Because you probably asked a question that is already in the FAQ. That's what a FAQ is for: so I don't have to waste my time answering the same Frequently Asked Questions over and over again. You must be new here. Welcome to the Internet... n00b.
E-mail me and bear in mind that this is something I do in my spare time. If I'm short on spare time I might take several days to get back to you. If you have questions about one of the club nights or an upcoming event you'll be better off posting in the forum or contacting the promoters of the event directly.
Today I sent out a very rare mass-mailing ostensibly to announce some upcoming major changes to the site, but also to do a user "ping" to weed out inactive accounts.
You can have the pictures from the photo gallery as they appear on the site by clicking on the download icon in the caption box of the full view and using the "download" link on the image page view. Alternately you may right click on the thumbnail on the gallery page and select "open in new tab" or "open in new window" or "save link as". Bear in mind, however, that all the images on the website are copyrighted. These images may only be used for personal, non-commercial purposes.

The rating bar is for users to register votes for thier favourite (or least favourite) pictures on a sliding scale for the purpose of the Top Rated views of the picture gallery and the random pictures on the homepage, which are collected daily from the top 500 "worksafe" pictures. The only purpose of the ratings is for you to let me know what pictures you like and to make it easy to find the very best pictures in the gallery.

At the top of right-hand side gallery navigation (which slips down below the thumbnail block on narrow screens) there is a link "Turn off NSFW filter" - click it.
