i dont think i normally rant and especially not here but this is my portfolio so ill put it wherever i like.

read/dont read. i dont care. itd be nice if people did read and help me gain some insight though.

i just dont understand the resource/tutorial many people are doing. this is not directed at anyone specifically.

ive just been browsing more and more around aff since im sort of quiet around here and noticed some things.

this is also not directed soley at the aff community by the way, ive seen it everywhere from back in the day 

on multiple forums, lj, tumblr, etc. anyways, im just wondering why people join forums, take what they want, remain invisible and leave.

the very word forum, traces back to the roman forum where they held public gatherings to discuss and exchange ideas.

so in recent example, i dont understand why people think its ok to just join shadowplay, for example, and take what they want and leave.

i understand that not everyone is interested in participating in the challenges, or posting a gallery, or being active.

i understand that some may feel intimidated, or feel like the environment is not for them.

but i dont see an excuse beside sheer laziness that would stop anyone from just replying "thank you" when you used/take something.

and since i make resources and tutorials i especially feel a bit offended when some people only view me as a way to get resources.<
