Ok why is it everytime I write a post in the photography section I feel like people just ignore me or don't take my posts seriously. I just wanted to start a new game, like alot of people do, which my idea was this...............................

I hope everyone joins along in this, if not, its fine. Atleast I tried. I figured we could start a new game. You will pick your favorite picture from the person who posted before you and add your own title. It would also be neat (and I know many of us would appreciate this) if everyone could comment on the picture they chose. It will increase the involvement with this post and comments on peoples pages! Well thanks in advance! :)
...................................

Was there anything wrong with this idea? I bet you if anyone else posted this same idea, alot of people would've joined in. What is wrong with me for people to not want to join in? I know when I first came here I started off a little rocky. I was crazy bout getting feedback, I got yelled at alot but I have cooled down alot since then so why is this still happening? I am sorry if I pissed anyone off or anything. I don't know, it is just frustrating!

It's only been 20 minutes, have some patience. Most people are at work during this time. Why don't you pick a picture and get it started?

My take on this is you are still a little crazy for feedback (i.e. post 4 photos in 5 different threads). I think you need to chill out a bit, calm down and give it some time. I do not personally know you, but I know before opening one of your threads, exactly what it will say.

actually it was only 4 photos in two and 2 photos in one so a total of 4 pictures in all in 3 posts today. It is not that bad. The other posts were just games I joined in on, pick a fav picture from the person above, match the photo, photo bump, etc.

hmmm... as said, it is the normal work day hours for many here, and on the day of a rollover, many may be out looking for a shot to get in before the deadline occurs. We also had a rather long-running forum game of similar/same, started back on Dec 01 of last year, with 1787 replies on it.

If it's of interest, it will generate replies, but let stuff sit and stew a while.

Sometimes the best way to receive is to give. You could start by giving some more comments out. You will not only learn from those comments..but you will get ideas for photos and it usually encourages people to go and visit your portfolio...which in turn gets you comments and contacts.

Give it a try...you never know!

I would love to give comments but I am horrible critiquing (sorry bout spelling if wrong) others pictures. I am very bad at telling them what they couldve done, etc and all I end up doing is writing the same "great job", "nice idea", etc every single time. I don't know. I need to lay low once again for alittle so people can forget me again! KK buh bye!

MssyNita....start by finding something good in each photo. And then go from there. It might give you a smile in the meantime.

MssyNita...it takes a lot of time to start anything. Rarely will you find anyone on here that is an overnight success with DPC. You have to work on it...with a lot of patience....getting upset only gets you into trouble...I know...I do it too often!

Everyone hates you.
But seriously, you should start a thread with a title like 'i've got worms' that's the only one i've bothered checking today.
Oh, and any thread judi posts to... Just to see if she gets herself into trouble.
