    i feel ya,Afro.it does get frustating..i do it for the love of the game and for my personal satisfaction,but it does suck when you think you got something worthwhile and nobody comments.

    i do get comments on my stuff from teammates and some randoms,and there's always the guys that pay it forward when you take the time to comment on their vids.i've only been around for about a year so i get what the guys that have been here for the long haul are saying.it does get monotonous and i'm probably one of those guys you'd call bland on the editing front.

    i'd like to believe skating wise i put out good stuff,just more concerned with tricks than edits.that's just me,i love the vids that guys take the time to get elaborate with edits,i just don't have the means or the knowhow.

    Every community has cliques. It's that simple.
    If you want to get noticed by a specific group or the general populace you have to cater to their interests.
    Whether you are OG, S2, or S3 makes some difference and to some what Team you rode/ride for.

    Video notices are hard unless you are uber creative or just damn clean for most of us.
    The main videos that stand out to me in the past year are "EternalRewind S3 Solo 1 (HC)" and "Roke
    Solo: Matanza" since they were creative and simply fucking sick watches.

    GC peeps do some solid work and they get credit for it as well. I'll never forget TexFreeman, Deacon, and
    IIIIIKILROYIIII for example because they are fucking uber talented.

    CAP on the otherhand has fucking blew up with some seriously talented people like Ohmi, Briden, Wilt, xRiver,
    and the CAP Faction guys for example.

    If you actually care about getting attention, then you need to go above and beyond at this point so late in the
    game. Find a gimmick, talk to people, organize something, create something, etc...

    Good luck.

    I feel bad for all the new guys, its really just bad timing. Fluckit used to be a very small, tight nit community. Fluckit traffic was already starting to mellow out, and then EA goes to shit and we are flooded with new guys and mediocre videos. I try to watch as much as possible, but when you have been spoiled with hundreds of videos by guys that have been doing this for a while and got things dialed its hard to appreciate the average guy who's just getting into making vids, or just doesn't have the quality control/style/effort ect to set him apart.

    The whole cliche things isn't really true. Well it is, and isn't, but it doesn't matter who you are, if you put out an amazing video you will get noticed, Eternalrewind is the perfect example when he put out that part with all the natas spins in S2. A complete unknown, but put out an amazing video and got noticed and the rest is history. We all started like that...

    Pawn is pretty much dead on. We have been a small comunity forever made up of mostly older (not all) dudes that CHOSE to come here. These guys are still members but not near as active. They come here on cig and lunch breaks with not tons of time to watch every video anymore. So most likely will only watch a video from a friend. A lot myself included only communicate with that person via a comment on there video. It's nothing personal and won't change. There is plenty if not more new members to fill the void. It's pretty much impossible to increase views or comments in any way in any direction. Magic tried before at EA and peeps are gonna watch what they are gonna watch. It is nothing personal, it is what it is. I'm glad people have a place to keep active in the comunity.

    If I offended anyone with my removed comments I am sorry, I meant no disrespect. I will admit I got carried away.
