Ok, this is not to offend ANYONE. But I must say that I've been a little flamed about the fact that people get upset at some little things...And not only that but some other stuff too. Like...there was someone that kept on spamming the forums. Really, it's not a big deal. Yes, it can get very annoying, but everyone should just cool it and not even make mean comments to that person. I've seen so many comments like that. No one should get so stressed out like that. I understand that some have a short temper, but...It's just not worth it.
And I'd just like to point out that there are alot of people that take the time to upload their art here, expecting some comments because they think the community would like it. But then they find: No Comments. It'd be nice to leave a little something to make the person feel proud of themselves of what they did.
And about popularity....I think some have gotten shy about commenting on something if it's not their friends' work. I know I'm always tempted to comment on something, but I always think if I should or shouldn't. Now, I'm not saying that whenever people DO comment people shun them, I'm just saying that people should be more "open" and welcoming.

We have talked about this so
All very good points, but
I also, while I still respect your views entirely, do not at all understand when you say you feel people need to be more open about letting people comment on their stuff. I've never seen somebody post something and refuse people the right to respond...I guess I just don't see how anybody could feel pressured to only comment on their friends blogs. That also seems to connect to the lack of comments on things, but either way, you've given me some interesting things to ponder, thank you.
Hm...?
The shy-commenting thing is
Again- Not trying..
to be rude
to get sympathy
to make people feel guilty
etc..
This blog is simply stating the way I feel.
It's never occurred to me
As for some feeling that their beautiful pieces go unnoticed, I believe that's why M&A put in the "read" count-so you know that, even though no one may comment, you know that people are definitely looking :3 It's not on quite the same level, but if I don't get comments, watching the read count makes me feel better ^^
And of course you're right, the whole spamming event that happened not long ago could have been handled better, but we learn from past experiences, so the next time things can be taken with more grace.
Really, I know negative things hog the spotlight, but the members here are AWESOME. Every one of them. We all say things occasionally that we later come to regret, but no one is like that 100% of the time. I've never seen a newbie intro post go unwelcomed, and many, many more people are friendly than negative. Don't let countless good actions get overshadowed by the few bad ones :3
So cheer up, deer Bayleen <3
You know, I've just had an
Anybody else thing there could be something to this? or should I not post deep ramblings after my bedtime? lol xD
No, no, please do ^^ I'm
You have an interesting thought, and it could be that people don't want to feel intimidated themselves. Could be it, but not quite sure. I mean, people have different reasons, but they can share a common thought with others. Idk, I mean, personally I don't feel that certain way- but I get your drift ^^
Yeah, I guess I could also be
Yeah, it's kinda hard to be
Maybe some people get more annoyed on the forums because they know that no one knows them in real life and they think they can say whatever and it would be ok because there's no one around to send them to the "principal's office". But not neccesarily "getting away with anything". And plus, here I think people describe it as being a little more "free" in which I think that's true.
