Note the FUT, I don't think this belongs in .general anymore...

There's nothing wrong with wanting replies. But if you EXPECT them, and complain if you don't get them, the problem is not everyone else, the problem is you.
If you need validation for your MOCS, you're building for the wrong reason. The only opinion that matters is yours - if you like it, it shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks.

Whatever. While Lugnet is certainly a nice place, there is no requirement to hold everyone's hand and jump to salving their hurt feelings because <whine> "No one is paying attention to me!</whine>. If someone wants that, I suggest they
search the web for Support Groups, or seek professional help.

Note it says Users, not Support.

Who's forcing the harshness? This is like TV, but easier. You don't like my words? No problem, don't read them! Unlike TV, you can even kill filter people so you never even see their posts to start with, so you don't even have to "change
the channel".
I think it's time for a lugnet.MOCsite.feedback group - complaining in that group that noone is paying attention to you might be more valid (but still not fully valid - you are not DUE attention).
