I submitted some pics a few months ago so I contribute too.
I also support and give my opinions on pics, I rate fairly too! I also support the awesome pic guys like sov, jet, charls, dasjagwolf and other bad-ass pic makers since they've been setting great standards for us! Don't let the 1-voters get to you! You're inspirations to me!
Fleet ops also gives us a chance for normal guys like me to take crisp pics! I think its safe to say that our graphics can still keep up with BC and Legacy thanks to their shots.
Also I was under the understanding there was like several months worth of pic in the que. Has that changeed?
We have around three hundred pics in the queue. Almost all of them come from any one of ten people. We have more than ten people in the community. Thus, the poll. It's not to ask for more PotDs. It's to ask why more people arent submitting PotDs.
Competing with Jetfreak, Thunderfoot and Dan? I have absolutely no chance 
I have no good ideas on any Filefront site 
I don't submit photos as there seems to be a lot of internal rivalries/and/or misgivings and even further opportunity for such via the rating system. The system for submition is also frustrating, as all my pics are PNGs, and I'd prefer to submit more than one at a time.
I really must get back to submitting pics regularly again, havn't done so in a while.
I do agree with Dom though the system could use updating - being able to upload multiple pics at one time in other formats (.PNG) would make it much more appealing to submit pics.
My pic's aren't of high enough quality, so I chose "I can't compete with the guys who do it now"
(and I rarely play A2 anymore... I only add ships/stations/weapons and test  )
I agree with Dom and Dan about the upload system needing updating. Plus perhaps when there are so many by a select few perhaps those uploaded by people who don't regularly could be pushed up. That would encourage me to upload a bit more and those whom have theirs posted every other day wouldn't be too worried I would think.
Onto the poll, the main real reason I don't submit is a number of reasons, firstly there are way too many to really bother with, 300, I don't want to upload and then have to wait almost a year before I see it posted up. Secondly, some people are rather lets say not very diplomatic when commenting on peoples images. They just see what is wrong with it rather then giving the artist some positive feedback and tell them what they like about the image or that they actually like it.
Lastly that 1 voter he is just nasty! lol,
Really I am not bothered by him I think he is a rather sad person personally. Just though I would add that. A tad of comedy value for us all.
I used to submit potds years ago. Most of them I liked and was proud of however once posted they were compared to a select other few people's works and not rated very well. Eventually I just got tired of my pics being compared to people's pics that I didn't have the hardware specs and graphic abilities to match and gave up. This isn't meant as a knock towards those few who submit dazzling potds, just that the bar is set quite high for anyone trying to submit their own pics.
I usually try to bring a balanced selection of PotDs, favoring pics from people who rarely submit PotDs. But I can't do that if there are none... We have about 200+ pics from Jetfreak in the queue, try to balance THAT.
i submitted a bunch over the last year or so, but my disc no longer works and i cant get the iso to work either, until i do no new A2 pics from me 
i lmao at the last choice "I'm an idiot who votes '1' on everyone else's PotD "
@charles - I roflmao at the fact that three people have already voted for that option...
@Terra, I did post one or two some months ago, yet I haven't seen them posted. Were they missed or something?
Honestly I couldn't even tell you what the images were of, that it was that long ago. Plus I didn't see them in the archives so I didn't miss it on the day that it could've been posted.
Honestly, I have submitted a couple, but who needs to when Jetfreak has the whole queue clogged up with his masterpieces?
@maj - I have no idea. I've been unable to access staff features for a while now, and I'm not the only one. Backend problems being fixed ATM. I'll see where the pics have gone as soon as I have access again.
Thanks Terra. I may post some more in coming months, if this system of pushing those whom don't post much to the front of the line. I think a little variation would be good. Might be nice once I finish the modelling process for my ENT mod.
I voted that I didn't have ideas, but after reading the comments I think I'll try and submit some anyway.
