See, this is sad.
I post a thread bitching about people not responding to threads, and the forum changing and sh*t and it gets 52 replies.
I post images:
My friends are really pretty. (2 MORE POSTED) | Photography Forum
Fine. Here's a girl. | Photography Forum
And they get like... responses from 5 different people.
And just to see if it was just me... I noticed *Dan* has posted some *really* awesome images:
You can be my Summer Boy | Photography Forum
Justin | Photography Forum
And he's got like 6 responses.
The hell is wrong with you people? Go comment, critique, and discuss some photos for God's sake. All the photo threads I look at have like... a handful of responses, and the ones that are 50 pages long, are the spammy ones, or the ones people are arguing in, or... whatever.![]()

I *do* think that THIS is far worse since The Change happened. Frankly, I miss threads ALL THE TIME now, threads I would definitely check out if I saw them. Like yours. And Dan's. Heck, THIS is the first I knew that Dan had posted something! And while I *did* see (and comment on) your pretty boy thread, I *didn't* ever see the girl one. And when I post my OWN actual photo threads, I feel like it's just SO MUCH durn work to get anyone to notice it and make a comment that it isn't worth the effort.
I use the Active Topics to view TPF almost exclusively, and I think stuff is just getting buried so fast, that I never see it was there at all.

Can I have your cameras ?I'm dead. These keystrokes are the last muscle spasms as my body slips away into oblivion, as my atoms return to the stars from which they came. Because of that damned chicken.
..... so nothing ends up being said (most see good photos and trust that the photographer already knows they are good and is showered with appreciation/love/money).

you won't need them any longer.
You can keep the chicken though.
AHHH! Erose what you've encountered isn't a problem - its call the "you're rather good" condition.
Basically once you're beyond basic critique people don't have much to say except "nice shot". Now most of us hate just saying "nice shot" so nothing ends up being said (most see good photos and trust that the photographer already knows they are good and is showered with appreciation/love/money).
It happens to many - networking and being socially active (and thus encouraging more chatter in your threads not just photo centric) often helps.
NOTE - you can also suffer from the condition of "Too Nice" where by everyone says "nice shot" 50 times over in each thread which also prompts photographers to question the endless subject of "Well ok but why is it only nice"
