Sean, don't be put down by this. I am sure (but not positive) that I have
seen this before. Firstly, some people quickly scan the groups and miss
lots of stuff. Also, not having answers doesn't mean people don't like your
MOC. I very rarely - I mean very rarely - respond to an MOC post. Usually
I only respond when I have the time and if I or something I am doing is
mentioned, if the builder has constantly awed me and I feel obligated to
tell him/her how I feel or if the content of the reply can push my current
political campaign. Just because I didn't respond doesn't mean I didn't
like it.
When I saw your football team, I chuckled. Your team is a very fun MOC and
very unique because it is uncommon to the normal building habits of us
AFOL's. I also chuckled because you posted it to .football when the
newsgroup was set up for the Soccer (in England it is called football)
theme. I like your team and will say that it is a simple but fun
accomplishment. After all the people who talked about using the life vest
as Football pads, it is nice to see someone actually try it.
As a note for next time, here are a few suggestions I'd have to help
increase exposure:
1. Crosspost to lugnet.announce.moc. Many lurkers avoid all the other
newsgroups but this one so to get away from the too-in-depth discussions of
some of us and just see the MOCs.
2. Increase photo quality. There are many easy to use $5 photo editors that
can help you do wonders to your pictures.
3. Place the subject in an enviroment with other eye-candy. What I mean
here is for many smaller moc's the pictures can get boring if the subject is
by itself. For example, if I were publishing a castle merchantmen's cart, I
would take a couple photos of it with a Medieval Marketplace stall(1) to
make things more interesting.
One final note, though there may not be verbal responses, almost 500 people
have viewed your brickshelf folder. That is a lot of people for only 4 days!
