Oukay, perhaps I'm little dense here...

Those of you whom want constructive critique... How often have you given it or gotten really involved in something to do with critique (other then complaining about lack thereof)

How come there are so few posts in art theory and critique forums, and elsewhere people are complaining about not enough critique?  I'm looking at the forum description:
"Stimulating and Informative discussions about art, techniques, color, perspective, composition, balance and all aspects of art, regardless of medium."   and the forum is D-E-A-D    
It had fewer posts in a week then this thread. 

Why aren't people wanting to ask for and offer critique flocking to that forum???

Why don't people wanting critique point blank asking for it? Are you somewhat passively expecting others will read your mind?

Another thing on ceritique, just few weeks ago I was participating in another similar thread on critique, or lack thereof. As a result of that, I took one of my WIP's, and started a thread where I was sharing the process of creating something, and asking for critique on things, as it went along.
There wasn't a whole lot of critique offered. I thought maybe people were afraid to say too much, so I thought, okay, lead by example, show them you already see a few dozen things wrong with the image, maybe that will break the ice and people will start chiming in... so I made a post with a 20 or so point self critique...  Still not a whole lot of response, except for couple of people whom I invited from the previous forum/critique thread.

I know I'm not that good that noone had a thing to offer for improvement or critique, and I know I'm not that bad either.

Soooo, tell me you guys/gals whom are complaining about the lack of critique, why weren't you in there critiquing (not just my work, but in general)? Why aren't you leading by example?  What's stopping you?  Why aren't you leading by example?

For those of you whom may feel they don't have anything to offer... there's always a newbie on a an entry level whom may need to learn something that you just learned last week. The best way to solidify something you learned is to try and explain it to someone else in a way it makes sense. Don't be one of those people whom takes and doesn't give back.

Where did Drac go anyway? He better be critiquing someone's artwork...
I'm waiting here with his hug! [Kitty tapping foot]
