| Is .space- and all of Lugnet, for that matter- really quiet? I know, I'm contributing to the problem by not posting, but I've been grounded off the computer lately and so I haven't been able to post. Just checked .space, and no posts for a day. (...)

| (...) It's not just you. I have no idea what happened. A few weeks ago things were going great. Then, just as I decide to de-lurk, things go quiet. I feel like I just arrived at a fantastic party right at the time everyone else decides to go home. (...) (21 years ago, 14-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) The timing of spring break varies widely these days, so you might have something there. I have to admit that my rate of moc creation has been reduced a bit lately. My motivation level has dipped a bit, but there are reasons for this that are (...) (21 years ago, 14-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Is it just me, or...
|
| (...) I'm not sure if a new site is really worth the trouble - especially for the fracturing it does to the community, but that is really an old argument. I'd recommend posting a new cool moc, that would sure get lots of people posting again to say (...) (21 years ago, 14-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

|
| (...) I was on Spring Break all last week, which, suprisingly enough meant less time to post. I usually make the few posts I do, while I am in some boring class. Spring break meant law review write on, so I was even more busy than when I have class. (...) (21 years ago, 14-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Well, it looks like a few people are at least paying attention. And, here comes my 2 cents... Thanks for the thoughts, JHK; here's some back at you. I imagine there might be a bit of a post-BrickFest lull, and as others have said, it's a busy (...) (21 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Re: Is it just me, or...
|
| (...) Yeah, it's kind of quiet right now. I think people might just be busy with life. Spring is arriving in many places, and people are getting out and doing stuff outside for the first time all winter. (...) Good for them, they're having fun. This (...)

| | | | | Re: Is it just me, or...
|
| (...) Post your MOCs and don't sit around and wait for praise. I've posted plenty of MOCs that only got one or two replies. It happens to everyone. It's easy to blame it on "cliquey", but not easy to ask yourself if your MOC was really awesome. (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Is it just me, or...
|
| (...) I feel pretty goofy responding to this topic when I've let so many other good mocs lately go by without a post of praise. I'm in the camp of AFOLs who are in a bit of a post-PDX lull.

| | | | | Re: Is it just me, or...
|
| (...) This is a definate problem on Lugnet - but I don't see the cause as excessive "cliques". Blaming it on cliques is a convienent, easy way to blame the community, rather than anything else. One of the things to understand here is that we are a (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

| | | | | Re: Is it just me, or...

I'd say post a MOC, then a day later post that everyone ignored your MOC and everyone hates you and Lugnet is no longer the friendliest place on the internet and you're going to take your bricks and go home. That often gets more posts (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
