Posted by Red-Five on October 2, 2001, 1:14 pm Praise doesn't do anything for me. I didn't start the site to get a pat on the head. And sending more contributions (recently we've had plenty, thankyou very much) only helps the site, not me. I think the problem is I no longer enjoy this stuff the way I used to, because now it's just work. There's no exchange of ideas - so more and more I'm left wondering why the hell I do it? Clearly my role is to shovel contributions onto the site for everyone else to download. I think that much has been made clear. I kind of resigned myself long ago to the fact that running this site was never going to be stimulating or inspiring. I wasn't going to make any tf friends running this site, or learn anything new - and basically I was just going to act as skivvy so the rest could get their hands on pics and fanfic (which they didn't even thank the contributors for!) Which I could tolerate up to a point. But recently its been more and more of a pain. And then a couple of weeks back I got an email from someone which was the final straw - kind of put everything into perspective for me. I know I don't always respond to email quickly - but the last few weeks I've made a real effort to get people to talk to me about transformations. Practically no responses whatsoever. So I've scaled the site right back, and I'll see how it goes from there - but I doubt it will really make a difference to how I now feel about it. Things are not going to change around here. Like I say, it is obvious that there isn't an interest in this topic. If people were *genuinely* interested in something they would discuss it, not just download pictures. So I think it is safe to assume most of those 100,000 visitors are just general heroine fans who have no interest in tf's or um's especially. To all those who did make an effort to spark some sense of community - I offer an apology. Sorry I didn't come through for you guys. Maybe someone, sometime in the future, will try again and be more successful. I'm just trying to find a way to get rid of this burden without disappointing all the contributors who send in their work. A slow wind-down is probably the best way. But I'm open to suggestions.
Yes you were one of the two. The second one - so that shows you how long it has been.
