Great choice of theme @mali_zweipunktnull, I might try and enter this week if I get time.

Proof that negative ads are also ads. Being boycotting mc dumb since decades the first thought by reading “Out of Order” was their ice cream machine.

I borrowed it from the past

Challenge 265 was also once “Out of Order,” but that was almost 20 years ago. The pictures are gone, and the users from back then probably are too.

After checking with Helge, it’s OK to revisit the topic

PURE “not today”

Good theme, placeholder for me ( edit - i got a little too ambitious and no time to finish…perhaps next time)

Most of them a probably gone, indeed. But I managed to repair a few of the image links. So, four of them are now visible again: #265 (@Myn.pheos, @RobertT, @templa_edhel, @Tys)

Helge · October 1, 2026, 8:36pm

Most of them, I suppose. RobertT checks in from time to time, though. And if any of the others (@Eidam655, @Jack000, @Jeepster, @lardman, @Marsan, @Marslyr, @mfoxdogg) are still here and would like to provide me with the old images for post #265, I’d be happy to restore the old voting post. Who knows? Maybe this is even the right time to submit a new image for this week’s challenge.
