kona: Sorry buddy, thats not only an "attitude" but its also a blatant
fact
Each site seems to maintain its own interest more than trying to "interact" with other site.
But haveing said that I think its not all fair just to put the blame on the sites only.
I would say the most of the blame should be put on the
users themself, I mean how many do you frequently see uploading here on WC that also uploading on other sites - not a bloody damn lot!!! I bet you can count'em on one hand! (so to speak)
I dont know, but it seems that most people only stick to one site, and one site
only, instead of "spreading the load".
There are off course those that indeed do use more than one site (including yours truely), but our "breed" seems to be an indangered "spieces".
So.... what
can be done?!
First off all I think we need to change peoples view of what The Community actually is. If you ask around "what do you feel about The Community", most people tend answer: On which site??
Most sites are sees upon themselves as communities, which is kinda ok I guess, but that is not
The Community
The Community is (or rather
was) the.... hmm dunno how to put it to words really.... partnership(?!?!) between sites, in the old days before DA and WC got to be the leading places for people to "hang out".
Quite franktly I enjoy more roaming around on the smaller sites, but I visit all sites as often as possible, at least once a day. If only "everyone" would do that I guess the 'beeing-together-spirit' might be easier to revive.
Am I talking out of my ass here or does it at least sound a bit possible?!
Can The Community be revived?
I fear not.....
(but then again, stranger things
have happend and one is allowed to hope)
