... comment more! XD

Seriously, I know participation is a little slow these days, but offering positive and constructive comments on images can really help people want to come back and post more here. Even if you can't think of anything insightful to say, just commenting to let the artist know you saw their picture and liked it feels good. I make it a point to try to comment on every picture I load and I'd like other people to do the same.

So, I offer everyone reading this a challenge: try to leave, let's say, five comments on images this week. (Hint: the "Recent Art" and "List Art by Date" pages are great ways to find a nice variety of art!) Again, you don't have to write dissertations on the image, but even just a, "Hey, this is pretty neat, I like the way you drew the tail" is better than nothing. Bonus points for commenting on pictures that don't have any yet! And remember, commenting is also a great way to get your name out, because often someone will follow a link to your gallery from your comment and sometimes leave a comment for you in return. It's win-win!

good suggestion i go throught the new submittions every day but i arrely hit thecomment button, mostly because i suffer from "whattosayia" ill try more:D

Usually I comment a lot, when I have an opportunity to actually stop and browse the artwork. When I comment, I just find what I like about the image, and let the artist know what caught my eye.

Lookin' good! It's so nice to see that little yellow "Comments" text on the daily uploads a bit more often. :3

And it's my pleasure, BK. I know receiving positive - and especially detailed and helpful - comments can really help people want to return to a gallery. Seems like we've even been getting a few more uploads these past few days!

Seriously. Yeah, the uploads do seem to be coming back up a bit. Not holding my breath, yet, though.

Every little bit helps!

Absolutely! :3

what i do to side 7 (and all galleries im member of), i usually take the memeber list (if there is one) and start checking the galleries one by one. ONce i commented on this girl, and she replied that she had forgotten all about side 7, but thanks for me reminding her, shell try and upload more

Cool beans. And wow, eight comments on a picture uploaded yesterday! It's been a while since I've seen that many.

Yes, appreciation does tend to make people work harder, no? I accept your challenge!
