Well... for starters, what I am doing can only be good for this site and help immensely with it's SEO, which in turn helps bring more traffic this way, because as you should know... most successful blogs and forums have extremely large quantities of content and information, which is what I am striving to help add and share here. And anyway, Google rewards sites like CircuitBenders with higher page ranking and search-result positioning when more content is added and more activity between members and through Inbound/outbound links happens. In fact, it's within Paul's best interests that people make an effort to start doing what I'm doing... by way of adding quality content, asking specific questions, opening interesting areas of exploration, praising others and generally making this place a more friendly and welcoming experience for everyone. Otherwise, what you have is a dead site... with members dropping off one-by-one like flies... and that is very counterproductive to the aims of this website, is it not?
Seriously... If you want to vent your frustrations or personal feelings towards another person simply because you disagree with their behaviour, then I know of some good social forums and websites I can recommend to help you get your 2 bob worth!
Secondly... the karma rating is nothing more than a ratio calculator, ie: The number of posts vs the number of replies. Therefore it is illogical to suggest my negative karma could only mean people are getting annoyed with me. That's just an interpretation based on personal feelings, not facts. My questions barely get any views and most of the time, those views are actually me checking to see whether my questions make sense or need altering to be more clear, etc. So far I am getting some interesting answers and voodoo seems to be the only one complaining. But I also looked through voodoo's posting history and discovered that he has also done the same thing with S-Cat... so it goes to show that this whole situation is nothing more than incidental. A storm in a teacup, to be precise.
Anyway, after spending time reading briefly through the thread history of this site I noticed a sharp decrease in members recently. It seems a handful of well respected and prominent circuit benders deleted their accounts and moved on elsewhere. Personally, I have been witness to conversations in other circuit bending forums and blogs that mention this as well as their reasons for leaving... such as no one was bothering to answer their questions (which is apparently still happening... take me, for example) and that they felt like no one was actively taking part or paying attention to anything said or done in here, (apart from leeching all the information they could on how to bend!). And doesn't common-sense dictate that a complete newbie has more questions than most others because of the simple fact that he/she knows much less about something than others? Sure, I'll search the internet looking for the info I need. But if I can't find the info I need, I'll usually ask. If people don't know the answer or don't want to share the answer with me, then fine. At least I can't be accused of not asking! LOL!
And it was that level of searching that helped me build one of the only lists I know of that show all the Concertmates beside their Casio equivalents... all because I felt like helping jamiewoody out
I honestly don't believe anyone else here shares the same opinion as voodoo. And I think it's ludicrous to suggest that a single person has the authority, or even the knowledge, to speak on behalf of all members of this site when voodoo is the only member to have a problem with me.
*EDIT: Talk about 'derailing' a topic! I thought this thread was about keyboard colours!
