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.

All you’ve proven is that you give up too easily. Looking back on your posts to
space, you just haven’t posted that many MOCs. If you want praise, you have to
really impress. If you want constructive criticism, you have to ask for it
repeatedly. A lot of people tend to post when impressed rather than when they
think they can help your building along. That’s the way it is. So you have to
find other ways to improve your building, like research and study other MOCs,
experiment with unusual parts, that sort of thing. It’s not an easy road to fame
and recognition in any field really, why should it be any different here?
Consider Rick Hallman. For ages, he posted MOCs and got so little feedback but
he kept on posting MOCs, listening for feedback, improving his building, and
slowly his feeback increased so by now he’s quite an accomplished builder. And
all because he persevered.

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.

Actually, I make a point of not posting feedback for any MOC, newbie or
old-timer, unless I think I have some specific point to make. Often I want to
bring attention to certain details, but I generally like giving constructive
(positive) criticism. Why, just in the last few weeks I’ve given constructive
criticism to several old-timers and newbies alike, even Messrs. Sandlin and
Giddens. Even them!

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.
|
While I agree that there’s an “in-crowd” element to the former that can be a
little alienating, I disagree on the latter. I think “Real great ships” get good
recognition here regardless of the builder. Of course, if you have a good
example that I may be overlooking then feel free to point it out.
We’re all friendly here, it’s just that we’re also striving (to some extent) to
keep the forum as interesting reading as possible. Sometimes I think the two
compromise each other somewhat.
Cheers,
