HEY QUIT ROCKING THE BOAT!!
I also remember when more skilled people used to try to help the noobs along...
I don't know if people are being silent now out of fear of hurting someones feelings? or fear that they will be looked upon like they're trying to sway people away from a particular entry... or because monkeys will fly out their butt if they help... or just don't have the time to dedicate to help along the noobs.
all I know is, when I started, I was stupid and thought 'My entries are perfect, but why aren't I getting votes?'
but after being here for a bit, eating lots of crow and asking the top choppers what to do differently... I had people helping me left and right like YerPalAl, VVP, Billtv and ReyRey. You realize yeah, I do need the help. AND I'd like to publicly thank them all again.
I would really like this place to get back to the PSC I knew (as eve has so kindly reminded me in my old age)
a bit over 3 years ago. Where we were a community of Photoshoppers willing to trade our knowledge with fellow Photoshoppers for the betterment of us all. I still contend this site started going down hill when we introduced prizes to the normal chops rather than just for special occasions like H2H.
