hmmm, the online world. It's an interesting place. The stories I could tell you - MY GOODNESS! You can only imagine as the only other type of message board I had belonged to before photogtraphy was a pregnancy one! All of us due in the same month. A bunch of hormone driven women all in one place with differing opinions on just about everything! C-R-A-Z-Y!
But also one of the neatest experiences in my life. No kidding. Then things got really wierd and after all the babies were born and people had gotten so comfortable with one another and 'cliques' had formed and the sh#t hit the fan! I stayed out of all of it until it was time to stick up for what I believed in and it didn't go over well with those in charge so I got the big old BOOT!
I started my own board and invited some from the one I was kicked off of and you know the ones that booted me actually pretended to be someone else, gained access to my private board and copied and pasted information from mine and sent it to all of their members. Then proceeded in kicking off any members of their board that would not agree to leave mine?
Weirdos.
I closed mine after some threats were made to a few of my members and one of mine made HER own so now it's just a tiny, nice, quiet board with a few calm people. yay.
As far as TPF, I did not know one single thing when I came here and I am not kidding. Look back and see my first few posts and my face will turn red at the embarassing stuff I asked - the very questions that irritate many members here.
But I asked, got answers, tried and practiced and asked for more and more help and am moving up and up as I go along. I don't take breaks from here except when life is nutso and I try my hardest to stay out of trouble although when I see something that really bugs me I can't bite my tongue sometimes.
I feel that even if I knew all there was to know I will love to help those that are genuine in their want to learn more. If no one wanted to help me when I started I don't know where I would be now. Still taking pictures of my kids with my crappy 2.1 megapixel.
My advice to people on message boards is to ignore the things that don't interest you. Roll your eyes and move on. LOL. I know you are a great teacher. You taought me a lot of things so far and I hope you can stick around to share more of your thoughts with me.
One of the first times you critiqued something of mine I was like "Uh, whatever!" haha. But I knew you were right and apon getting to know what your style of helping was I learned to appreciate the honesty of it. And now I look for it.
Hang in there.
