# I believe
that Figmaus is talking about apeloverage. Having been a member of b3ta and stalwart of /QotW for years, he mentioned on /OT that he'd self-published a book, and thereby attracted the inexplicable ire of a handful of people who seem to think that /QotW and /OT are their personal demesne, and that every other user must conform to their unclear, shifting, pusillanimous, ungrammatical, and generally witless standards. Eventually, he decided that, if he couldn't post without attracting whole threads of people telling him he and his book were shit, he wasn't going to post any more at all. So he doesn't.

# ^this
Maybe I should just stop frequenting qotw, it holds very little interest these days anyway and seems to be populated more and more by spiteful children. I'd like to join in on the main board, but i have little or no artistic talent so I don't bother.


Perhaps I should resume lurkerage.

# ah well, lots of regulars here don't post pictures very often but still contribute
but you don't necessarily need artistic talent to make things that are funny

# Depends on the tone you want, I guess.
I tend to stick to board and links as they are usually quite fluffy.

Artistic talent doesn't matter - if you have a good idea, that will usually shine through.

There is always the block button, too - which used well should allow you to see a version of QOTW that you want.
