let's be fair, the design chat is just a huge circlejerk and you either participate or you can go screw yourself
people only want you there if you're over the top enthusiastic about the hype and even among the designers, there is a huge caste system of who will reply to whose questions and designs
there's some people you will only get feedback from if a certain circle of people thinks you're worth it and it has been like this for years
it sucks and is the reason there are less people designing than there could be and also is the reason most designers prefer not to be active there - because they know they can't compete with such a level of high horse
and no, I'm not in the least feeling bad for saying this, I'm just mad this is the case
hence why I only post casually and ignore the thread for most of the time since a few months
I don't want to just throw away empty compliments at some designs that clearly were just posted with a selfdoubt question so the designer's ego can be stroked some more
those not in the chat for the obligatory fan-club usually are just blind when it comes to everything that doesn't regard their friends or reactions to their own designs (which sometimes makes the line betweek the ego-booster jerks and isolated designers very thin)
but then again, it has been brought up many times and no one ever cared, so why should people start caring now?

you like designing: keep doing it. keep asking people whose opinions and help you value and only ever frequent the design chat when you know being ignored in favour of the hype doesn't deter your passion
