So, my friends were amazed to find that I have 200 wallpapers. I admit that I have a lot, sure, but when I see a pretty wallpaper, I can't help but save it for later, or for that exact moment. I know I'm not the only one like this. People with giant wallpaper folders, sound off with your number of walls! I personally have 209. Yeah. SOUND OFF! And you may as well post a wall too.

I don't manually sae them, usually use the mass download on a deserving thread, then erase the bad ones (low quality, low rez, text, or lens flare)
You are just starting kid, try to keep your collection organized in folders by series name, resolution, character, and whatever you feel like.

Lol wow, how long did it take to get that many? And I am, actually, organizing. Naming them with an abbreviation, then a number. Ex. CG12 = the 12th Code Geass wall I have.

about 1 year... at the start it was easy, you could take any good thread, and get about 200~300 good walls a day. Now, all I see is reposts... remember to get a good duplicate file manager.
Picasa, gqiew, irfanview, and dupDetector are good tools.

I have about 900, but I'm pretty picky about having good walls. Right now they're in one folder for single screen walls and another for dual screen, sorted by filename. My comp's starting to lag when I switch to thumbnail view, though, so I'll probably reorganize soon.

I've been collecting manually for about 1 1/2 years. I collect all my walls into an "Unsorted" folder during the week and do minor edits (crop, detext, new filename, etc.) on the weekend before adding them to my collection. I have about 80 in there to sort this weekend.

Oh, I forgot I also have a "Seasonal" folder for holiday or seasonal walls that I only put in rotation during certain times of the year so the figure is closer to 950 walls

Oh wow, I don't feel so alone anymore. :D I started collecting maybe 2 months ago, when I bought a new, pretty monitor. I thought to myself, "Such a pretty monitor needs an equally pretty wallpaper." So I came here for either the first or pretty much the first time.

A friend directed me here a few years ago, and now I have 62,000+ wallpapers, 25.3 GB. *shrug* I also have a collection of anime desktop themes from Anime Theme Creation and Themeworld, and rotate the wallpapers that match the desktop theme with Wallpaper Master. Unfortunately, I don't have any quality control (other than Doublekiller.exe, which looks for duplicate wallpapers) until I actually *look* at the wallpaper, which may be months or even years later. I just started using Dump-chan, so I'm the one uploading the fifty wallpapers for a request for anime wallpapers that doesn't get fulfilled *and* is pic-related. (Yes, every thread on /w/ is a request, and if you don't like what I upload, upload your own wallpapers.) Oh, and remember to get the not4chan grab extension for firefox so you can download an entire thread of wallpapers at a time!

There's nothing like delivering a request... 7000+, 3.3 Gb
Also, I'm slipping up. My unsorted folder is currently at 2000+ walls waiting for duplicate check, renaming and tagging.
I suggest using a wallpaper randomizer when you hit over 2000, it's easier to watch everything you have, and makes a point for having all that images.

2435 wallpapers in just over one GB

bit of a complicated process for me:

i manually run through all threads both on /w/ and /wg/ once or twice, maybe thrice, a week to see what new shit's been posted

if i find something i like, i save it to the desktop and then, when i'm done browsing, dump copies of each into a "wallpaper" folder on my desktop that native OS X desktop changer (in before macfag, My First Computer, etc.) parses and uses for desktops and also into an "organization" folder

once in awhile, when 200+ wallpapers pile up, i go into the "organization" folder and organize wallpapers first by whether it's anime or not, and then usually by series (although for non-anime papers, it's by "games", "television", "movies", "music", etc)

SO, in effect, i have two copies of each wallpaper i have: one in the desktop dump on the machine's internal hard drive, and another on an external hard drive

this set-up has worked well thus far, but the papers that i have no sauce on are piling up to around 500...i should get around to cleaning that out as much as i can soon i guess...

Wow, and I thought I had a lot...

I have about 4,024 Walls with 3,738 of them being Anime.

I sort all of my walls w/o aid of tools, since I have none. My Anime section is filed first by series (when I know the series), and if I have a lot of one series, I sub folder them by character or groups.

When I don't know the series, I have two random folders, "random" and "random girl" (since I like to collect walls of anime girls... who doesn't?) "random girl" also has many subfolders.

As a request, could anyone tell me of a good wall changer/randomizer, I use Win XP Media edition, and I would love to let my wall change itself.

Meanwhile, have a "random girl/cute/"

Specifically, it is good when someone far away from you on the internets has it because you can access their vast array of knowledge/data without having to deal with Weirdo McCreepypants in person.

I've got just under 200, but I tend to ruthlessly exterminate the lower-quality walls as I find new ones. Image eugenics ftw!

5426 organized in 21 folders such as anime, animals, movies, videogames, nature, abstract, ecchi-anime, collection (AKA SFW /s/) and ecchi-collection (AKA: NSFW /s/). It grows by about 10 to twenty pics since I began trolling, ooops I meant lurking 4chan's /w/ and /wg/... It's actually only about 1.35 gb cuz I crop and/or resize them.

Of course I keep the original ones and lots more pics and photos in a 250gb kurobox but space is already becoming limited so I plan on getting another external to connect to the kuro...

I use Desktop Wallpaper Master to cycle wallpapers every half hour or so.

Why would you do that? To make your computer slower?
Do you sometimes use your computer for the sole purpose of staring at your desktop?
