Hahahaha! I love it when people complain about people complaining!

Wow thats a lot of blame there if you ask me...I see Proc here all the time and chat with him in chat and know he does a lot of behind the stage stuff as do all the mods...who by the way volunteer.

For a free to use site in most cases this place runs ok, yeah it may need some sprucing up and a little TLC repair work, but for the most part it still runs ok...the lack of participation cant be blamed on the owner or the staff.

The lack of participation in my opinion is our fault, we make this place what it is and at the moment yep it is slowly spiralling downward. What we do abut it, I don't have the answers, I'm one of the people that stopped being active here a long time ago. Why I guess a lot of reasons less time to do stuff here, ran outa ideas to keep things fun but most of all, just fed up with the new attitude of the members, nothing wrong with that its a free site, nut the win win win and im an artist thing just got old for me.

I still visit every day look in on chat look at contests but don't vote any more and spasmodically type in the forums. I don't do face-book so I do miss a lot of good friends here at PSC. I guess I don't have the juice to do the stuff we use to do.

I guess its up to you new guys to take the bull by the horns and get this place breathing once again. Thats what we did way back when. Stop blaming and bitching and start doing, get people interested start fun forum competitions that keep people interested, get outa face book and get into chat. Make it more fun to be here, have your own fun contest with in the PSC structure.

This place had a lot of heart back when and now its lost its way, so why don't you guys make a new path for PSC, instead of bitching and griping and complaining start doing, I know for a fact you don't need the owner to kick start this off you need a community. JMH was more active here way back when but he did not do a great deal of out the front participation he did keep things going behind the scenes with a lot of help from the mods. Our Mods are here a lot as well we just don't see them, but there there and doing all the time, as should our community be doing all the time, think about it and ten do some thing if ya fail then do some thing else.

Protesting and complaining wont do a god damn thing but make people feel less and less like coming here.

Now before ya start going all but we cant do this and we cant do that, why not work out what you can do and start from there.

Just my 2cents from the old Lurker ACME 2000 soap box.

What's a good prize for a photoshop contest?
post: Apr 7, 2006
Let's say I wanted to promote a site by having a photoshop contest and getting entries. Something along the lines of where people would take ...
forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=32905
• The questioner asking if $100 or so would be a good prize... of course most said it sounded good to them...
However I had to laugh at one responder (Chopster) who said: "I know people who gravitate to those contests for free... just for the recognition (eg. www.photoshopcontest.com).
Even if you made the prize $10 bucks, it would be enough to generate lots of interested choppers."

also listed various facebooks, ANFA deal on youtube, Vokaris photostream on flickr and some of our tutorials.


SOOOO..... Could we each help by:
1. mentioning the site to those we talk to (in person and online - I've done both)
2. click on the ads to help with revenue? after seeing that daily revenue - that is dismal. I've never clicked on the ads personally, but if it would help, i'd do it!
3. Make some YouTube videos - something funny and give mention to the site of course. (I'm thinking along the lines of those 'deep thoughts' sort of thing... 'when i get home from a hard day at work, all i want to do is cut my boss' head off and put in on a swan's body.... har!'
4. Get a Wiki page up again

... and Wiz is killing the threads!

I'm fucking tired of his unbelievable fucking boring large [img]images[/img]...
I fact who's leaving his threads without reading it? ... I'm surely not the only one...

"Come on Claf, don't be shy, say what you really mean instead of fucking sugar coating it, as you so politely put it! I'm Glad I stirred you up enough to respond shweetheart!

wiz winning two contests in a row definetely means PSC is dying... back in my days you'd see people like desh, supak and anfa winning two in a row...
