I may generally be a lurker, hiding in the shadows, afraid to post much because I know most of my stuff is crap. Hell, I know my own limitations, and no matter how much I would like to pretend, I know I probably never amount to anything writer-wise. But I thought it is time to post something, because there isn't anything being posted anymore. Back when I first started coming to this site I could log into the main and see a whole page of stories, comix, pictures, and bandwagons that I hadn't read, even if I had logged in not 5 hours prior. Now I can go at least 2 days, and MAYBE have a whole page of stuff to read.
Once upon a time, or at least a few months ago, one could log onto ubersite daily and see a plethora of posts on the main page. Sure, at least 4/5ths of them were total shite, but there was new stuuf on there nonetheless. When you logged on you would see Tom, Habeeb, buckeyesthegame(wasnt tom and buck the same person?), Santaclaus, PolyamorousAJ, MyNameIsTim, and all the rest. They would all have some sort of post that might have been a "Diamond amongst trash", to quote Emmit Smith.
Shlongy would -2 almost all posts(for a reason, most posts were crap) and have a witty retort for every person who posted crap. At least Shlongy is still here, doing his usual, and I at least have that to look forward to. I have even noticed that Shlongy seems to have mellowed out a little in his later years, he even occasionally gives a 0 or the rare +1 or +2 once in a while.
But now you log on and there is almost nothing on there, and most posts are of the no content variety. They are short, one or 2 sentence things, or a repost of old rehashed crap. Or some stupid cut and pasted crap from a crap magazine, which I unfortunately had to read today.
It seems that the only way to get people to post is to have an "ubercontest" of somesort where you may win a pair of used shoes. I know that we ALL could use a pair of used shoes, but that shouldn't be the only reason to post something new, DAMNIT! QUIT SAVING ALL THE GOOD STUFF FOR CONTESTS!!!
