Get out the 20/20 in Feb FS / Art of 2012!!!!

03/04/2013 10:43:27 AM · #1

Looking the the score reporting threads of both these challenges the number of votes and the comments are really low. Roughly 45-55 votes reported in for Feb. FS and 55 to 68 for Art of 2012. ....and not a lot of comments or zero reported.

Everyone loves comments so the best way to start the ball rolling on that is to give some out. Hopefully with more people that means everyone gets at least some. Will you give out 20 comments on the Feb. Free Study and also 20 in the Art of 2012?

Let's get this numbers up!!!! Can we get to 700 comments in each!!! Let' do this all you need do is spread out those 20/20 comments!!!

I've been awful in commenting -- I hope you don't mind if I change it around, but since the art one is so hard on people, I want to flip my 20 from free study into art. I'll try to do 40 in art... :)

Tell you what. I voted the FS first and have almost finished - just have a little bumping left to do. I'll pick up a bit of your slack in the FS and thank you for taking the pressure off me for Art :)

Yeah, but if I go deeper in one, I might just hit some images that didn't have many comments. I'll see what I can do. Here's where I am so far:

I'll try to get a few in in Art, too - but I'm going to try to get a few more into Accidental Letters first. I only have one myself (it's a great one!) and that is very disappointing as I entered one I thought might spark a few :(

OK, back with my count in Accidental Letters

Heh, yup very few posting here that they are participating....but that doesn't account for the silent crowd.

I am hoping that there is the silent crowd who just sees this post and then just goes off to comment without posting in the thread.
