Yeah I guess there's a reason the ignore list was invented. I should probably use it.

Depends how you look at it. Sure it's elitist, but I see it as a way of saying thanks to fellow photomanipulators and a chance to share WIPs and collate feedback prior to publishing.

I know I'm derailing the discussion here and perhaps we should take it to another thread, but if such an elitist place existed, do you think we'd see more or less content? If it was well known that it existed, would that prompt people to come out of the wookworks and try their hand at drawing or writing in an attempt to get in?

Yeah I only meant it to those guys who just keep asking for stuff it's soooooooo annoying especially when you see they only have 3 or 4 posts so you know they don't or have probably never contributed anything here. Over at metamorphose.org it's like omg they ask for shit every 5 seconds almost like demanding it at times like wow

You do not know to do is discuss and blaming others. No one is better than the other in this forum and we all have the same needs, more or less. But, you know what I tell you? But why not You go happily to fuck everybody, especially that boiled fish of howlingfan.


You are a forum of whiners. No one who knows how to take an initiative to create something for the community, you know just talk and say shit ...

P.S.
To me it does not seem to have written anything of annoying. I know what I have written, in this forum do not know how to do nothing but argue and get angry, all the time, what the fuck ...

I hear what you're saying, especially in light of this Josh person's just lovely commentary, but I'm of the opinion that the community gains much more by being inclusive than it gains by being exclusive. I mean, there are a lot of folks that never "produce" content who do really helpful things like bringing content to the attention of the community. Goodness knows we won't find those little nuggets without as many hands as we can get sifting for them. And I can easily see just in Missa's thread that only a small fraction of the people who buy her clips ever say a word. These silent and non producing members of the community are still really important in my eyes, even if all they do is provide those who make works for this community with a little praise and feedback.

I think it would just be more productive to weed out problem members such as Josh, who seem to go out of their way to inflame, insult and harm those who actually come to talk. I totally agree with you that folks like that would not be missed
