Sorry. Again you are quoting me wrong. I never said that the forum is dead because my pictures don't get response. And I never talked about "boards". No idea where you read that. It is pure fantasy. See below. How often must I repeat that this thread is related to the general situation alone in the forum Art, Music, Photography and IN NO WAY related to my person? This Art forum has just a few posts and low traffic. That is a matter of fact. So reason for this thread was that I thought there were perhaps more people which aren't satisfied with the situation and would like to change it. And to start with something I asked if it could be interesting to have an "introduce yourself" forum here under Art, Music and Photography. Not more than that. Well, normally people say, oh, yes. Or they say, oh no, please not. Incredible that this simple matter turned to such a drama.

Congrats on the new gallery. What about some example pictures? 😊

They could move the My Avatar forum with a few clicks under the Art category. I'm sure that would increase the number of visitors here. The Peoples forum where My Avatar is now, doesn't need that. It has enough places with good traffic. In general. I think Second Life is an amazing visual adventure. They should point out that more in my opinon with an own community part. Hope that makes sense. 😊 What thread did you post? Is it to read somewhere? I'm curious.

I fully agree. Everyone has different favors and imaganitions. Oh, I actually start also sometimes with "sorry, not sure..." Well, I interprete your reply that you like this forum as it is. Nothing wrong with that. I love the idea of a central art place. But let us be honest - no matter what we want - I'm afraid Linden doesn't care anyway. 😄

Thanks for your replay. Please take this quote as answer. I guess you was in a hurry and had no time to read the original replay. I understand an art forum as a place where creative people communicate about their work, share ideas and technics and respect each other. I can't see that here. It' seems to be place where bored people can't wait to talk everything down just because it flutters their ego. Take this thread as example. How poisioned it is. They make fun of me, call me jerk and mock at me. If you already mentioned my posts, yes, the feedback is not exactly overwhelming. Well, some said, the reason is because I post to get attention. And that's what people here don't like. Really? It's like people visit a museum or a gallery in real life with a blindfold on because they have an aversion for some artists which the gallery presents. Funny. 😃

Well, this thread turned into a total wrong direction. One misunderstanding after one another. Probably my fault. I'm sorry abut that. So better I shut up and care my own business. 😊

Thanks for your input. I appreciate that.

That is a good point. Avatars and homes could be for example also own sub-forums in a to build SL Photography forum. I think in general is the question, if it is more attractive to have all at a central place or the way it is right now - photography related places spreaded all over the community. As for flickr, I agree. Well, I have my own website. Since years I'm on flickr too. But forgot both, my username and password. 😄

Hi, thanks for your response and your suggestion. But actually this thread is not about my person. It's about ideas how to make the from Art, Music and photography more attractive for posters. Right now perhaps a dozen people are frequently posting. I don't know, if my suggestion to have a sub-forum only for SL photography would help. It has doubtless pro and contras. Unfortunately it seems that my post attracted only the usual trolls (this is not meant to you.) Anyway, if other photographers find the current situation ok, I accept that of course.

Well, I'm happy about any kind of input. Positive or negative.

Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Langston Hughes I made the below avatar with a Maitreya meshbody 5.2 + BOM. The head is a classic head.

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I appreciate that.

That is really no problem. Thanks God i got yours. 😀

Whatever it is, Miss. It is dead. Your reply - the most actual post except this one - is from 9 hours ago. The second actual post in the listing is from 21 hours ago. And the third one is from yesterday and the one before from thursday. Wow. One post per day. I'm sure, the ones which visit this forum because they are seriously interested in SL photography are not happy about that.

I just noticed the link. Only a friendly reminder: This thread is related to the situation in the forum Art, Music and Photography. And not to the entire Community.

You know how you avoid to talk seriously about the forum situation is just too boring. So you are right, have a nice day too.

Are you blind to see? What is it in your opinion what happens here? A crowded place? Some people just post to attack because it is good for their ego. If they need that, no problem. Just go on.

Sorry, I list your reply under totally pointless. :) I think yesterday the forum had zero posts. And the days before only a few. That means all other threads didn't get replies either. Apart from that. Of course I prefer to get feedback. What do you think why I and everyone else is posting? To enjoy the spirits in the sky?

Yes, perhaps arts and entertainment instead of the current main forum. And art categories under it as sub-forums. I say it again. this forum ist almost dead. A handful posts per days, if at all. It's easily to see for everyone by checking the listing. That won't change by itself.

Lilly and her doll.

Flashback. One from times where mesh bodies were unknown. See stretchmarks. Add your own ideas.

Loni from UK.

I wasn't sure. Good one. A replicant? I'm more into female ones.😛

What's Nexis 6?

I like the first one much. It has a film noir thriller atmosphere.
