I would have to tend to agree completely with this.
BUT...
Based on the trend of lugnet not being the hub of MOC building/showcasing
anymore, I can understand to a large extent why this does not happen here. This
has been pointed out before, but due to the sheer volume of specialized AFOL
sites which abound (classic-castle, classic-space, fbtb, Mecha-hub, etc.), MOCs
(even really good ones) will fade into obscurity rather quickly in the overly
large abet compartmentalized nature of lugnet I’m afraid.
IMHO, it should not be taken personally by anybody that few or no one comments
on any particular MOC these days. For instance, my fairly recent post about
my latest MOC managed to garner
only one reply. But on both of the two other AFOL sites that I also posted it
on, there was plenty of feedback (mostly positive). Those other sites aside, do
I take it personally that there is only one reply on lugnet? Nope.
I understand if you would take my feelings with a grain of salt since I am not
new to AFOLdom and therefore do not take almost anything that anyone says
about me or my MOCs personally. I just think that one can not underestimate the
plethora of other AFOL sites which seem to have a much higher amount of MOC
commenting on them and the cumulative (negative) impact on replies to posts
here.
I’m just putting out one person’s opinion as to why this has happened. Please
feel free to ignore anything you’d like that I have said. And also feel free to
think your own thoughts and reply away if you have any other theories (although
it would be a smidgen ironic if no one replied to this post - lol).
I supposed that people should reply to this in off.topic.debate if you disagree
with me and want to pick a fight ;-) note the wink please

| I don't post here on LUGNET all that much anymore, though I lurk a good bit. Over the years, I've seen (as I suspect we've all seen) many an eager AFOL happily post a message to share an MOC, only to post a less happy message a few days later when (...)
