well I do really agree, and I'll tell you why, thats also one thing I dislike; just saying "I agree", because you dont give an own feedback pretty much the same example as the word awesome. Artists should care and most ones do care for critism, because thats sort of a review that shows what the artist has done good, and what he/she could have done better. If people can't handle with critism, its their problem, because they dont see the positive aspect of it. Sure it might hurt, but otherwise, you'd never get better, and seriously, who does like to read 10 sites of comments like "good job" or "thats a great pic".
But... I have to say, I do that sometimes, too. and after that I explain why -in a short sentence- sometimes also in a longer one.

Well yeah, I can see what you mean about it. However...there are some people who are afraid of giving criticism as they don't want to hurt the artists' feelings(I'm one of them) and sometimes they hide it by saying "Awesome" To Bab: Yeah...yeah you do

Guess I should make one of those absence notices which other people than me are so good at doing.
By tuesday 12th, I will be gone. I get a visit from a very special person over a few days. I might get the chance to post in rps, but I'm not certain if I will for sure. By Saturday 16th I will be away on a small trip, but will return the Friday after that.
Keep rps going and all that. toodles~

Yeah, Kit has been quiet for a couple of days. =s I hope he can be able to post here soon. o.o
And to answer your question, Hesso, The Karma system was removed because everyone kept fighting over it. It sort of became a Popularity contest. ^^;
You know how others can get when their Ego takes control.
That answer your question, Hesso? *Hugs* ^-^

Bab answered the question about the karma system.
I have tried to contact Kit via YIM a couple times, but he never responded to me. I am getting concerned and I do hope he is alright.

I came over a bit of a weird thing just now.. I was over at Youtube bouncing from random video to random video through the related links, coming over a video of an American talk show where the British actors from the Harry Potter movies where asked to try say some requested lines with an American accent. Responses where generally along the lines of: "Wow, it doesn't sound like them anymore " and "Fun to hear them talk like that!" Following the related links I found a video where American singer Beyoncé was asked on a Brittish talk show to do an English accent. The responses in the comment section this time where more along the lines of: "We Britts do not talk like this! She's a dumb American ****!" Treating it as if it was an insult to them. Wtf? Beyoncé was even being very humble about it?! I'm okay with friendly bickoring and teasing when it comes to nationalities. Me, having lot's of international friends, we do this alot to eachother. But it really scares me when people, in reality prove to be this ignorant. For those who are not following me, this isn't a "country vs. country" thing. The nationalities are actually irrelevant to this message I have. I'll admit it might have been a satisfactory example, because stereotypically, Americans are usually portrayed as the rude ones. I think having the "roles" switched makes this message clearer. Bottom line, this is rather me being an idealist saying: You can't point out flaws, assuming you are above flaws yourself

Haha, that's gold! xD
Why can't everyone just be friends? ._.
Speaking of which, I highly doubt Youtube commenters are fit to represent any nationality, but they do show a disturbing side of humanity.

Oh yeah, Youtube commenters can be like that most of the time. =s
Rather give mature constructive criticism, like “Maybe you should do it more like this.” Or something, they instead think that insults and swearing is going to make their comment seemed justified. There’s also a biased thing as well, The Beyonce audience are different to that of HP Audience.
When it comes to it, the YT Commenters need to understand, they were only doing those accents in good fun, they’re not trying to get an Oscar for “Most Convincing Accent”. Besides, Why do I think people complaining on Beyonce, don’t complain on Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins as harshly? His accent isn’t the most genuine in the world either.
However, I do see what you’re getting at, Kit. =s There are some silly beings on Youtube (not all of them, but some), who need to mature up a bit. ^^;
What you think, Pups? ;3

Nationalism frequently gets ugly on YouTube. I like to watch national anthems every now and then and unless comments get disabled it always ends in a fight. It happens with every anthem because somebody doesn't like how this country did this to them back then or how this country did that or how they just don't like this country for some reason. It's nuts, they are just songs.
As you said everyone has flaws.

Been lurking here for the last couple of days. Inspired by Chels' update, I'll do a similar post so people know what's going on. Maybe I thought I owed it to you, I dunno..
There are multiple reasons why I don't come on as much as I used to. One of them being that I moved across country (East to west) to live closer to my girlfriend who'm I spend a lot of time with and to attend university. Yep, it's true. Kit's getting a proper education. And it naturally demands a lot of attention from me.
The biggest reason though is the undeniable negativity that would often surface here. It never got any better and at times I wondered why I would bother. I was actually glad I had gotten away from it at some point. But then again, you are not all bad. Guess it's why I'm posting here right now.
Frankly, I would not chalk this up to individuals bad behavior, but rather the sum of multiple personalities clashing. That just isn't a place for someone like me. I also browse other boards, one belonging to my own nationality and an rp chat client.
I wont pretend I am missed or anything, but there you have it at least. For those of you who have ways of contacting me and wish to, by all means do so. The rest of you, have a good day!
