@SecretSchnitzel That's good to here & you know I see your point too. I get that I would get more attention faster but idk how it happens. The reason I became friends with the people I did is because they liked the content I was producing. I knew nobody when I got my 1st 2 features but I got pretty known after that & I started "hanging out" with 2 staff members. But I also made maps between that weren't featured, some weren't even noticed by anybody lol. But I guess it's sort of luck of the draw to an extent because they were inclined to look at my maps because they had it in their mind that what I make might be be pretty cool since I had a few good ones beforehand where newer kids had to start from the bottom & might not get noticed. I do feel that some of my tournament features were cheap though & I even told the staff not to feature my last contest feature but they did anyway.
All good man. I'm just happy that we can have open dialogue about these thing without it devolving to snide quips and memes. Haha. I'll be the first to admit, I've been a toxic personality on the forums in the past, so a lot of the problems with discussing these sorts of things was me. Working on being a better person with my online presence though now.
