Now that was impressive!

You raise some very good points, gracilis, but there are some things that you did not inlcude in your speech.

First of all, lurkers are not being banned. They are being limited.

Another thing is that the definition of a community is a group of people coming together for a common reason. While you may be right about too many people active at once diluting the community, you are figuring that everyone will be submitting art, writing stories, or some other such thing. Many things of this nature are beyond the scope of many people's abilities. For example, I can write, but I cannot draw well. As such, I add to this group by writing.

People who either cannot do something like this, or otherwise don't want to, are still perfectly capable of commenting on another person's work. This limitation is trying to influence people to respond to things that have been submitted to these boards. If they respond, it will push some of the contributers onto greater projects. That is the underlying reason for criticism. Also, having many people criticising a peice of work is a good thing. How many things in our world have been influenced by the desires of the mob? individual criticism is nice, but it's power is different.

Like I said, you have made some very interesting points. But, again, no one is being banned for being a lurker. Just limited.

I can live with that. Drawings as good as that one are worth waiting for. 😀

You just can't get the jokes out of your system, huh, Mr. Dimples? A nice short story, though. What were you trying to hint at through the whole thing?  🙄

Mr. Matthews, this picture is AWESOME!!!!
I think that this ranks as one of my favorite drawings that you have done. The only one that I can think of right now that can compete with this for "the best" was the picture of her entire body after she's done growing in the first comic.

Okay. That's not nice! I'm not sure if it is a good or a bad thing, but they weren't even copied well. And the fact that I could see that there are different styles being used is pretty bad, considering that I am not artisically inclined! On the brighter side, at least that means that this person thought that your artwork is great.  😐

I have to be honest. Max is the one that came up with the story. I just edited it and added most of the descriptions, as well as the transformation. To my knowledge, though, there is not going to be a part 2. That is really up to Max. 😛

That was an evil, evil joke. But, I have to grudgingly admit, it was a good one. Suddenly, I'm reminded of Terry Goodkind's first book in the Sword of Truth series, "Wizard's First Rule". In the series, there are thing's called Wizard's Rules, which turn out to be nothing but life lessons. The Wizard's First Rule is as follows: "People are stupid."

It then goes on to explain what the rule means. It basically means that most people believe only what they want to believe, either out of fear, desire, or some other emotion.

That's Amazing! Bravo! Hopefully, we'll get to see it when it comes out!

I said this before to another member, but I feel that it should be said to you, Androxi: Do not replace tact with honesty. I can sympathize with feeling like you are being alienated, but there is a better way to say it. Your message would have gotten the point across fine without the shouting at the end. It also would have been more acceptable to other members and would have won you some sympathy as well. As it is, you are proving everyone else's complaints about you as correct. In situations where it may look like everyone hates you, you need to try to approach it diplomatically and prove them wrong.

I suggest that you take these suggestions to heart and start anew. I'm all for giving you another shot at being accepted among the members here, but, ultimately, the descision does not belong to me. Regardless of the outcome, please try to bear in mind that you are probably not the only one who feels frustrations about the fetishes that are expressed on these boards.

It is a rather broad thing to search on. I would reccomend looking for story titles that inlcude "big sister" or "little brother" in the names. If you could give a more specific storyline, then I think that more people could help you.
