So you all depend on those ebots? Funny, I never, never had any ebots, because I never did this 'favorite artists' thing. I just browse the galleries and look at what catches my eye. And when I don't feel like browsing, or don't have the time, there's no ebots, and sorry, no comments from me. And yes, I also feel I'm getting less comments than before, but maybe that's because I have been absent and didn't comment myself... And another thing: maybe those ebots aren't such a good idea after all... Of the sixty or seventy people that leave comments on Kimmie's or Andreas' posts, there are maybe 50% that never or seldom look at most other people's images... and that's not very community-like, is it? I mean (and I think Kimmie knows what I'm talking about), some people can post a 'dud' and still get loads of positive response, while an extremely freaking good picture right next to it hardly gets any viewings. Thanks to those ebots. And what's the value of that response, if you know they're gonna comment and say something positive anyway, no matter what you post? Do you get my rage? Well, it's not really a rage LOL, but I find it frustrating sometimes, and really embarassing, and I assure you, not only for me. If someone's angry with me because of my writing, please feel free to use the IM system to talk about it...
