I've always wanted to say something like this... but I never had the
courage!  :)  I have to say, I agree on every point.

honestly, I've been just about driven to give up on Lugnet altogether due to
the lack of feedback. the number of MOCs I've posted that actually got ANY
feedback is probably less than 12, and of those, not more than 3 or 4 has
gotten more than a single "hey that's cool", and those were the ones that
were built from something somebody else designed. in fact, I can think of
only 2 of my creations that got any sort of constructive feedback at all
(the Highwind and Metal Gear Rex.) I even ask, when I post an MOC, for
people to tell me what's wrong with it. I can't improve if nobody tells me
what works and what doesn't.

Very true.  This is one of the reasons that Joel Kuester left, I believe-
the 'hey that's cool' posts.

You're stuff is great, by the way- especially the Highwind and the Space
Moose- but this is no place for model feedback.

I stopped posting feedback myself because my
replies just got ignored in favor of the great high .spacers, who make
wonderful creations, but seem to have no time to give the occasional "that's
cool, but have you tried doing this?" post. every very acitve group suffers
from this exact same phenomenon. the really skilled folks seem to only give
feedback on the creations of the other really skilled folks, and the rest of
us just sort of languish down here in the darkness.

I have noticed this ALOT.  Not to name any names... but some of the truley
phenomenal builders just sort of 'hang out' together, responding mainly only
to each other's MOCs.  They seem to build a mystique around themselves, and
the few times they do post they get a tremendous amount of responses, just
because they are who they are, and not necessarily because of the actual post.

I find this a bit annoying... but after all, some builders (*cough cough*
Gil Shaw) leave a large amount of good feedback... but still, one or two is
not enough.

Look at this MOC:
http://news.lugnet.com/space/?n=19233
the Trundeller is just awesome!  But when I came around it a day and 1/2
later, it had no responses!  NONE!  And now I am the only respondant to this
MOC.

I'm sure that if Aaron was somebody else more well known he would get much
more feedback.
