the majority of the reason i have found (and i have to agree) that people stop posting here is the "popularity" click that goes on around here,and the lack of HONESTY in comments.Simply because you are a "friend" of that person you feel it respectful to tell them there art is above what it really is or whatever.No one can deny that it does happen here,nor can they deny that are not guilty of it themselves.Since i myself have become a vendor over at C3D my comments here have tripled.I know my art isnt any better,it is just the way it is around here.I average 20-30 comments here,where over at C3D i get maybe 5-6.Thats just how it is. most people do not like this type of behavior so they move on.I know quite a few that have left here because they feel there not getting honest feedback.Who can blame them. Some people cannot handle criticism,and you get shit letters in your inbox next day,so it is best to not say anything at all.I feeel there should be no other option to have or not have criticism.If you put your work out there it becomes public domain and therefore open to scrutiny.
