I dont have time to post right now.

It wouldnt be wrong to say I overvalued community and the impact of positivity while underestimating artists naturally moving from place to place in my posts.

I decided to post with complete honesty about my feelings on the place, and in some places my reasoning is less than objective.

I also disagree with my old post that Im trapped between a rock and a hard place and its impossible for me to do more, im relaying a feeling of frustration thats months old… but the truth is that the server owner has become more responsive and I could likely push for improvements.

I should be honest and say that the lack of traffic here can be reasonably blamed on a mix of factors, potentially including a lack of sense of community– which is something I could work harder to being by being positive instead of critical, but I dont have a lot of time these days. But it makes sense to think our changed url and history of disappearing is at fault to. Its stubborn of me to say otherwise.

But lets drop the criticism, which is something Im doing to blow off steam. Thats no good, I'm part of the problem to, contributing to a heavy atmosphere with brooding cynicism and harshly worded reprimanda.

Instead, what could be done to being in more traffic? Thats the question, right? Lets focus on that.

I think activitt begets activity. If people see lots of new threads, notice that this place changes quickly, they stick around and post because it feels alive. It sounds stupid simple, but the best thing we can do at in individual level at this point is probably just post.
