I'm going to be honest. I don't look at even a 4th of as MOCs these days
because of Brickshelf's speed. When I say Brickshelf is slow, I don't mean
just a little sluggish. It's unbearable. It takes about a minute and a
half for the recent updates folder to load. It can take about another 3
minutes for a folder with about 30 or 40 thumbnails in it to load. Any
given image at about 640 by 480 resolution takes about a minute to load for
me. *A minute.*
I read your great post on this and thought about it for a while. I thought
about my feedback habits. After thinking on it for a long time I really do
think that Brickshelf is the reason I don't post feedback about 80% of the
time these days.
Aside from this I have no excuses. I think I have been lax in the feedback
area. I've been trying to build as much as I can during my free time right
now, but that can't be the only reason I'm not replying. Maybe I don't post
nearly as much feedback, or specifically critical feedback (on less than
perfect MOCs) as I should.
I think those are more or less my reasons, so what are some other reasons we
aren't seeing feedback from others?
I have never been one of the people that thinks, even for a minute, that
LUGNET is an unfriendly place. I have always seen LUGNET as a very grown-up
place in a sea of other moronic online forums. But-- I do think that it's
getting quieter and quieter here. Why?
A lot of people have moved on. People change and other issues in their lives
come up. I'll admit this makes me a bit sad, seeing some of my favorite
posters disappear, but thats the way it goes. That's cool. But where are
the new people to replace them? Am I totally paranoid here? I was looking
back through admin.statistics, and while I was by no means being scientific
about it, I noticed that as a whole, LUGNET's posts have dropped over the
past 2 years.
Lets just say for a second that I'm not nuts and that things are slowing
down here. Why? What can we do about it?
