newbies?
That’s supposed to be the name for the people who are like here for a week
isn’t it?
Either way, this thing has gotten to where the ‘hierarchy’ of Lugnet,
the original members, have established this ‘little world’ in where there
are many pics and an established rank. To the new ones, be it new as in
year new or month new, they are, well, left out. Ive been ignored sometimes,
as have others I know, and i admit its turned me off of posting.
|
As have I. The reason I do not post my MOCs is not because they are CAD or
microfig, but because it is a waste of time to post. I know I’ll get maybe one
or two replies, so therefore I don’t waste my time. I have proven this.
| |
Maybe I’m wrong, Maybe there is no hierarchy, but it seems that little
accomplishments by these ‘old dudes’ make more headlines then huge
accomplishments by unknown dudes, like myself.
|
I concur. Some well-known “insider” posts something about a Fleebnork, but when
a “newbie” posts a real great ship, it is either ignored or hardly replied to.
This is why the newbie will eventually stop posting their MOCs.
| |
This is my opinion, and I’ll
prolly get in trouble one way or another for it. I hate tho how younger
kids (e.g JHK, me, Dan, any other people who I didn’t name) are viewed as
babies and apparently ‘unworthy’ of claim to others. Like it or not, thats
the way LUGNET’s started to become.
|
Yes it has. A 13 year old, such as myself, can have as much talent as Dan
Jassim or Mark Sandlin has. However, younger teens are not always allowed to
have jobs in certain states, therefore cannot buy enough LEGO to make something
as large or as good as an older person.
The LUGNet hierarchy should not be classified by age, but by the way the builder
builds. It feels good, I admit, if an “insider” replies to your MOC post,
because it makes you feel noticed. But if no one replies, not even fellow
newbies, it decreases your morale. Even if you have a great MOC but a lower
morale thanks to lack of replies, you don’t want to post.
| |
It’s one of its only drawbacks, but that seems to be the case.
So, now I dip back into my life and out of Lego for awhile...
|
And I dip back to the twisted concoctions of my brain...
