Livining things up

Matt Trepal · Post by **Matt Trepal** » Thu Apr 12, 2001 6:49 am

Hey! So, I'd like to see this forum a little more active than it is, but I'm not quite sure how to do that.Part of the problem, I think, is me. I'm not all that garrulous a person, and I'm not out soliciting comments. I don't talk just to talk; to quote the Talking Heads' song Psycho Killer: "When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed. Say something once, why say it again?" And no, that choice is not an accident. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif">On the other hand, my readers don't seem to fill the forum with questions and comments, either. And they don't seem to talk to one another in my abscence. And when I do ask for comments, I don't get a whole lot. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/confused.gif">So I'd like to have something going on here, but, like I said, I don't know what to do. F'rinstance, I could hold a contest, but what? And I don't really have anything to offer as a prize except a guest appearance or some such, since I really doubt anybody would want a piece of original artwork (especially since I do a LOT of editing my drawing on the computer).Another candidate is a comic jam-thingy. Yeah, I stole that whole from Funny Farm (who stole it whole from someone else), but I think it's a cool idea. It's a lot of work, though, and I just got through a guest-strip week and am in the middle of a crossover, so maybe that loses a little of its oomph.I dunno (and that's the problem). Anybody got any ideas? I suppose I could make that a contest. Yeah! The "Fight Cast Or Evade Decide the Contest Contest!" Or, maybe not.Whaddaya all think?[This message has been edited by Matt Trepal (edited 04-12-2001).]

Maybe nobody likes you and thinks your comic sucks, and the only reson there's any posting here at all is because we're communicating in secret code to make crack and/or arms deals secretly.Hey, it's just a theory!------------------

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Actually, I'd thought of that.... And frankly, it would fit right in with the general path my life has taken so far. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/tongue.gif">And Tony, I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about.and I misspelled "livening"
I hate when I do that[This message has been edited by Matt Trepal (edited 04-13-2001).]
