I'm out of here,

You guys are far too much hard work,
Way Too many rules, too much complaining,
everything I do/post has something wrong with it.
I just can't be bothered anymore.

It a great site here, just not for me.

No hard feelings and have a good one

Not sure it was about being called a cunt though. Enough people have randomly gaz'd me to say "People like you but I think you're a cunt" to know that b3ta is full of its fair share of stupid shits for it not to bother me quite so much or for me to actually ask them what their problem is anymore.

Very few rules really. And very little complaining when people take the time and effort to look them up.

You're a good artist, no doubt, but don't think that earns you the right to be a complete prima donna.

but b3ta isn't about just posting a picture or a link and fucking off hoping for more custom. Stay, chat, comment on other peoples stuff, be part of the fun and games. If you were here more often you'd get why people seem rude.


Don't just treat b3ta like an advertising space.

I just can't be arse with it all anymore.

# It's really incredibly simple, here, I'll guide you through it:
We like pictures here on /board. Post one, but post one with a small file-size (100kb~) or post a thumbnail which links to the bigger picture. Spamming usually isn't appreciated, so tone it down. A link to your site along with a picture is fine.

The /links board just love links. It's their bread and butter. So threads like this belong over there.

# don't be so sensitive...
whoever told you about b3ta (I know someone did), then they should have told you about the mentality here.

The only problem is that you've posted a link when - if you wanted to prevent a forum-wide asthma attack - you should have posted a strip, with the link below.

Draw a picture (not too big) and post it.
Make a funny pic (not too big) and post it.

make a funny animation, you'll get a reach around.


if all else fails - fuck'em.

# You're being met with hostility here because you broke one of the main rules...
...don't post non image posts on the main board. If it's not an image and is conversation it goes on the talk board, if it's a link it's on the links board.

People are annoyed because you have either missed or chosen to ignore several times when you were told this:
1) When you join you are not allowed to post until the following week and are invited in that time to read the FAQ and lurk to make sure people fit well into the "community" (as that's what it is) so I presume you didn't read the FAQ at this point.
2) Every new post page also reiterates the rules such as "pictures only on the main board" etc. So that's another ignore.
3) You say you have been yelled at before? So have I, I posted a repost-image in a new thread and was called a cunt. You know what tho? I didn't throw toys out of the pram, I saw a great number of mad people so I went and read the FAQ to see what I'd done so wrong. When that many people are telling you you are wrong there is more chance of them being right than you (not always but you should at least check).

If you read the faq and follow the rules then this is an AWESOME community. There is nothing wrong with you promoting things here to a point but be polite about it and don't push it. I've let people know when I'm going to be at cons with my comic on here before but to do so I drew a nice pic for them and posted the pic and put the announcement as a note under it asking nicely if people would like to come visit.

Basically pick up your toys and stay or continue your huff and leave, but we're a lot of nice people.

if you'd just posted a low-res version of the cartoon strip without the words (say around 100kB) in with your original post, there wouldn't be hardly any complaints and people would probably have joined in

it's all about the pictures
