Valued Pictures was closed =(

[edit]
This is as far as I'd gotten to a new logo I was making to suggest to replace the old one shown below, as you can see it's only about half-way done. The idea was shells, which were used in ancient times as money all over the world in spite of geographical isolation, tying into Valued Pictures.

The deed was done by SilkTork not many hours ago after a contentious dispute between over a dozen users on VPC's talkpage, some wanted to keep it, some wanted to delete it. Some wanted to make it historical, some never understood its purpose, but it is my opinion that VPC was very misunderstood and had a potential to be very important and possibly even resolve problems we have with the similar Featured Picture Candidates (FPC) and the connected Picture of the Day projects.

If VPC never rises again then may it rest in peace, the rest of us will just be on the ever persnickety FPC page. --I'ḏOne 10:29, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

I've reversed that crazy unilateral action, if we're going to shut it down it's going to come after an official MfD, not some convoluted long disjointed discussion on the talk page. — raekyt 12:13, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
