Loomex - don't bother with it! I don't. It isn't compulsory.

Stay around and enjoy what is here. 8)

That's exactly what I do!

Like I said, I will still come around. Just wont post much. Screenshot contest you get people bickering about whether payware was used, that a screenshot is a copy of someone else's, etc... Someone post a link for a video they spent time making only to have people put it down, and yet the next video they see from someone else that's almost the same is awesome.

Yep, and over the past 5 years, I have seen some leave and never come back because the rude and malicious comments continue.
I belong to a forum, where there is no childish play, no immaturity, everybody is completely respectable and polite to all members, but yet a fun community to belong to. No, I am not going to tell you what and where it is because there are members here that would flame the crap out of me for even thinking about it

Me too! Unless I accidentally take a good shot, then I'll post it and totally forget about it again.

Don't stray too far Loomex, I, as well as many others around here enjoy having you around, and you would be sorely missed if you did in fact leave (I know you said you're not).

i agree with you to an extent here, there are a number of people who dont use this site for what it is meant to be, a community based on respect and overal fun. But with a forum of the size that it is, well over 20'000 now there is absolutely no chance in the world that you wont get any not so nice people on the forums.

Now with the release of FSX and the new forums it is going to be a slight down point in the history of the forums with an influx of members as Beef said, but i think that because of the overall community i think that the good members will eventually weed out the not so nice new member and accept those who are completely genuine and nice people, i just hope you stick around to see this through.

ps. i hope this doesnt happen to much, and i really hope no-one does leave here because of it.

I occasionally look at the shots taken by members with a record of taking impressive pictures, provided they're on the first page.

No, not you

I try to run real tight ship over there. Kids will be kids and adults will be adults,..... This community has a wide variety of age groups. When you enter any forum, you need to accept this and deal with it. We can't police every body's maturity level around here.

I highly disagree with that as I monitor it to the best of my ability. I am always on top of anybody who is causing a stir. That is why I createdThe Oath! As silly as it seems, since I posted this and asked everybody to sign it, it has been smooth sailing! I will delete anything that is not within the guidelines or anything that somebody posts that is offensive or troubling! That's it. Read the rules, post your shot, be supportive of your other members and have fun!

If somebody does not like a certain forum,  you have the freedom not to enter it. I have heard this all before and life goes on. Your post referencing the Monthly Screenshot Contest is why I wonder why I even waste my time with the whole contest to begin with. Many, many people enjoy the monthly contest and have nice comments and constructive criticism for most of the entries. I think it has created an environment for everybody to learn from and have some fun. Heck, StudioV was "born" from the monthly contest! I find the ones complaining about how it is run, why they are not in the finals, etc.. are the ones who maybe should not be joining in this competitive fun that we have tried to offer to our forum members..


If it really gets to you, maybe it is time to lay low
