This recent post brought me back to
something that’s been bugging me for quite a while here. People rarely
comment on MOCs here lately (with some exceptions like trains). For someone
new to a forum I imagine this is extremely disheartening and would really put
me off posting if I were a newcomer.
So come on people, take the few moments to say something about a new model.
If a post has no responses after a day, make sure it has one before you
finish reading lugnet. This silence is unkind.
Thanks,

Wise words, Tim. Even if it’s a simply “nice MOC” or “me too” post, it can

him replied to one of my early
mocs.
Spotlighted. Thanks for sharing.
Which reminds me. While we’re all responding to MOC posts, we should be forward
in using the ‘Spotlight’ function, which will help solve one of the other
problems people see with LUGNET.
Perhaps, but if it is, it is one of the most collegial rants I’ve seen on
LUGNET. Kudos to you for bringing this up.

Also when I see a person that posted and no one has said anything, I make a
point to reply so that person feels good and not ignored. I have done this
countless times.
