# right big huge intentional threadwaste
didn't get in the fucking newsletter this week despite massive efforts. cunts.
it's easier to get a fucking response on this board by saying something pointless than doing a decent picture. it's easy to get on the frontpage if you've got a certain user name. bollocks to the lot of it.



edit: weatherspoons in cambridge re-opened and i got VIP tickets and a free bar all afternoon so i'm rather pissed, and i'm giving up smoking so i'm really really tense right now. sorry

MOD EDIT : No worries love machine. It's good for these points to be raised as it shows that nothing is personal. Remember the amount of submissions to the board and the newsletter. Not everything can be rewarded with an appearance in there or on the FP.

# here's a tissue for your issue
it's random as bollocks. i got on the frontpage with my FIRST EVER post. my next frontpage, the fearstar, was 5 minutes work, and i'm not sure how it got on there cos it's really shite, and my third one was because that sort of image seemed to be the mods flavour of the month.

all you can do is just deal with it. though frankly i suspect your newsletter thing would have been better than kirk and spock having cheeky bumsex.

# Rubbish
getting on the frontpage has nothing to do with who you are. It just has to do with how funny your picture is and who happens to be moderating at the time.

As for getting into the newsletter - I personally have managed a couple of times but have failed far more often.

You should be making stuff for the love of it - getting in the newsletter or frontpage is just a bonus. It's nice when it happens, but if you make it your sole reason for doing stuff, then you are really missing the point.

# I agree with this
just remember, how many submissions there will be, both to this board for the FP's and mails to the newsletter.

We've all had many rejections. So be it. Life is like that.

# Exactly
your post there was number 2873697.

Admittedly only a percentage of those posts have pictures, but it's still impossible for them all to be put onto the front page.

# Exactly
as long as I find what I do funny/interesting, then I don't overly care. Of course, FP's are appreciated, especially when they garner lots of responses.

But hey, with the member number rising, it will become more and more difficult.

i made it for myself, but lots of b3tans i know that came round and saw it, loved it and told me to put it in the newsletter. so i bought webspace and taught myself how to make a website, found teh upl@od codez etc.....

you have something that you made and you have learned new skills in the process. What more do you want?
