Today is the start of Embiggen Days, a deeply misguided effort meant to encourage the embiggening of pictures on posts deemed most worthy!

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Here is the deal for the next 3 days all of the moderators, especially Arch Duke Maxyenko, will be embiggening all the best content. Hopefully you’ve been doing your homework! I am really excited to see what the next few days brings.

Remember, no whining about good content, don’t like it don’t read it. Also don’t search for a way to abuse this, it will not be taken in good humor.

I also encourage you to tag your posts “ !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ” to make sure it doesn’t slip through the cracks as well as tag for posterity with a tag you will remember if you worked hard on it and want to be able to find it later.(for example all my posts I worked hard on are tagged !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ).

Some re-shares are acceptable, please post to oppo not your personal kinja.

Just posted mine! I’m looking forward to all the good content.

Hat tip to you (and the other mods) for initiating this!

Hopefully we can spread out the content so it doesn’t all drop at once. I was thinking of scheduling a post or two to drop overnight, when we’re usually relying on hour rule posts.

That’s a pretty good idea. I was planning to schedule mine for 12:00 pm est, but decided against that, because that would probably mean it would be drowned out.

Permission to repost a handful of things from the past few months? Sort of an ICYMI or greatest hits series?

I guess I should start writing that thing I’ve been meaning to write for months ... and dig up the pics I took on my old iPhone ....

the last time i said embiggen this was to your mom, so it sounds awkward to say it to you.

Well there goes my productivity at work.

Boss: What the hell have you been doing all day?

Me: It’s embiggen day!

That’s the only question mark I have. Mine is scheduled for tomorrow.

Some re-shares are acceptable, please post to oppo not your personal kinja.

Can you give us some criteria on what makes a re-share acceptable? I’ve been thinking about re-sharing a couple of old posts. Part of me thinks that they probably just got quickly buried under a bunch of shitposts, never to be seen again. But another part of me says that the post had its chance to shine, and therefore must not have been very good.

Or how about we just slip in the “embiggen this” tag into old posts, and let a mod decide?

Truly a cromulent day.

I just don’t want people dumping their entire past collections. If you have something you want to share again and think its worth it...go for it.

Okay, well it looks like I’m going to break my no-more-than-one-post-per day rule then. Tell you what- I’ll just do one original post, and one re-share, and leave it at that to help keep clutter down.

Do you have a preference for the re-share method? I’m not sure if it’d be better to use Kinja’s share tool, or to change the post date. If you want, I could throw in a little “this post originally appeared on ___” note.

either or, im not going to be too picky about this. its just trying, like I said, to keep people from just dumping all their past work.

So much good #content today! I might have to stay in tonight and read OPPO!

So Embiggen days is over? How did the mods find that experiment went?

I actually really enjoyed it. I wish I had something I could have contributed but winter is tough for car content.

I enjoyed it, but I can’t speak for the rest of the group. I know I didn’t embiggen all the posts so I wasn’t acting alone.

Just wondering, will this be an annual event?

Or maybe instead of making it a once-per-year event, what about using the skybox feature instead to highlight the best post of the day/week ? I was never able to get it to save my attempts, but I was hoping a moderator might have better luck with it. I can’t even see the pin icon anymore. I noticed that some users are posting screenshots of it, but it’s not even displaying at all on my end.

good ideas for sure. I'll have to look into it when I'm back at a computer
