Club Crimsyn

We were talking about this yesterday, actually.

I guess my main problem with even allowing comments at all on what's suposed to just be a central site for updates is that I don't like the fact that people don't tell me things directly. There's a bunch of stuff that could get potentially overlooked because not every creator reads the blog or comments, especially because of all the trolling. Also, I felt like having to go dig through comments on an outside site was just another step to take in cc creation, and, truth be told, I have to admit I resented it. We allow anonymous comments here and have a couple different ways for people to contact us directly, so you don't even need a DreamWidth account if there are issues. I'd hope people would take the time to let us know personally instead of assuming we read every comment on every other site on the internet.

I dunno... maybe Joe (and others) want MS3B to go beyond just a site for updates, and be more of a central gathering spot for people to talk about the CC being released. If that's the case, I don't see how he can continue to let the trolling continue as it has.

As for us deciding to no longer have our updates featured, I see it as another way to show we won't tolerate the bullying; I don't see why we should subject ourselves to such inanity just so they don't 'win.' The problem isn't that there are specific trolled creators, because almost everything posted to that site has the potential to have a shitstorm of stupidity released in the comments. It's especially bad if you happen to be at the top of the page on a weekend night.

Thanks so much for your comment, by the way! I really appreciate the added perspective, and it helped me put into words other thoughts I had on the situation that got a bit lost to the rage. XD
