Is anybody else annoyed at this? I'm not talking about carcitypilot, im talking about how FUCKING STUPID it is to have MULTIPLE generic threads so people can post the same fucking image 4-5 fucking times for no reason.
I make a new image. I post my new image to my portfolio thread, the wip thread, the drawn anything recently thread, the leme see your art thread, the fuckin nsfw art thread, and then I post it to somebody elses portfolio thread.
What the fuck. Listen, the art forum isnt for exposure, theres no reason to post your image multiple times, its not going to reach more people, theres like 30 people who post here and like 10 that actually read posts.
You know, I have actually hated all of these types of threads since their inceptions. At best they’re just Art forum inside the Art forum. What is this place if not a place to share art, why are we making threads to share art in the place where we share art?
These two got in before I became a forum mod and were big enough to where I couldn’t in good conscience lock them after I got forum mod powers, despite my antipathy for them.
I can understand having the one thread of the sort, just a general Art dumping ground but in the forums - I guess - but I think, beyond the inherent redundancy, their presence is kind of anti community and doesn’t encourage engagement in seeking out and looking through a showcase thread/ potentially giving feedback in the help/showcase threads or having to work to draw post something relevant to a challenge, activity, and/or theme thread.
Mostly you see them bumped together and the latest post is almost always from the same person, like why would I open both when they’re the same thread.
Actually looking at the two threads there’s maybe three or four ones in “drawn anything recently” that aren’t in “lemme see you Art nowww.” And only one comment on any of the Art, the rest are all images or links to images.
I’m gonna do a little more research and consider locking Lemme see your art nowww for redundancy.
I think I just ignored both of these threads for so long I forgot they existed, but the more I’m thinking about it the dumber they are.
