don't overeact ; putting your work on qbn is like allowing people to let you know what they think of it, wether its harch or gentle.

On the first page of your blog there are 4 entries about artists that were posted here first.
Sorry if we are being rude.

"If you guys wanted a direct link maybe you should pretend the Internet never happened"
Internet is not about wanabee designers blogging about blogs blogging about blogs etc....
I've nothing against you, it's just that I don't give a fuck about the things you can put on your blog for a simple reason ; I've already seen 10 times before you post it
Bloggers are the web equivalent of TV adverts. And you do that for free. suckers.- ^You see what I mean now?....dyspl

public choice links are great!... just stop sending everyone through your shitty blog first...

Imagine how annoying it would be if everyone here showed up at your blog and kept posting links that lead back to here.
- <<PonyBoy
- this. I'm more interested in source than interpretation.ninjasavant
- BTW, check out a random Public Choice post, and see how the author of the link submits from the same site each time; NEWS FLASHlethebashar

To give you some helpful feedback (not really my thing normally), I would suggest all people new to the NT/QBN world just lurk for a minute before busting out stuff. You'll realize that there are (as with most long-running online communities) several general or 'unwritten rules' in regards to how to interact within the community in a manner that is cool with everyone there. Dig a bit into the history of this place. Find out why people react certain ways to certain thing. Perhaps (unlike your initial gut perception) isn't simply because the community is made up of immature folks, but because there's a long history of events here, that has dictated certain behavioral guidelines.
"Re-blogging" content without adding any value has been done in this place by many people many times before, and has naturally fostered a general negative reaction among the community as a whole.- Fine, then put up a big sign that says, "No Reblogging Here" . . . it would save people a lot of trouble, especially b/c re-blogging is 99% of what you see on the Internetlethebashar
- reblogging is 99% of what you see on the Internetlethebashar
- and that's why 99% of the net is SHIT... like your blog that houses content 'everyone here has seen'. Redundancy!!!!PonyBoy

It's funny that anyone on either side of this gets so upset. FWIW I very rarely even look at the Public Choice. It seems kind of out of place crammed over there in that corner. In the old Newstoday site it seemed better integrated w the content.
Anyway, lethebashar, I think even you would have to agree there's a limit to how much you should be able to post your own stuff. QBN doesn't exist simply to drive hits to your site. I think there are more effective ways to promote your content.

When I make a post I social bookmark it to several sites including StumbleUpon, Twine, etc . . . maybe I got a little over-zealous posting links to Public Choice from my blog . . . but if you look I posted links to other sites as well and I engaged the community which is a lot more than a "spammer" will do . . . hey, listen, all I want is some respect, and to elevate the quality of interaction here, cuz right now it's just downright disrespectful
- "all I want is some respect" people who say that scare me.quamb

I think people have been more than patient with you tbh.
- I think it's the other way around!lethebashar
