If only Don would change curse words to the word Piano... Better yet call newbies Piano's, that way we avoid stupid pop culture references.

Maybe the phrase, 'dropping a piano on you,' could be interpreted as killfiling you (I wish we could actually killfile some people here).  We can add it to the 'lava lamp' and 'cork tree' list.

Several times, I've posted that I'm not going to comment on someone's script because they don't comment themselves.  Then other post comments for these people.  Kinda defeats the purpose of what I'm saying.

That's because they are trying to make you look like a big meanie --

-- it's called "giving you the piano."

hello,

i'm new here too and i felt just like joybunny at first.

until i realized that this site is in a way like the real writers market.you have to fight for exposer.emmerse yourself in the community, make contacts, and never worry about offending someone.(though, using tact is always an effective way to communicate)

i am a working writer with a few projects in gestation and i was looking for a means to network with other writers, new or otherwise, when i am working on a new idea or screenplay.so far i have found that this site is a wonderful way for me to do that.i'm enjoying it greatly.

so, joybunny, keep at it, keep reading, keep writing don't lose sight of the reason we are all here...to tell stories!

whisper your scream scream your whisper

I may go back to putting discussion board names on scripts provided that we don't have another rash of username changes on the board.

Maybe you can make it a rule where people can't change their names, Don.  Or make it where they can't.

Or maybe wwe can drop a piano on them.

Quoted from George Willson
I know for myself, I don't typically comment on stuff when those comments won't be read. It's too much trouble to go to for what appears to be nothing. This doesn't necessarily mean that the script hasn't been read, though, since I've read stuff and left no comments on it. There is no sin in announcing yourself on your own thread to say you're here. Some people have nothing of their own to be read, and those people may go ahead and read what you have and comment. Others want to be read in return, and hey, we're most of us writers and we write to be read (and eventually seen). Some of us can come off a little harsh in this area, but if you hang around, you'll be read. It's only a matter of time. Don't disappear, get angry, or feel hurt when your script gets no reads. There are a lot of scripts on here. Sometimes you just need to do something to get noticed. Kind of like being read by a studio exec.


Get noticed in a GOOD way... not like what I did.

Kotton actually if you don't worry about offeding people you'll be banned (It's a rule not to offend people) just thought you might like to know that since the rules are beyond your reach.

It's all about respect, how can we respect people who just want everything for themselves and give nothing in return?

I think this thread is pretty much done and should just be done with. We've cleared up why he didn't get comments in the first place, and thats all he asked for.

And the cycle of members who join and leave continues... what else is new?

I personally love this "I've been browsing these boards for a long time but never joined" nor did they read anything or comment to that persons e mail oh how silly of us to think they'd change once they join.

High five George. (I've always wanted to use that on a message board, feels good.)
