Do you suppose it could be YOUR content? Haven't you read any of the archives etc.?

Call it what you like. You wondered why no one was commenting on your work. I simply said, "Maybe it is the content that no one is interested in."

You stated, "actually i get almost no responses, comments, even LOOKS on here.....not too sure anybody actually uses this site....."

Now that is what I call rude.

very possible......guess that sorta settles it then....obviously my work is of no interest to anyone on here, and i'm better off not wasting my time.....thanks for the help deciding

are you talking about something i don't know about? cause it looks like he posted a figure carving in the figure carving section.

content in the right forum? yes

do you need to check the archives before posting a picture of your work? no

simply seems to me that he was saying that people don't comment or even look at his work. while not commenting is a personal preference, actually looking at post of figure carving IN the figure carving forum isn't unheard of, and i don't think the archives have anything to do with looking at a post. most web forums on other topics get you pretty quick responses, whereas posting a picture or question on this site sometimes takes a day or two to get a response. i think that's what he means by not a lot of people using this site. i've come on here and seen most of the forums have the same threads, in the same order, for 2 or 3 days straight without new comments being added to them. it does seem, to some of us used to higher traffic web forums, that people don't get on here often.

Sorry,

You need to read my post again and understand what I said. There is nothing for either of you to get your shorts in a twist. I wasn't criticizing, simply pointing out that perhaps

the content wasn't something very many folks would make comment on. The original poster was getting all up in the air because no one was apparently looking at or wishing to comment on his photo of his work. I didn't say anything negative about the person's work.

BTW: Folks on this forum either work at leather as a hobby with a full time job or leather is a full time job. Under those circumstances there may not be as much time to "hang out" on a forum as in a lot of other forums that you and others may frequent. Whatever floats your boat.

My shorts aren't in a twist. i don't have a dog in this hunt. it's not my piece of work.

i was simply reading your response to his post. this is the internet, and there is no understanding of context in type unless it's blatantly stated. we have no facial expressions, tone or volume of voice to pick up clues as to intent of the writer, only what they have written. as you typed it, it did sound like you were berating his work, especially by capitalizing the word "your" in your sentence. suggesting that HIS content wasn't worth anyone's time. it could have easily been read that you were being rude. and in your next post you call him rude, and you quote his post where it looks like,in your opinion, he was in fact whining. not being rude. unless you think whining is being rude.

a nicer way to write it, if you meant no ill will, would have been something like

"Folks on this forum either work at leather as a hobby with a full time job or leather is a full time job. Under those circumstances there may not be as much time to "hang out" on a forum as in a lot of other forums that you and others may frequent. this might be why you aren't getting a lot of views or comments."

i didn't think he was getting all up in the air about no one looking at his work, just simply stating that no on was. and that's what i mean by context. you and i have none because we didn't type it. i could be right in what he meant, but i could be wrong and you could be right. and i'm still mot sure what you meant with your "Haven't you read any of the archives etc.?" comment. it just didn't seem to have any place in the conversation.

it's kind of a moot point anyway, as it seems he took the pic down.
