tumblr. WHAT?!

From a Wired article. The "science" of Pinterest image popularity.
No human faces: Images without faces get repinned more often than images with faces. Among images shared by brands — retailers, media, etc. — those without human mugs are repinned 23 percent more often. This surprised even Gupta, a veritable scholar of Pinterest behavior. “I would have thought that faces make an image more relatable — it’s a human seeing a human,” he says. But it turns out Pinterest has its own distinctive character as a social network. “We think of Facebook as a network of people, and Foursquare as a network of places. Pinterest is a network of things ... and it seems like on a network of things, faces are actually a distraction.”
Little background: Pinterest includes loads of photos, particularly product images, shot against a plain white background. When an artificial background rises above 40 percent of the total image area, repins are typically halved or quartered. Gupta encourages clients to use a background that provides a compelling context in minimal space — like Deen’s picnic table above.
Multiple colors: Images with multiple dominant colors garner more than three times the replies as images with just one. Hence the strong pink, light green, dark green, red, and gray patches in Deen’s photo above.
Lots of red: Predominantly red or orange images get twice the repins of predominately blue images. (Dig Deen’s tomatoes and pink bowl.)
Moderate light and color: Performance falls off at the extremes. Images with 50 percent color saturation got repinned four times as often as images with 100 percent saturation, and 10 times as often as totally desaturated (black and white) images. A similar dynamic holds true for brightness; very light and very dark images are, generally speaking, repinned one-twentieth as often as images with medium lightness.
Portrait style: Images did best in a vertical orientation with an aspect ration between 2:3 and 4:5. This is a peculiarity of Pinterest, Gupta says: The service tries to rescale or otherwise adapt images that fall outside of this range, making them look bad.

The science of good cake photos.
OK, so, a photo of a cupcake against a white background ...
The cake and decorations are different colours. The icing which takes up the majority of the shot is red. The image has been photoshop filtered to be a perfect medium saturation and lightness. This of course is shot in portrait at 2:3 aspect ratio.
- the saturation is maybe a bit high23kon
- background should exist and be compelling, but no more than 40% of image. Also, cake musn't be hideous.monospaced
