- I'll weigh in on this one.
Fango, SlickOne, I respect you both and have enjoyed both of your posts for quite some time now. I would need more evidence before I can believe the first statement. People come and go on this forum for a wide variety of reasons, and my personal opinion is that most of those reasons are
not a lack of "thanks" button pushing or gratitude posts. My personal posting has fallen off for some time now because my job has become so demanding. No other reason. I still have an unfinished HC Vid thread titled "Caught". I'm sitting on a bucketload of vids for that thread and just haven't had the time to prep and post them.
As for posting in spite of a lack of feedback or decrease in interest, neither matters to me. I upload because I download. No other reason. I never look at the DL stats for my posts and don't intend to start. If nobody posts gratitude to my threads and doesn't hit the "thanks" button, it makes no matter to me. As long as I'm downloading, I will continue to upload.
I understand that we all post and DL for different reasons. This is my perspective, posted only to offer one alternative explanation.
