Hmmm. Good idea, I guess. Of course, if you read some of the LUGNET groups, only people who post MOCs are qualified to comment on others' MOCs, especially if you have some constructive criticism to offer (see the next comment). And one really (...) (18 years ago, 11-Oct-06, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Yeah, you're right, Tim.

(...) Wise words, Tim. Even if it's a simply "nice MOC" or "me too" post, it can certainly be encouraging. I recall that Legomaster Eric Sophie (URL) an effort> to post about MOCs so that posters make a point to reply so that they feel good and not (...) (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.general, FTX)

However, I usually can't be bothered with the posting rigamarole that lugnet puts me through to post anything. It takes me three clicks just to get (...)

Hi Tim, I totally agree. Your post made me sign in spotlight and answer. This happens very few since my beloved .Mecha is kind of desserted these days. I promise to at least give highlight or spotlight more often now. And as Richie mentioned we all (...) (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.general, FTX)

Thanks for bringing this up.

Hello! (...) You are probably referring to Mocpages. And what happens there is, I guess, this: People come along a MOC, see it's (for example) Castle stuff, are Mecha kids themselves, think "blah, Castle, boring" and rate it 1/6. On Lugnet there (...) (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.general)

Reason's that I don't post about MOCs at lugnet: 1. Too many MOC's, not enough time. 2. I hang out more at genre specific sites (fbtb, c-s) 3. MocPages lets me see pictures, author notes and make a comment from one page. 4. Other sites have more (...) (18 years ago, 13-Oct-06, to lugnet.general)
