I literally cringe every time I check out the comments there. To be honest, I don't even know why I bother (though I don't read them NEARLY as much as I used to) -- I rarely ever seem to find any useful or helpful info in any of the comments.
I guess I'm just getting too old....I don't understand the need to devalue people like that. That's part of what pisses me off about the whole shebang -- there are people, real living breathing human beings on the other side of the screen, real people who don't HAVE to take time away from their busy lives to create these awesome things for us. What in Will Wright's name is going on in the lives of these trolls that warrants such abusive behavior? Is there a psychiatrist shortage or something? I don't get it. The shit isn't funny, and it's wayyy past "no big deal, get over it". *sigh* I'm starting to miss the 'good old days' of saying shit to someone's FACE...
I know I've found myself, more than once, refraining from even TRYING to learn to make CC because I hear those comments in the back of my head. I wouldn't want to be featured on MS3B, but then I'll think about the sorts of things people *could* say and I say 'nah, nevermind'. Luckily we still have a plethora of creative geniuses around the community, and I support them and you guys to the FULLEST.
My TS2 Club Crimsyn folder is STILL chock full of my old CC, and I love every bit of the TS3 content from here as well. It's a shame that a handful of pitiful little demon children are driving folks to take this step, but you gotta do what you gotta do. I have so much respect for creators, and losing even ONE more creator to this madness is way beyond too much.
Tristan: "I didn't think you could come up with something like this on your own. Although 'Club Crimsyn' is something I could see you having a hand in." Chris: "The 'Y' makes it hip." Tristan: "Yes, if you say so."
