Anyone use Gather.com?
Dec. 29th, 2011 09:27 pmSigh... I have a group there, called Animated Adulthood, for grown-ups who like cartoons. I finally had to turn moderation on, because no one on that website seems to understand the concept of posting on topic. Seriously - your awful erotic poetry and your ultrasounds (while understandably exciting) don't have anything to do with animation. Is it really that difficult to NOT CLICK my group? And really, I'm pretty lenient - all you have to do is mention animation in passing, although it would be nice if there were something more.
They get all pissy when you call them on it, too. Part of it is you get points for people viewing your articles, which you can later turn in for gift cards or cash (through Paypal) so there's incentive to post everything everywhere. But why bother posting to something where it's never going to show up? Guess I should just boot 'em. I just hate being the bitchy group owner, though.
My marine life group at DeviantArt is wonderfully behaved, though. I love 'em all to death.
