Indietalkers: How has indietalk evolved?
- Thread starter Tinalera

I think rather than limiting the number of smileys in posts, you should limit the number of commas 
I'm serious about the smileys...
Yea, I can be long winded, sorry about that lol
Not you, us in general
I don't think it's changed much.
I joined just about a year after it was founded - seven years now. I had
been checking it for about five months before I joined. The age of the
community has stayed about the same. The really young ones (say 14-17)
drift away quickly. But there are always new young people to join up as
they discover filmmaking.
Since this is the friendliest forum I have found, the young ones do tend
to stay longer. On most forums when a total noob asks "What is the best
camera?" they are usually told to search the forums or that the question
has been asked too many times. Here, there is always someone who will
answer - even if it's the 10th or 50th time.
And they come in waves. Summertime sees more new, young people as
does the end of the year - kids hoping for a camera for Christmas.
But really, I haven't seen any noticeable changes in seven years.
thats why i love this forum
I don't believe in "evolution". I believe in Intelligent Design.
P.S. Gorilla, you can be as harsh on my videos as you want. My latest is in the screening room.
P.P.S. Nate, actually, you can make a movie without all that expensive stuff. It's incredibly difficult to compete with the big boys, but that doesn't mean that some good can't come out of it. All you need is one instance to prove that something can be done, and the Duplass bros. have done it.
To honestly answer the OP's question -- I dunno, I've only been here a little more than a year. This may be my imagination, but I feel like some people have become less active.

Going there now!
Why can't you just speak the truth? Criticism is just criticism; it shouldn't have a level of harshness attached to it depending on the audience. If you see something terrible, explain why it's terrible. The poster can then decide whether to take your criticism or leave it.
