Yeah, I thought I was keeping up with this thread pretty well and then I signed on this morning to find FIVE new pages. It's interesting to be sure. *sends some love out into the chaos*

I second the love wave! All we need is love. (Does this sound too hippie?)

omg. this seems a bit out of hand and over the top. therefore I must post this:

I have no idea what is going on. But I think in this case, ignorance is BLISSSSSSSSS. :skips off to play with makeup:


Oh, and PS: I <3 Specktra cause even if I disagree, I can still respect someone else's opinion, even if it seems odd to me.

But that's not the worst thing. I think there are certain groups of people here to stick to each other. Like, one person from some group posts FoTD that is not really special but they get like 100 comments and zillion thanks (why do people thank someone for posting an FotD anyways?), there is no much CC, and when some newbies post fotd (unless they are obvious talent for makeup or really pretty) they don't get much comments. Don't get me wrong, comments aren't everything - I'd rather get one good and CC than 50 saying 'that's pretty/nice/great'. And I got impression that there are members who think of themselves as higher than others because they are on Specktra for long time or they have huge collection of MAC. When someone says something opposite to what they are saying they get bitch slapped. "How dare they!" The funny thing is, those people who always cirticize don't even post FotDs...ha. There's no relaxed atmosphere anymore. It's like competing who's better, just prestige. For example, those huge banners for Gold, Silver and Bronze supporters. I can't say about whole specktra because I visit only few sections (FoTDs, Swatches and Tutorials) and there's no much discussion there so I can't comment on that. And I don't think whole T.e.m.p.t.a.l.i.a censorship helped you. I think this forum is so big and popular and has so many information just because of members, because forums are made of members and can make them what they are. That why I keep coming back, but not posting or commenting much. You should really value each member equally and not discriminate. I saw so many newbies posting 'Please be nice for my first FotD!' Doesn't that say something?

Considering that you are a moderator on a forum that has liberally borrowed from Specktra, and failed to properly credit, I don't think you entertain the most objective point of view.
